Patent ID: 10638421

Abstract:
Method for operating a capillary network gateway (100-1), wherein the capillary network gateway (100-1) comprises an interface to a base station (103) of a cellular network for connecting the capillary network gateway (100-1) to a mobile telecommunication network and an interface for connecting at least one machine device (101-1, 101-2, 101-3) via at least one radio connection (107) to the capillary network gateway (100-1), comprising the steps of determining (S101), by the capillary network gateway (100-1), a condition to switch into a power-saving mode; instructing (S102) the at least one machine device (101-3) to associate to a further capillary network gateway (100-2), if the condition is fulfilled; and connecting (S103) the capillary network gateway (100-1) to a further capillary network gateway (100-2) via a radio connection.
