    Abstract: A method provides link management for wireless communication between measuring devices (7), installed to measure or detect a value at a utility installation, and a collection unit (5), collecting data from the measuring devices. Uplink data frames are sent from a measuring device to the data collection unit. Some of the uplink data frames are provide a time-limited access opportunity (AO) for receiving downlink frames from the data collection unit. A counter value (FC) in the measuring device is updated by adjusting the counter value for each non-used or unsuccessfully used access opportunity. An urgency indicator is transmitted to the data collection unit by at least some of the uplink data frames that provide an access opportunity. The urgency indicator depends on the counter value. Downlink frames are sent from the data collection unit to the measuring device according to a prioritization scheme, based on the urgency indicator.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a system for transmitting data messages which can be received by different types of receivers. A device and system are disclosed where data transmissions are based on data messages (2) comprising two parts, a first part (20) being encoded in accordance with a communication protocol, such as the wireless MBus protocol, and a second part (21) which comprises error-correcting information for enabling a receiver device to correct errors in the data message (2), such as parity information related to turbo coding. The first part (20) forms an independent sub data message which can be received independently of the content of the second part (21). The sub data message can be received as is within a first communication range (6), and the entire data message can by virtue of the error correction information, and subsequent error correction, be received within a second longer communication range (7).

    Abstract: A wireless communication link management method includes sending data in a primary uplink data frame from the measuring device (7) to the data collection unit (5) via a primary channel. After sending, the measuring device provides a time-limited primary access opportunity (AO) for receiving a link management downlink frame. A primary signal quality is evaluated. A secondary uplink frame is sent from the measuring device via a secondary channel. A time-limited secondary access opportunity for receiving a link management downlink frame is provided. Secondary signal qualities are evaluated. One among the primary access opportunity and the secondary access opportunities is selected for sending a link management downlink frame from the data collection unit to the measuring device depending on the signal qualities. The associated channel is used as the primary channel for sending data in a primary uplink data frame from the measuring device to the data collection unit.
