RADIO FREQUENCY FOR CONSUMER ELECTRONICS BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- discovering one or more controller devices in a Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics (RF4CE) based radio communication network, wherein the RF4CE based radio communication network comprises one or more Consumer Electronics (CE) devices and the one or more controller devices for managing the one or more CE devices;
selecting one of the one or more controller devices based on capabilities of the one of the one or more controller devices; and
transmitting an RF4CE data packet including Machine to Machine (M2M) communication data to the selected one of the one or more controller devices over an RF4CE protocol such that the M2M communication data is forwarded to an intended external entity by the selected one of the one or more controller devices via a communication channel.
