Abstract:
The invention provides a mesh network bridging device adapted to allow a resource restricted device to pass and/or receive signals from a mesh network. The mesh network bridging device is operable over both a first communication channel, so as to communicate with the resource restricted device, and a second communication channel, so as to communicate with the mesh network. The mesh network bridging device is adapted to switch between a first and second mode of operation, associated with the first and second communication channel respectively, so as to alternately communicate with the resource restricted device and the mesh network bridging device. The mesh network bridging device may thereby act as a bridge between the resource restricted device and the mesh network bridging device.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of connecting a resource restricted device to a mesh network, the resource restricted device communicating in a communication channel having a first channel property and the mesh network communicating in a communication channel having a second channel property, the method comprising:\n during a first mode of operation, communicating, using a mesh network bridging device, with the resource restricted device along the first communication channel having the first channel property; during a second mode of operation, communicating, using the mesh network bridging device, with the mesh network along the second communication channel having the second channel property; during a third mode of operation communicating, using the mesh network bridging device, with both the mesh network and the resource restricted device over a single communication channel; determining if the first channel property of the first communication channel is different to the second channel property of the second communication channel; in response to the first channel property being different to the second channel property, switching between the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation; and in response to the first channel property being the same as the second channel property, operating in the third mode of operation.
