DISTRIBUTED DATA TRANSMISSION IN DATA NETWORKS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for distributed data transmission in an RF mesh network or other data network. An exemplary system includes at least two distribution devices. A first distribution device can receive a first data message that includes a first header and payload data. The first distribution device can determine that the second distribution device is not identified in the first header as receiving the payload data. The first distribution device can generate a second data message based on determining that the second distribution device is not identified in the first header. The second data message includes the payload data and the second header. The second header identifies the second distribution device as being selected to receive the payload data. The first distribution device transmits the second data message to the second distribution device.

主权项

1. A distribution device configured for distributed data transmission in a mesh network, the distribution device comprising:
a network interface device configured for receiving a data message comprising a header and payload data; and a processing device coupled to the network interface device, the processing device configured for:
determining that an additional distribution device is a neighboring device,determining that the additional distribution device is not identified in the header as being selected to receive the payload data, andgenerating an additional data message comprising the payload data and an additional header, wherein the additional header identifies the additional distribution device as being selected to receive the payload data; wherein the network interface device is further configured for transmitting the additional data message to the additional distribution device.
