Title: Intelligent sequencing of multiple wireless nodes for transfer between wireless mesh networks in a process control system
Inventor: Wynn Gervacio Diancin
IPC: H04W84/22
Filed: 2018-05-03
Abstract: To organise the transfer of a set of wireless nodes between wireless mesh networks, a sequence for transferring the nodes is determined using predictive analyses applied to each node in turn. A first predictive analysis 304 considers the source network without the node under evaluation and identifies any remaining nodes which would be unable to communicate with the gateway of the source network. A second predictive analysis 308 considers the destination network excluding any nodes to be transferred out of the network and tests whether the node under evaluation would be able to communicate with the gateway of destination the network. Subject to these analyses, the node under evaluation is appended to a set of nodes to be transferred between the networks, this set being in order of priority of transfer. The system may be used to minimise downtime and disruption when reconfiguring wireless mesh networks to optimise operation. The networks may use the WirelessHART protocol.
