WIRELESS MANAGEMENT OF MODULAR SUBSYSTEMS WITH PROXY NODE OPTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232451 titled 'WIRELESS MANAGEMENT OF MODULAR SUBSYSTEMS WITH PROXY NODE OPTIONS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an integrated circuit designed for a wireless management system. - The system consists of a primary node and multiple secondary nodes. - The integrated circuit includes a wireless transceiver and a wireless management controller. - The wireless management controller is responsible for managing the communication between the primary node and the secondary nodes. - The controller can identify a specific secondary node that is in communication with the primary node. - It can also identify another secondary node that is not in communication with the primary node. - The controller enables the first secondary node to act as a proxy node. - The proxy node can repeat downlink messages from the primary node to the second secondary node. - It can also repeat uplink messages from the second secondary node to the primary node. - This innovation allows for improved communication and coverage within the wireless management system.
Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit for use in a wireless management system with a primary node and secondary nodes includes: a wireless transceiver; and a wireless management controller included with or coupled to the wireless transceiver. The wireless management controller is configured to: identify a first secondary node of the secondary nodes in communication with the primary node; identify a second secondary node of the secondary nodes not in communication with the primary node; and enable the first secondary node to operate as a proxy node that repeats downlink messages to or uplink messages from the second secondary node.
