Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a network manager configured to wirelessly communicate with a plurality of wireless nodes of a wireless network. The network manager and at least one wireless node include a transceiver connected to transmit and receive wireless communication via an antenna. The network manager and/or the wireless node include a cognitive engine configured to receive information regarding an environment of the wireless network as input and, in response, generate configuration data as output. Subsequent communication on the wireless network is updated using the configuration data.

Abstract: A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells and a battery monitoring system configured to monitor one or more parameters of the plurality of battery cells. The battery module includes a processor configured to execute a battery monitoring script to generate a battery information payload defined by a battery information payload format. The battery module includes a radio configured to receive a container file including metadata defining the battery information payload format and the battery monitoring script; transmit the metadata to a service device; and transmit the battery information payload to the service device. A battery pack includes one or more battery modules and a wireless battery management system controller configured to: receive the battery information payload from each of the plurality of the battery modules; and provide aggregated battery information to a battery management controller of a host.

Abstract: A wireless communication system includes at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. The transmitter is configured to establish wireless link parameters and transmit a data communication using the wireless link parameters. The receiver is configured to receive the data communication, automatically identify one or more of the wireless link parameters using the data, and extract a payload using the identified wireless link parameters. Prior to receiving the data communication, the receiver requires limited information concerning the wireless link parameters established by the transmitter. The wireless link parameters can include selectable aspects such as one or more of a transmission channel, a transmission data rate, a modulation format, a transmission power, a packet format, and a channel coding scheme.

Abstract: A system and method for increasing capacity and throughput in a wireless network includes a plurality of wireless nodes configured to communicate wirelessly with one another on respective frequency channels according to a schedule. The schedule includes timeslots. For respective timeslots, first and second transmitting wireless nodes generate transmissions for a receiving wireless node. The receiving wireless node includes a receiver circuit configured to receive the transmissions from the first and the second transmitting wireless nodes simultaneously and on separate frequency channels, and a transmitter circuit configured to generate acknowledgment packets for the first and the second transmitting wireless nodes upon receipt of the transmissions by the receiving wireless node.
