3. CellMesh network and devices CellMesh is a wireless self-organizing network consisted of microcells; it carries a very strong

derivative characteristic and has a full-featured mesh structure. CellMesh has diverse

structure, distinctive hierarchy and simple network establishment logic. There is an information

collection center in every cell to form information convergence by utilizing point to multi-point

route and mesh network route. Varies geographic areas can be covered seamlessly according

to the known Cellular coverage principle. The network can either form a wireless mesh

network within a single cell by itself or quickly derivate a network covering a certain area to

form Wide Area Network

CellMesh is consisted of center node named CAC and slave nodes named DAU. CAC starts a

cell network establishment, maintains and manages the network. In a CellMesh network, DAU

node acts as data access point as well as router. DAU is responsible for data collection, and

uploads the data to CAC. Communication distance between CAC and DAU can reach a 2000

meters’ diameter coverage by seven hops relaying, hence to realize 100% collection and full

coverage.

CellMesh network topology:


There are multiple routes to reach destination, when one route is blocked, a second route will

be selected automatically, guaranteeing the net link.

Installing and commissioning are very easy since the networking is automatically

accomplished and optimized. Large-scale network extension and derivative also become

simple.

More than 10 million CellMesh communication nodes have been deployed all around the world,

including remote metering, data monitoring, smart home, security system, oilfield information

collection, streetlight control and so on.

L-CellMesh network

L-CellMesh is derived from our famous CellMesh network with an ultra-low power

management technology to support battery-powered devices.

L-CellMesh advanced power management technology, using synchronous sleep mode and

Energy-budget method that can maximize the battery life of the node.

Communication node works in breathing mode, data communications have a high-speed

wake up, low-speed communication mechanism, which reduces data transmission time while

increase the wake-up speed. After wake-up, using low-speed communication to ensure the

reliability of data transmission , reducing the number of data exchange , to ensure power

saving .

With full network synchronization breathing mechanism, all node are at random status initially.

After network established, CAC will let the whole network timing synchronized. All nodes within

the same network will be in sleep mode at the same time and the same for wake-up mode and

there is a neighbor node compensation algorithm to guarantee it , which make the

communication between node more convenient and timesaving, it also enable the direct

communication without wakening to reduce data transmission and current consumption. In the

communication process, the node also has self-adjusting function, improving the efficiency of

the system.

Effective energy-budget management. In the entire L-CellMesh network, the remaining energy

of each node will be different; CAC central node will analyze all the remaining energy of each

node when calculating the relay path, choose the best path as well as the highest energy path,

avoid using some key LDAU router point excessively. This enables a balance in power

consumption to increase the average lifetime of batteries.
