Abstract:
A method and corresponding system is disclosed for use in a Networked Lighting Control System whereby communication costs (e.g. costs associated with LTE technologies), variable electric rates and traffic models are analyzed to maximize cost savings. In one example, the system consists of receiving cellular usage rates, electric usage rates, and generated traffic models or statistics to manage transmission and broadcast of usage rates to lighting poles. An apparatus associated with the lighting pole can then use this information to determine frequency of sending lighting commands to nearby poles.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 5  wherein the expected value cost function (E[C]) is expressed as the following function: E \ue8a0 [ C ] = P \ue8a0 [ t \u2265 t ON ] \u00b7 ( m + e \u00b7 t ON ) + \u222b t ON - t min t ON \ue89e p \ue8a0 ( t ) \u00b7 ( m + e \u00b7 t ) \ue89e \ue89e dt ++ \ue89e P \ue8a0 [ t < t ON - t min ] \u00b7 0 where:\n Inter-arrival time between two consecutive activity triggers be t \n Cost of transmitting a message be m \n Cost of energy per unit time be e \n Minimum time that light remains on after activity be t min  \n Turn-on time be t ON  \n Cost of the light consumed per activity trigger be r \n Inter-arrival probability density function be p(t).
