The present invention, a communication device configured to receive supply of electrical power from a battery unit and transmit and receive a data signal, the device includes a first wireless communication means configured to intermittently receive a data signal, a second wireless communication means configured to transmit a data signal; and a communication control means configured to temporarily hold the data signal received by the first wireless communication means, power off the second wireless communication means until a predetermined condition is satisfied, power on the second wireless communication means after a predetermined condition is satisfied, and transmit the held data signal.

A wireless communication system may communicate information about an electrical supply service to one or more devices. One or more services associated with the wireless communication system may be configured to change one or more operations, for example, based on a failure and/or reduction in the electrical supply service. By changing the one or more operations, at least some services associated with the wireless communication may be maintained during a period of reduced and/or insufficient supply of electricity.

Methods and systems are disclosed relating to low energy communication devices. A device may be configured as a low energy central device that is associated with a particular location within a premises. Information may be received from a peripheral device when the peripheral device is within a threshold proximity of the low energy central device.

A method at a sensor module within a sensor system for communicating with a gateway, the method including storing a timing profile for communications with the gateway; waking a radio core of the sensor module at a threshold time prior to a beacon signal being expected from the gateway; sampling a channel for the beacon signal at the radio core; if the beacon signal is detected: waking a processor on the sensor module; exchanging communication with the gateway; and powering down the processor and radio core upon completion of the exchanging communication.

An apparatus comprises at least one receiver, an automatic signal detection (ASD) module, and a learning and conflict detection engine. The apparatus is at the edge of a communication network. The at least one receiver processes RF energy received from the RF environment, thereby generating processed data. The ASD module is configured to extract meta data and detect anomaly based on the processed data. The learning and conflict detection engine is configured for conflict recognition and anomaly identification based on the processed data. The apparatus is operable to generate at least one report for the RF environment.

A bridge may include a donor bridge node and one or more service bridge nodes. The donor bridge node may be configured to connect to a base station pooling location comprising a plurality of cell signals, determine for each cell signal a service link carrier frequency in a service link frequency band and a bridge link carrier frequency in a bridge link frequency band, associate each cell signal and the determined carrier frequencies in the service link frequency band and in the bridge link frequency band with the one or more service bridge nodes, and communicate each cell signal at the bridge link carrier frequency of the cell signal. The service bridge nodes may communicate with the donor bridge node at the carrier frequency of the bridge link frequency band and with user equipment in the service link carrier frequency band of the service link frequency band.

A wireless sensing network communication method is disclosed in which, describes a gateway device and backup gateway devices in a wireless sensing network communicate in a subscribe-publish-based scheme. The gateway device subscribes to a device capability event. The gateway device subscribes to a network disconnection event. When network disconnection occurs, the gateway device publishes a network disconnection event. The backup gateway devices receive notification of the network disconnection event and publish device capability events in response. The gateway device selects a backup gateway device as a primary gateway in the wireless sensing network fulfill failover purpose.

Communications between an access point (AP) and a non-AP station (STA) are established in a plurality of frequency segments within a basic service set (BSS) bandwidth or on at least a first link and a second link. An extreme-high-throughput (EHT) subchannel selective transmission (SST) operation is performed between the AP and the non-AP STA in the plurality of frequency segments or on the first link and the second link. A trigger-enabled target wake time (TWT) session period (SP) for the EHT SST operation by either indicating one of the plurality of frequency segments as containing a resource unit (RU) allocation addressed to the non-AP STA or indicating one of the first link and the second link on which an operating frequency segment is located during the TWT SP.

The present invention describes a gateway device (100, 100a) for wirelessly connecting IoT sensors, actuators or devices (150, 151, 152, etc.) and aggregating the sensor/actuator/device data into data packages (160); these sensor connections use short range (SR) wireless communication, which includes Bluetooth, BLE, Zigbee, NFC or similar wireless technology. The data packages (160) are then transmitted to a monitor centre (190) at predetermined time intervals via a low power, long range (LR), wireless wide area network (LPWAN), which includes NB-IoT, Sigfox, LoRa or similar wireless technology. BLE standard is modified to further reduce battery power consumption for use in the gateway device. In addition, scheduling of SR and LR transmissions averts wireless interference.
