The invention discloses a dual-mode star-flash water meter ad hoc
network communication method based on SLE + SLB, which overcomes the problems of low network coverage rate and poor
transmission quality of a
wireless intelligent meter reading network in the prior art, and comprises the following steps: a star-flash water meter terminal establishes connection with a
peripheral star-flash routing terminal by using an SLB mode; if not, establishing a connection with the
peripheral star flash routing terminal by using an SLE mode; if the connection cannot be established in the SLE mode, scanning other
peripheral satellite flash water meter nodes by using the SLE mode, acquiring equipment
list information of other
satellite flash nodes in a preset range, and establishing the connection; selecting a second star flash water meter node with the optimal
signal intensity in the connected equipment, and updating the equipment
list information of the star flash water meter node; and determining a communication mode according to the relationship between the
signal intensity of the
satellite flash water meter node and the
signal intensity of the second satellite flash water meter node. Three communication
modes can be realized, the network coverage rate is greatly improved, the network access success rate is improved, and the installation and maintenance cost is reduced.
