Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this architecture is that two communication technologies need to be implemented in the gateway: a first technology is used for wireless transceivers communicating on advanced communication networks, while a second different technology is used for wireless receivers whose Function is to get messages originating from a simple transmitter associated with it
The duplication of technology in this gateway essentially results in additional cost

Embodiment Construction

[0018] refer to figure 1 In the example shown in , the wireless communication system includes: a simple transmitter 20 , a communication gateway 10 and a remote communication device or node 30 . The gateway 10 communicates with the remote device 30 via the first wireless communication network 5 according to a first advanced communication protocol including a network access control function (MAC layer).

[0019] Furthermore, the gateway 10 communicates with the simple transmitter 20 via the second wireless communication network 6 according to a second simplified communication protocol that does not include a network access control function (MAC layer). For the sake of simplification, figure 1 Only a single simple transmitter 20 and a single remote node 30 are involved, but clearly the invention provides for the gateway 10 to communicate with multiple simple transmitters and multiple remote nodes.

[0020] Simple transmitter 20 may be a push button, radio frequency (RF) switch...

Abstract

The invention relates to a communication gateway comprising means for transmission ( 11 ) and means for reception ( 12 ) of messages in order to communicate with at least one remote node ( 30 ) on a first wireless communication network ( 5 ) according to a protocol which includes network access control. The reception means ( 12 ) are also capable of receiving messages originating from at least one simple transmitter ( 20 ) transmitting messages on a second wireless communication network ( 6 ) according to a protocol which does not include network access control, and the gateway ( 10 ) comprises a processing unit ( 15 ) which is capable of differentiating between received messages originating from the first network ( 5 ) and from the second network ( 6 ).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a communication system capable of exchanging messages using a wireless communication network, in particular a sensor / actuator network. Communication systems of this type can be found, for example, in sectors of activity like building automation (lighting control, heat control, etc.), industrial process automation and automatic meter reading (AMR). Background technique [0002] In the following, the term "advanced communication network" will be used to refer to any network whose communication protocol includes the ability to perform network access control (Media Access Control MAC layer). Network access control also includes the control of traffic between different devices (or communication nodes) connected to the network. For example, in advanced communication networks, protocols may provide monitoring mechanisms for sending prior to authorization, message retransmission mechanisms with "timeouts" and "acknowledgments". Due t...
