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 10):
A mesh network system comprising:\n a plurality of motes of a backbone network, each of the plurality of the motes of the backbone network including a processor and a wireless transceiver configured for wireless communication with the backbone network; and a plurality of network manager devices communicatively connected to the plurality of motes of the backbone network and each of the plurality of network manager devices is configured to manage operation of an individual wireless mesh network including node devices of the individual wireless mesh network, wherein each of the plurality of motes of the backbone network is operative to receive timing information from respective ones of the plurality of network manager devices and transmit a clock offset correction and a drift rate correction to node devices managed by each of the plurality of network manager devices through the respective ones of the plurality of network manager devices to adjust a rate at which measurements are made at the node devices such that the node devices obtain measurements at respective times synchronized with each other based on the clock offset correction and the drift rate correction.
