摘要： Implementation and operation of a multiple protocol receiver are described herein. In one example, a multiple protocol receiver in a node may alternate between first and second states. In a first state, the multiple protocol receiver listens simultaneously for a plurality of differently modulated signals. Such listening may be performed in a parallel manner, wherein a plurality of preamble detection processes each listens for a specific preamble. The listening may result in detection of a preamble of a packet, which triggers transition to the second state. The detected preamble may indicate a protocol used in transmission of the packet. The received packet may then be demodulated according to, for example, a data rate, synchronization, redundancy and/or other factors indicated by the protocol. The received packet may be utilized by the node or retransmitted. The multiple protocol receiver may return to the first state to repeat and continue the procedure.
摘要翻译：这里描述了多协议接收机的实现和操作。在一个示例中，节点中的多协议接收器可以在第一状态和第二状态之间交替。在第一状态下，多协议接收机同时侦听多个不同调制信号。这种侦听可以以并行方式执行，其中多个前同步码检测过程分别侦听特定的前同步码。侦听可能导致检测到分组的前导码，这触发了转换到第二状态。检测到的前导码可以指示在分组的传输中使用的协议。然后可以根据例如由协议指示的数据速率，同步，冗余和/或其他因素来解调所接收的分组。接收的分组可以被节点利用或重传。多协议接收器可以返回到第一状态以重复并继续该过程。

摘要： Disclosed are apparatus and methodologies for detecting inversion tamper, removal tamper, and taps using a three-axes accelerometer sensor in a utility meter environment. Inversion tamper is detected upon power up if the acceleration value along Y axis is greater than or equal to some small positive threshold. Removal tamper is detected if the average acceleration change of both Y and Z axes is greater than or equal to the removal threshold. A tap is detected if the average acceleration change along the X axis is greater than or equal to the tap threshold. The initial acceleration values are set upon power up. Removal tamper detection and tap detection are distinguished using a moving average filter. Tap detection uses timing constraints to avoid false tap detections.

摘要： A system, method and device are provided for obtaining, from each endpoint device, meter reading data where the meter reading data are recorded and managed based on a relative time clock in each endpoint device. The relative time clock may be a simple inexpensive clock that tracks minutes and triggers recording of meter reading data for a particular hour at the end of that hour. In that embodiment, a collection system sends an endpoint device a request that includes a requested time that is converted into a relative time so that the endpoint device can understand the request. Since each recorded interval is generated based on a relative time maintained by the clock in the endpoint device rather than an absolute (real) time, the endpoint device does not need to maintain accurate date/time or to read meter reading data from the utility meter based on a real date/time.

摘要： Generally described, the disclosed subject matter is directed to improving the reception of data in wireless communication environments. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided for improving the reception of meter data in an AMR system. In particular, the method includes obtaining a sample of data indicative of channel quality for each transmission channel in the operational frequency band of the endpoint device. Then, the data is analyzed and a determination is made as to whether the reception of data by the collection system can be improved. If the reception of data by the collection system can be improved, a command is generated for reprogramming the endpoint device. In one embodiment, the command includes channel reprogramming data for reprogramming the endpoint device.

摘要： Disclosed are methodology and corresponding apparatus subject matters for providing improved efficiency in the collection of data from a large number of metrology devices associated with an Automated Meter reading (AMR) network. AMR network operation produces randomly spaced transmissions from individual nodes in the network. When an AMR system wishes to retrieve data from a large number of points over an AMR network, a broadcast or multicast request is transmitted to appropriate nodes. A time window is defined either in such request or in the devices themselves such that start and end offsets from the time of the request are received by the node. The start offset provides a quiet period to insure request delivery to all the appropriate nodes. The end offset provides a time by which the requested data must be returned. Responses are sent randomly within the window established by the start and stop offset times.
摘要翻译：公开了方法和相应的设备主题，用于提高从与自动仪表读取（AMR）网络相关联的大量测量设备收集数据的效率。 AMR网络操作从网络中的各个节点产生随机间隔的传输。当AMR系统希望通过AMR网络从大量点检索数据时，广播或多播请求被发送到适当的节点。时间窗口被定义在这样的请求中或在设备本身中，使得从请求时间开始和结束偏移被节点接收。起始偏移量提供了一个安静的时间段，以确保请求传递到所有适当的节点。结束偏移提供了必须返回所请求数据的时间。响应在由开始和停止偏移时间建立的窗口内随机发送。
