Abstract
In one version, the system uses a mesh of wireless nodes that form a tree shaped network. One of the nodes is a root node that has a connection to an external network, with other network participants being chirp clients, and wireless network clients. The chirp clients are low cost devices that transmit short duration messages that are scheduled using a chirp scheduling technique. At least one wireless node of the tree shaped network is designated as chirp-aware and has a bridge between the short duration messages and IP based devices. The bridge includes a wireless receiver and is connected to the external network. All nodes other than the root node disregard the short duration messages using adaptive filtering. Each node has two logical radios and a service radio, the nodes' uplink and downlink operating on non-conflicting frequencies. Wireless network clients communicate with the nodes using the service radios.
