摘要： A method for providing electronic communications between wireless nodes includes wirelessly transmitting data from a transmitting one of the nodes to a plurality of receiving ones of the nodes. A respective first acknowledgment tone is wirelessly transmitted from each of the receiving nodes to the transmitting node and to each other one of the receiving nodes. Each first acknowledgment tone is transmitted in response to the respective receiving node receiving the transmitted data. Each of the first acknowledgment tones is transmitted in a respective, unique time slot. At least one second acknowledgment tone is wirelessly transmitted from at least one of the nodes to each other one of the nodes. The second acknowledgment tone is transmitted dependent upon whether a group of received first acknowledgment tones matches a group of expected-to-be-received first acknowledgment tones.

摘要： A wireless transmission method includes providing a commanding node and a plurality of sub-networks. Each of the sub-networks includes at least one responding node. Time slots are assigned to the sub-networks such that time slots assigned to each sub-network are interleaved in time with time slots assigned to at least one other sub-network. Within each time slot, at least one acknowledgement packet is transmitted from the at least one responding node before a command packet is sent from the commanding node within the time slot. Each at least one acknowledgement packet indicates whether or not a most recent command packet from the commanding node was correctly received by the responding node.

摘要： A method for providing wireless communications between nodes of a vehicle includes providing a plurality of frequency channels on which the nodes of a first vehicle may wirelessly communicate. Wireless communication with a second vehicle adjacent to the first vehicle includes assigning a first of the frequency channels to the first vehicle for intra-vehicle transmissions within the first vehicle, and a second of the frequency channels to the second vehicle for intra-vehicle transmissions within the second vehicle. The first vehicle is prohibited from using the second frequency channel and the second vehicle is prohibited from using the first frequency channel.

摘要： An automotive electrical body system includes a plurality of electrical assemblies coupled to at least one automotive body component. Each of the assemblies includes a heating element for heating the at least one component, a motor for actuating the at least one component, or a switch configured to toggle the at least one component on and off. Each of the assemblies also includes a wireless communication module for receiving wireless signals, and, in response to the wireless signals, controlling operation of the heating element or motor. An electrical conductor interconnects each of the electrical assemblies and carries electrical power to each of the electrical assemblies.

摘要： A method for providing electronic communications between nodes of a vehicle includes electronically connecting a plurality of gateway nodes to one another via a wired backbone. A first and second of the gateway nodes are electronically connected to the wired backbone. A plurality of sub-network nodes are wirelessly communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of gateway nodes. A plurality of first sub-network nodes are wirelessly communicatively coupled to the first gateway node. A plurality of second sub-network nodes are wirelessly communicatively coupled to the second gateway node. A message is transmitted from a selected first sub-network node to a selected second sub-network node by using a data routing technique. The data routing technique includes the selected first sub-network node wirelessly transmitting the message to the first gateway node. The first gateway node receives the message and, in response thereto, the first gateway node broadcasts the message on the wired backbone. The second gateway node receives the message on the wired backbone and, in response thereto, the second gateway node wirelessly transmits the message to the selected second sub-network node.
