SENSOR NODE LOCATION-BASED POWER OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Sensor node location-based power consumption optimization employs an adjustable minimum detectable signal (MDS) level that is set based on a location of a sensor node relative to a location of a source of an event signal. The sensor node includes a sensor to respond to the event signal and an interface module to determine the sensor response to the event signal. The interface module has the adjustable MDS level and a power consumption that is a function of the adjustable MDS level. The adjustable MDS level is set to optimize power consumption.

1. A sensor node comprising:
a sensor to respond to an event signal; and an interface module to determine the sensor response to the event signal, the interface module having an adjustable minimum detectable signal (MDS) level and a power consumption that is a function of the adjustable MDS level, wherein the adjustable MDS level of the interface module is set based on a location of the sensor node relative to a location of a source of the event signal to optimize the power consumption.
