METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING AD-HOC MEMBERSHIP IN WIRELESS NETWORKS TO IMPROVE BATTERY LIFE
摘要
A method (100) and system (10) for controlling ad-hoc membership in wireless networks to improve battery life includes determining (102) the capabilities of each of the members of a network and upon launching an application at a member, determining (104) a profile of members of the network required to support the application. A master device (12) can optionally disassociate (106) from the slave devices surveyed until an application is launched having a profile requiring a particular slave device. The method can further include associating (108) the members of the network in the profile and temporarily disassociating (110) a remaining group of members of the network. At another step (112), the method can also assign a higher priority to the members meeting the profile and assign a lower priority to the members that are temporarily disassociated and thereby reduce a maintenance cycle by probing the lower priority members less frequently.
