Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide for a method of transmitting state information using free-space optical communication. The method includes using one or more processors of a first communication device to collect state information of the first communication device. A supervisor signal that carries the state information is transmitted from the first communication device along with a beacon beam in a first solid angle. The supervisor signal is a frequency different from the one or more frequencies of the beacon beam. When a communication link is established between the first communication device and a second communication device, a plurality of data packets is transmitted from the first communication device to the second communication device in a second solid angle smaller than the first solid angle. A subset of the plurality of data packets that do not carry client data carries the state information of the first communication device.

Claim (Index 15):
A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable storage medium on which computer readable instructions of a program are stored, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:\n collecting state information of a first communication device; transmitting, using one or more transmitters of the first communication device, a beacon beam and a supervisor signal in a first solid angle, the supervisor signal carrying the state information; and transmitting, the one or more transmitters of the first communication device, a plurality of data packets to a second communication device in a second solid angle smaller than the first solid angle.
