WIRELESS DATA ACQUISITION NETWORK AND OPERATING METHODS

摘要

A method of collecting data from wireless sensor units arranged in a network. The method may comprise the steps of initiating distribution of control signals to the wireless sensor units, acquiring data with the wireless sensor units by sensing one or more physical parameters, each of the wireless sensor units transmitting the acquired data in response to the control signals; and each of the wireless sensor units transmitting of at least a portion of the acquired data according to a prioritizing algorithm associated with each respective wireless sensor unit.
