SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS WITH AN ASYMMETRIC NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

摘要

Systems and methods for implementing power management features while providing a wireless asymmetric network are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system includes a hub having a wireless control device that is configured to control communications and power consumption in the wireless asymmetric network architecture. The system also includes a plurality of nodes each having a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver (or transmitter and receiver functionality of a transceiver) to enable bi-directional communications with the wireless control device of the hub in the wireless asymmetric network architecture. The wireless control device can be configured to determine a scheduled timing of causing the transmitter to be operable to transmit and causing the receiver to be operable to receive for each wireless device to reduce power consumption of the wireless devices of the plurality of nodes.
