摘要:
A method of reducing an energy consumption of a wireless network, the method including periodically entering a sleep mode by a receiver node, broadcasting a signal simultaneously across a wide band frequency range, upon waking up from the sleep mode, listening by the receiver node to only a first narrow part of the wide band frequency range, the receiver node subsequently either returning to sleep if a signal strength of the broadcasted signal is less than a predefined signal strength threshold, or staying awake for an additional period of time if the signal strength of the broadcasted signal is greater than the predefined signal strength threshold.

In a system and method for controlled user tracking, a mobile device is provided for transmitting an identification signal, and a reader unit, which is statically located at a location, is provided for receiving the identification signal and transmitting to a surveillance control unit, in response to receipt of the identification signal, either the received identification signal or another signal that identifies the mobile device, for logging by the surveillance control unit of a presence of the mobile device at the location, where the mobile device and/or the reader unit is configured to transmit at least one surveillance control message for control of surveillance at the location.

A system and method for operating a wireless network provides for sending a wakeup tone, periodically waking up from a sleep mode to listen for the wakeup tone, upon receiving the wakeup tone, listening for at least one second tone, the at least one second tone being one of (i) a tone in a frequency different from the wakeup tone and (ii) a pattern of tones including at least one frequency different from the wakeup tone, and upon receiving the at least one second tone, performing an action based on the at least one second tone.

摘要:
A method and system for adaptively monitoring a communication link of a wireless sensor network, which includes measuring a quality of the communications link at a beginning of the monitoring period and at an end of the monitoring period, decreasing the monitoring period if a change in the quality of the communication link measured at the beginning and end of the monitoring period exceeds a predefined threshold value, and increasing the monitoring period if the measured quality is essentially the same at the beginning and end of the monitoring period.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
A method and system for determining a location of at least one stationary node of a wireless network, which includes providing a predetermined path within a geographic space of the wireless network, prior to localization, moving a mobile node along the predetermined path, measuring a network parameter with respect to the mobile node as it moves along the predetermined path, and performing a localization scheme to estimate the location of the at least one stationary node using the measured network parameter.
