Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A power distribution system may incorporate a network communication capability. The network communication capability may be configured or may be configurable as a multi-tiered, mesh network. The network may have two tiers of fixed node meshes (tier 2 and tier 3) and one tier of mobile nodes mesh (tier 1). Each tier and each node of each tier has distinct characteristics relative to application, type of routing, transmit power control, physical configuration and message priorities. The configuration and the characteristics of the network change based upon varying application and communication needs of the network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. In a commodity processing and/or power distribution system having distributed network components, hereinafter nodes, each node having communication capability, a method for affecting message communication between the nodes, the method comprising: grouping a plurality less than all of the nodes into a first tier of a communication network and grouping the remaining nodes into at least a second tier of the communication network; determining, relative to each node, intr…
