摘要： A sensor network having a first command center and a first access node, comprising a wireless transceiver, coupled to the command center. The sensor network may also include a plurality of nodes individually comprising a wireless transceiver and a directional antenna, wherein each of the plurality of nodes is successively located in a downlink direction relative to the first access node, and is configured to wirelessly communicate via the directional antenna with at least one node of a first neighbor group in a first direction and at least one node of a second neighbor group in a second direction. In addition, a sensor device is individually coupled to at least one of the nodes, and is configured to provide sensor data for the first command center.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for communicating between a host and a peripheral. In one embodiment, a method comprises the steps: establishing, in a manner transparent to the host, a wireless data link between a wireless hub device and a wireless peripheral device coupled to the peripheral, the wireless hub device coupled to and configured to communicate with the host, wherein the host is configured to communicate with peripheral devices over a wireline link at a plurality of data rates when connected via the wireline link; and controlling a flow of data between the host and the wireless hub device so that the host is unaware of the wireless data link, wherein the data is to be communicated between the host and the peripheral.
