  • Time reservation using adaptive control for energy efficiency
    Patent number: 7764706
    Abstract: A network, such as a radio network, uses dynamic transmission scheduling and soft clustering. When nodes contend for data slots, each node that is successful continues to have its data slot reserved for it until it sets an end-of-stream bit in an information summarization packet, indicating that it will stop broadcasting. From the information summarization packets, each node determines the other nodes to which it will listen, based on proximity and information content.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 2003
    Date of Patent: July 27, 2010
    Assignee: University of Rochester
    Inventors: Bulent Tavli, Wendi Heinzelman
  • Multi-hop time reservation using adaptive control for energy efficiency
    Patent number: 7411919
    Abstract: The present invention extends the TRACE (Time Reservation Using Adaptive Control for Energy Efficiency) protocol to allow multi-hop communication in dispersed radio networks. The nodes in the network are dynamically clustered based on proximity and interference level. Time is divided into superframes, each cluster choosing a frame within the superframe for data transmission to reduce the likelihood of interference.
