MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641062255 A) filed by Vallurupalli Nageswara Rao Vignana Jyothi Institute Of Engineering And Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on May 16, for 'hybrid ble-lora infrastructure-independent communication system for long-range iot messaging without internet or gateways.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Srinivas Kanakala; Dr. A Brahmananda Reddy; Akula Chetan Krishna Sai; Amaraboina Badhri; Arisenapally Ananya; and Murala Venkata Siva Surya.

The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a hybrid wireless communication system enabling infrastructure-independent long-range data transmission. The system comprises a plurality of autonomous nodes, each integrating a microcontroller, a LoRa transceiver, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface, and a power management module on a compact hardware platform. A user device communicates with a node via BLE, and the node transmits data over LoRa to other nodes in a multi-hop manner. Within each node, the message is selectively retransmitted in accordance with several criteria such as maximum hop count, distance-based filtering. The invention also provides mechanisms for duplicate filtering utilizing message-ID's, randomly timed retransmissions and channel sensing to reduce repeated message transmission and collisions. The invention can form and heal itself without outside assistance or network infrastructure, thus it is suitable for remote, off-grid, disaster throughout environments."
