COMMUNICATIONS AND SYSTEMS UTILIZING COMMON DESIGNATION NETWORKING
First Claim
1. A method for selective wireless communications by a wireless two-way radio frequency data communications device, comprising the steps of:
- (a) storing, in memory of the wireless two-way radio frequency data communications device, a common designation of the wireless two-way radio frequency data communications device; and
(b) filtering, by the wireless two-way radio frequency data communications device, a wireless communication received by it for an identification of its common designation within the communication, and(i) processing the communication if an identification of its common designation is found therein, and(ii) not processing the communication if an identification of its common designation is not found therein;
(c) wherein the wireless two-way radio frequency data communications device comprises a data packet radio device.

Abstract
A method of forming ad hoc RSI hierarchical communication networks among pluralities of wireless transceivers includes assigning to each of the transceivers one or more common designations. A network organization routine of the transceivers operates to establish hierarchical networks based on the transceivers'"'"' common designations, resulting in a logical network organization that provides efficiencies for acquiring information from particular transceivers that share a common designation. Each transceiver'"'"'s common designation is used by a digital processor of the transceiver to selectively receive data packets that are intended for receipt by transceivers sharing the particular common designation. Such a “common designation” network reduces power consumption and signal interference thereby increasing battery life. Each transceiver may include a sensor interface a query handling routine in communication with a memory of the transceiver for serving as a dynamic distributed hierarchical database system of information such as, for example, sensor-derived information and time-sensitive information.

8. A wireless data communications network, comprising:
-
(a) a plurality of wireless two-way radio frequency data communications devices, each wireless two-way radio frequency data communications device forming a node of the wireless data communications network and each wireless two-way radio frequency data communications device including a memory having stored therein at least one common designation of the respective wireless two-way radio frequency data communications device; (b) wherein each wireless two-way radio frequency data communications devices is adapted to filter a wireless communication received by it for an identification of at least one of its common designations within the communication, and (i) processing the communication if an identification of its common designation is found therein, and (ii) not processing the communication if an identification of its common designation is not found therein whereby the wireless data communications network formed by the wireless two-way radio frequency data communication devices is distinguished and separated from other proximate wireless data communications networks. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
