Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. An automation system comprising:
a plurality of remote industrial assets;
a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, the SCADA system comprising a SCADA server configured for monitoring telemetry data from the industrial assets and providing supervisory control;
a private data network configured for communication between the industrial assets and the SCADA server of the SCADA system, wherein the private data radio network comprises a plurality of data radios, wherein one of the data radios comprises an access point, and wherein the access point comprises a coordinated access processor;
a memory device storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the coordinated access processor, configure the coordinated access processor for:
executing reinforced machine learning on messages transmitted between the data radios and the access point, including:
processing header data of a training set of the messages from the access point to the data radios to learn which of the header data correlates to soliciting a response from the data radios,
learning response time delays of the data radios for retrieving the telemetry data from the at least one of the industrial assets associated therewith in response to the training set of the messages, and
inspecting header data of the messages transmitted by the access point to predict a set of solicitation messages from which the data radios are being solicited for responses and corresponding response time delays; and

generating a coordinated access protocol for communicating the responses to the predicted solicitation messages from the data radios to the access point based on which of the data radios are being solicited for responses and the predicted response time delays corresponding thereto.
