Key Characteristics & Benefits

This patent portfolio discloses a method for optimizing packet data traffic between network nodes in a hierarchical or peer-to-peer network.

• A robust protocol provides flexible, prioritized access control and a retransmission process.
• Protocol accommodates a wide array of applications and diverse channel media.
• Packet prioritization features can be implemented within many of these network protocols to reduce collisions and improve the efficiency of high value and time-sensitive data.
• The protocol also provides error detection features such as packet acknowledgment and CRC's, while minimizing the communications overhead required for simple devices.
• Transmission priority can be a function of device type, data type, status condition, and/or the number of failed transmission attempts.
• Advantages are: efficient data traffic management, scalability, reliability, low-implementation cost and flexibility.
• The addition of priority-based access and retransmission intervals provide significant advantages over present CSMA communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet and its derivatives, Fieldbus protocols, LonWorks, LnCP, Controller Area Network (CAN) implementations, DeviceNet/ControlNet, IEEE 802.11, et al.).

Market Potential

This patent portfolio should be of interest to those involved in cost- and reliability- critical multiple networking environments including: telecommunications, industrial networks, home automation and appliance networks, smart-grid and utility data networks.
