Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
having a plurality of signals, including first signals conveying first information messages and second signals conveying second information messages;
determining that the first information messages comprise a repetitive message having fixed repeated content, and, based thereon, transmitting the first signals in accordance with a first communication protocol over a powerline communication, wherein the first communication protocol comprises frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation or spread frequency shift keying (S-FSK) modulation; and
determining that the second information messages comprise a non-repetitive message having variable content, and, based thereon, transmitting the second signals in accordance with a second communication protocol over the powerline communication, wherein the second communication protocol is different than the first communication protocol, wherein the second communication protocol comprises phase-shift keying (PSK) modulation or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
