1. A method of communicating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a data signal at an infrastructure node;
determining whether the data signal is configured for a first network, and, if so, routing data from the data signal to a destination node for the first network in accordance with rules for the first network;
if not;
determining whether the data signal is configured for a second network and, if so, routing data from the data signal to a destination node for the second network in accordance with rules for the second network.

Abstract
Methods and devices for operating a wireless network including redundant communication. Methods involving redundantly connected nodes are discussed including addressing methods and/or methods of creating groups for such redundant communication. The use of primary and secondary redundant connections is discussed. The inclusion of a redundant network in association with a non-redundant network such as a Zigbee® protocol network is discussed. Also, devices for implementing such methods are described.

10. A device configured for wireless communication, the device comprising:
-
a first transceiver; and
operational circuitry including a controller coupled to the first transceiver, the controller adapted for directing wireless communication by;
determining whether a first signal received by the device is directed to a first network and, if the first signal is directed to the first network, routing data from the first signal to a destination node for the first network; and
determining whether the first signal is directed to a second network and, if the first signal is directed to the second network, routing data from the first signal to a destination node for the second network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A wireless communications system comprising:
-
at least one data relaying node;
wherein;
the system is adapted to communicate with a first communication device configured to operate as part of a first network and a second communication device configured to operate as part of a second network;
the data relaying node is configured to communicate with each of the first communication device and the second communication device;
the data relaying node includes a first transceiver adapted to receive and send communications;
the data relaying node receives a first communication from the first communication device, recognizes that the first communication is from the first network, and treats the first communication in accordance with rules for data movement in the first network; and
the data relaying node receives a second communication from the second communication device, recognizes that the second communication is from the second network, and treats the second communication in accordance with rules for data movement in the second network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
