Abstract:
A sensor gateway manages wireless communications to sensors and the exchange of data between the sensors and a connection to the Internet. A sensor gateway processor runs the network and wireless stack, automatically picks the same channel as the home access point (AP), and runs sensor software to provide the sensors with low power, wireless support and deep sleep support. The sensor gateway selects same channel as the home AP by following the strongest beacon or by following the home AP service set identifier (SSID), in case more than one strong beacon is present. If the home AP and sensor gateway are placed close by and are on a different channel in 2.4G, there is destructive interference between the two devices. By using same channel on the sensor gateway as that of the home AP, both devices can coexist in same band without destructive interference.

Claim (Index 22):
A system comprising:\n a plurality of wireless sensor devices; a home access point (AP) or gateway device communicatively coupled to a backend connection; and a sensor gateway device configured to manage communications between the plurality of wireless sensor devices and the backend connection by:\n communicating wirelessly with the plurality of wireless sensors over a first channel of a plurality of channels of a communications band; \n exchanging information between the plurality of wireless sensors and the backend connection via the home AP or gateway, the home AP or gateway engaging in wireless communications within the communications band over a selected channel of the plurality of channels; \n determining a characteristic of a beacon frame; \n switching from the first channel to the selected channel when the characteristic of the beacon frame indicates that communication via the selected channel will be improved relative to communications via the first channel; and \n communicating via the same channel as the home AP or gateway thereby facilitating reduced communication interference between the sensor gateway and the home AP or gateway, the same channel being the selected channel.
