SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING COMMUNICATIONS WITHIN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS BASED ON A PERIODIC BEACON SIGNAL

摘要

In one embodiment, a system includes a hub having one or more processing units and RF circuitry for transmitting and receiving communications in a wireless network architecture. The system includes a plurality of sensor nodes each having a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver to enable bi-directional communications with the hub in the wireless network architecture. The one or more processing units of the hub are configured to execute instructions to determine a first scheduled timing of causing the transmitter to be operable to transmit and causing the receiver to be operable to receive for each wireless device based on a periodic beacon signal of the hub.
