Harmonic transmission of data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by a data processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving over a power line, by a receiver, harmonic tones that represent data being communicated by a node that generated the harmonic tones;
identifying, by the data processing apparatus, data that are represented by the received harmonic tones, the data being identified based on a tone-event-key that specifies data strings and harmonic tones that represent the data strings; and
providing, by the data processing apparatus, the data that are represented by the received harmonic tones.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for communicating using harmonic tones. In one aspect, a method includes receiving harmonic tones that represent data being reported by a node that generated the harmonic tones; selecting data that are represented by each of the harmonic tones; and providing the data that are represented by the harmonic tones.

10. A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by a data processing apparatus causes the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving over a power line, by a receiver, harmonic tones that represent data being communicated by a node that generated the harmonic tones; identifying, by the data processing apparatus, data that are represented by the received harmonic tones, the data being identified based on a tone-event-key that specifies data strings and harmonic tones that represent the data strings; and providing, by the data processing apparatus, the data that are represented by the received harmonic tones.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a plurality of nodes implemented in a power-line communication network; and a data processing apparatus that is configured to interact with the plurality of nodes, the data processing apparatus being further configured to perform operations including; receiving over a power line, by a receiver, harmonic tones that represent data being communicated by a node that generated the harmonic tones; identifying, by the data processing apparatus, data that are represented by the received harmonic tones, the data being identified based on a tone-event-key that specifies data strings and harmonic tones that represent the data strings; and providing, by the data processing apparatus, the data that are represented by the received harmonic tones. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
