Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods that enable scalable, cost-effective payment reconciliation between owners of devices at least temporarily connected in or to a particular low-power, ad hoc mesh network.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for enabling payment reconciliation in a mixed-ownership low-power mesh network, comprising: monitoring packet traffic routed by a particular node of the mesh network; identifying an originator node address and a number of units of data for each particular packet of the packet traffic; and sending, in response to a trigger, data to another particular node of the mesh network that represents a total number of units of data routed by the particula…
