  • Patent number: 10560340
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a position of a routing node and terminal equipment where the method includes: generating a connection relationship among sensor nodes, a gateway node and deployable routing nodes according to network deployment information and a link quality model related to a deployment environment; and calculating a shortest path from each sensor node to the gateway node according to the connection relationship, and determining deployable positions of routing nodes on the shortest path as positions of the routing nodes. With the embodiments of this disclosure, in selecting a position of a routing node, an effect of a deployment environment and limit of a deployment position are taken into account, thereby obtaining a routing node deployment scheme satisfying a practical environment and ensuring network data transmission performance.

  • Patent number: 10433233
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a position of a routing node and terminal equipment. Where the method includes: generating a 0-th generation routing node deployment scheme set according to a link connection relationship among sensor nodes, a gateway node and deployable routing nodes in a network; calculating a fitness of each routing node deployment scheme in a j-th generation routing node deployment scheme set; processing the j-th generation routing node deployment scheme set according to the fitness; and selecting a routing node deployment scheme from the routing node deployment scheme set satisfying the predetermined condition. In determining a position of a routing node, optimizing the number of routing nodes and optimizing routing paths are both taken into account, thereby obtaining a routing node deployment scheme with minimum routing nodes and which can also ensure data transmission performance of the network.

  • Publication number: 20180159662
    Abstract: A data transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving a group information packet by a sensor node in a target monitoring area, the group information packet comprising group identification information and a group node sequence; and joining in a relevant node group indicated by the group identification information or taking a relevant node group indicated by the group identification information as a candidate group and saving the candidate group by the sensor node according to the received group information packet. Hence, sensor data may be guaranteed to be completely transmitted to a target node.

  • Publication number: 20170280371
    Abstract: An auxiliary apparatus for wireless network deployment, portable terminal and method for wireless network deployment. The apparatus includes: a transmitting unit configured to broadcast a link detection request; a collecting unit configured to collect link detection responses received within a predetermined time; a first determining unit configured to, taking nodes transmitting the link detection response as reference nodes, determine a target reference node and non-target reference nodes of the apparatus; a second determining unit configured to determine a link connection status of the apparatus relative to each reference node according to the link detection responses; and a third determining unit configured to determine a movement direction and distance of the apparatus according to the link connection status of the apparatus relative to each reference node. Hence, personnel of wireless network deployment are assisted in a practical deployment scenario in precisely deploying nodes in the wireless network.
