Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided the battery sensor for a large-scale battery system. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to the architecture and measurement scheme for a high-accuracy battery voltage sensor based on a calibration scheme. The present disclosure also related to the architecture and measurement method for a cell-level current sensor to effectively and reliably manage a battery pack.

Abstract: Method for data communication involves receiving with a radio receiver a data signal containing a plurality of data symbols. An analog to digital converter obtain a sample of the data signal at periodic intervals to define a sampling rate which is N times a symbol rate. Thereafter, at least one processing device allocates each sample obtained to a respective one of N sampled data streams in accordance with an allocation sequence, and repeats the allocation sequence after every N samples so that each of the N sampled data streams has a data stream symbol rate equal to the symbol rate. Thereafter, a plurality of data stream data sets defined by the N sampled data streams are validated. Once the validation is completed, a plurality of groups are determined, each comprised of two or more of the stream data sets which have been validated and are identical.

Abstract: A Wireless battery area network permits the wirelessly monitoring and controlling of individual batteries within large-scale battery applications. The system automatically configures its wireless nodes in the network and provides for the linking of a plurality of batteries (10) to a master battery management unit (M-BMU) (100) by establishing a wireless battery area network within a battery pack that include slave units (S-BMU) (210). The entire system may also be controlled by a top level battery management unit (T-BMU) (510). The system and method allows for the monitoring of voltage, current, temperature, or impedance of individual batteries and for the balancing or bypassing of a battery.
