Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving packets from a group of nodes configured to operate in a mesh network; referencing geographic information associated with the group of nodes; evaluating a subset of the group of nodes within a particular geographic area; determining a global positioning system (GPS) location and a relative location associated with the subset of the group of nodes; determining configuration data for the subset of the group of the nodes; and communicating the configuration data to the subset of the group of nodes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving packets from a group of nodes configured to operate in a mesh network; referencing geographic information associated with the group of nodes; evaluating a subset of the group of nodes within a particular geographic area; for each of the nodes comprising the subset of the group of nodes: determining a global positioning system (GPS) location and a location of the node relative to the subset of the group of nodes; devel…
