RECEIVER-CENTRIC COMMUNICATION BY COMBINED NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENHANCED RELIABILITY

摘要

The present invention relates to a receiver-centric transmission system for IoT systems, such as lighting networks, with combo protocol radio chips that share a single radio front-end for two or more transmission protocols of different network technologies while preventing unacceptable performance degradations in one or both protocol modes. The receiver-centric approach allows implementation of two networks with acceptable performances on one single radio chip per node rather than requiring two radio chips per node.
