Abstract:
A mesh network system for measurement synchronization across networks is provided. The subject technology relates to measuring a timing error of each wireless mesh network relative to a backbone network, thereby tracking the difference in time between the networks. Devices of each mesh network initiate measurements at a time that is based on the measured timing error for that network. As such, the measurements can occur at a same time across the mesh networks. For example, a backbone network mote determines that a measurement is to be obtained at a particular rate, and the backbone network motes all agreed that the starting time is set to a common network time. The backbone network mote then measures a network manager and sends a message to the motes underneath that network manager providing a clock offset and time interval to the motes for adjusting a rate at which the measurements are obtained.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of synchronizing measurements across networks, comprising:\n receiving, by a mote of a backbone network, timing information from a network manager device of a wireless mesh network associated with the backbone network; determining, by the mote of the backbone network, a rate at which a clock of the network manager device is drifting in time relative to a backbone network time of the backbone network from the received timing information; and transmitting, by the mote of the backbone network, based on the determined rate, correction information to devices managed by the network manager device through the network manager device to adjust a rate at which measurements are made at the devices such that the devices obtain measurements at respective times synchronized with each other based on the correction information.
