Systems and methods using optical communication for commissioning of network nodes

摘要

Embodiments relate to methods, devices, and computer-implemented methods for transmitting a modulated signal transmitted from at least one signal light source and using the modulated signal for commissioning of network nodes. The method can include determining, by a network node, that the network node is not commissioned. The method can further include generating, by the network node, a random number, and generating a modulated light signal based on the random number. In addition, the method can include transmitting, to an image capture device, the modulated light signal, receiving, from a network control unit, via a radio channel, an encrypted commissioning message, and decrypting, by the network node, the encrypted commissioning message using the random number. Further, the method can include establishing, with the network control unit, communication based on data in the encrypted commissioning message.

1. A computer-implemented method for commissioning of network node devices using optical communications in a wireless network associated with a network control unit, comprising:
determining, by a network node device, that the network node device is not commissioned; providing, by the network node device, a random number to the network control unit, wherein providing the random number comprises:
generating, by the network node device, the random number,generating a modulated light signal based on the random number, andtransmitting, to a photodetector, the modulated light signal; receiving, from the network control unit, via a radio channel, an encrypted commissioning message, wherein the encrypted commissioning message is based on the random number provided by the network node device to the network control unit; decrypting, by the network node device, the encrypted commissioning message using the random number; and establishing, with the network control unit, communication based on data in the encrypted commissioning message.
