EFFICIENT UNICAST SUPER FRAME COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17828895 titled 'EFFICIENT UNICAST SUPER FRAME COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicular battery management system (BMS) that includes a set of battery cells and a secondary network node connected to these cells.
- The secondary network node can wirelessly receive a specific type of data packet called a unicast downlink packet from a primary network node in a designated time slot.
- The unicast downlink packet is specifically addressed to the secondary network node.
- The secondary network node can also wirelessly transmit an uplink packet to the primary network node in a different time slot, in response to the received unicast downlink packet.
- This system allows for wireless communication between the primary and secondary network nodes, enabling efficient battery management in vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some examples, a vehicular battery management system (BMS) comprises a set of battery cells and a secondary network node coupled to the set of battery cells. The secondary network node is configured to wirelessly receive, in a first slot of a super frame, a unicast downlink packet from a primary network node, the unicast downlink packet addressed to the secondary network node. The secondary network node is also configured to wirelessly transmit, in a second slot of the super frame and responsive to the unicast downlink packet, an uplink packet to the primary network node.
