METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCHEDULING TRANSMIT TIME SLOTS FOR NETWORK-CONNECTED MEASUREMENT UNITS

摘要

A method and a system for determining a transmit schemes of a network-connected measurement unit based on wireless network time-varying characteristic are provided herein. The method may include the following steps: receiving data from at least one sensor configured to measure at least one predefined metric of an infrastructure; establishing a wireless channel with a wireless network; obtaining time-varying characteristics of said wireless network; and determining a series of transmission time slots for transmitting said data received from said sensor, based on said time-varying characteristics, for reducing overall power consumption of the data transmission.

1. A method of reducing power consumption at a transmission node being a part of a wireless network, the method comprising:
obtaining by at least one transmission node, data from at least one sensor configured to measure at least one physical metric of an infrastructure system; establishing a wireless channel between said transmission node and a wireless network; obtaining, at said transmission node, time dependent parameters indicative of a power consumption of transmission of said obtained data by said at least one transmission node to said wireless channel; and determining a series of transmission time slots for transmitting said obtained data by said transmission node, based on said time-varying characteristics, for reducing the consumption caused by the data transmission by said transmission node.
