Abstract

A wireless remote telemetry system uses low-cost, low-power ad-hoc networks to provide flexible reading and control of remote devices. In an embodiment applicable to a utility service, consumption of electrical power among a population of customers is measured by a utility metering system having ad-hoc network communication capability. The remote metering unit transmits information over an ad-hoc network to one or more intermediate communication units or hops. The intermediate communication units or hops include a mobile unit, a mobile base unit, a subscriber home computer, and a home base unit. Each of these hops may co-exist in the same large-scale system. The intermediate communication units transfer the received information to a central controller through multi-hop ad-hoc networks or cellular networks, according to intelligent planning by the wireless infrastructure or the central unit.
