A method of acknowledged communication in a network includes transmitting a message to at least one node of the network, wherein the message is transmitted in each of a plurality of broadcast rounds that overlap one another according to a predetermined broadcast schedule, receiving the message by the at least one node, and transmitting an acknowledgement of the message from the at least one node, wherein the acknowledgement is transmitted in each of a plurality of collection rounds that overlap one another according to a predetermined collection schedule.

A wind turbine condition monitoring system and method are disclosed where the wind turbines include a tower, a gearbox coupled to the tower, and turbine blades coupled to the gearbox. The monitoring system includes blade sensors coupled to the blades, a hub node coupled to the gearbox and a controller. The controller is in communication with the hub node and blade sensors, and determines blade positions based on blade sensor readings. The blade sensors and hub node can include multi-axis accelerometers. The controller can wirelessly communicate with the blade sensors directly or through the hub node. Using position information, shadowing areas with obstructed communication can be avoided, node separation can be accounted for to reduce power requirements and/or interference from multiple transmitters can be avoided during node communications.

A method of handing off radio resources from a first base station to a second base station includes transmitting route information and speed information associated with a client device from the client device to the first base station or to an application server. A time is selected at which the radio resources are to be handed off from the first base station to the second base station. The selection is performed by the first base station or the application server. The selection is performed dependent upon the route information and speed information.
摘要:
A method for transmitting data from a sender node to a receiver node in a wireless network including (a) sampling a main network frequency and at least one backup frequency, (b) transmitting a message on the main network frequency without using a multiple access protocol, (c) transmitting the message on the main network frequency, using the multiple access protocol exchange, if an acknowledgement is not received, (d) transmitting the message on at least one backup frequency, using a multiple access protocol, if the main network frequency is busy after (c), (e) repeating (c) and (d) for a predefined number of time slots, until an acknowledgement is received, (f) transmitting the message on each backup frequency, using the multiple access protocol, until an acknowledgment is received, and (g) performing an exponential backoff and subsequent transmission of the message if an acknowledgement is still not received after (a) through (f).

A method and system to synchronize a first device and a second device includes generating a first tone by the first device, the first tone one of including an identity of the second device and generated at a predefined time, receiving the first tone by the second device, setting a clock of the second device based on the received first time, and sending an acknowledgment by the second device to the first device.
摘要:
A method for transmitting data from a sender node from among at least one sender node to a receiver node in a wireless network, the method including (a) sampling, by the receiver node, in each time slot, a main network frequency and at least one backup frequency, (b) transmitting, by the sender node, a message on the main network frequency in a first time slot, without using a multiple access protocol, (c) transmitting, by the sender node, the message on the main network frequency in a next time slot, using the multiple access protocol exchange, if an acknowledgement of the message is not received from the receiver node, (d) transmitting, by the sender node, the message on at least one backup frequency in the next time slot, using a multiple access protocol, if the main network frequency is busy after performing step (c), (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) for a predefined number of time slots, unless or until an acknowledgement is received from the receiver node, (f) transmitting, by the sender node, the message on each backup frequency, using the multiple access protocol, unless or until an acknowledgment is received from the receiver node, and (g) performing an exponential backoff and subsequent transmission of the message, by the sender node, if an acknowledgement is still not received from the receiver node after performing steps (a) through (f)
摘要:
An automotive communication method includes installing a sensor within a vehicle such that the sensor is submerged in a liquid during operation of the vehicle and/or substantially surrounded by a metallic structure during operation of the vehicle. A long wave magnetic signal is transmitted from the sensor. The signal is indicative of a condition sensed by the sensor. The signal is wirelessly received at a controller disposed within the vehicle. Receipt of the signal at the controller is responded to by adjusting a display and/or a setting within the vehicle.

A method and system to acknowledge a multicast message includes informing each node in a network about each multicast group to which it belongs, a relative position in each multicast group to which it belongs, and a group size of each multicast group to which it belongs, transmitting the multicast message, and transmitting, by each node in the multicast group, an acknowledgment in an assigned slot, which is determined by the relative position.

A method of operating a wind turbine includes providing a wind turbine having a plurality of blades. A respective sensor is attached to each of the blades. First measurements of a structural characteristic of each of the blades are repeatedly taken by use of the sensors. A tolerance band is established for the measurements. Signals indicative of the first measurements are wirelessly transmitted only if the first measurements are outside of the tolerance band. The transmitted signals are received at a controller. An actuator signal is sent from the controller to at least one actuator associated with the blades. The sending is in response to the receiving of the transmitted signals. At least one of the blades is actuated dependent upon the actuator signal. The actuating is performed by the at least one actuator. Second measurements of the structural characteristic of each of the blades are repeatedly taken by use of the sensors after the actuating step. The wirelessly transmitting, receiving, sending and actuating steps are repeated for the second measurements.
