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 11):
A light-on-demand system which utilizes one or more communication protocols for which a cost is associated with at least one protocol; the light-on-demand system comprising:\n a plurality of light locations; and, a light management server configured to receive rates for communication for the one or more communication protocols and rates for light energy, determine a cost calculation function using the inputted parameters and a probability density function associated with the triggers, determine a light turn-on time value which minimizes the cost calculation function, wherein the cost calculation function includes determining whether the communication cost of transmitting a light turn-on time parameter message to one or more of the light locations is greater or less than an expected light energy cost of the one or more of the light locations, and modify the light turn-on time parameter based on the cost calculation function.
