  • Patent number: 9883323
    Abstract: A WSN has multiple sensor nodes, a bi-directional gateway sensor node, and a server. The WSN also includes circuitry configured to process a route request message from an origination sensor node to a destination sensor node. A message packet of each of the sensor nodes includes a minimum energy field, a minimum energy harvesting rate field, and a sum of energy field. The circuitry is also configured to determine a new delivery route based upon comparing a minimum energy and a minimum energy harvesting rate of an instant sensor node with a minimum energy and a minimum energy harvesting rate contained in the message packet, and select a lower minimum energy and a lower minimum energy harvesting rate from the instant sensor node or the message packet. The circuitry is also configured to broadcast the lower minimum energy and the lower minimum energy harvesting rate throughout the WSN.

  • Patent number: 9848345
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a WSN having sensor nodes that are configured with electronic circuitry for interfacing with one or more associated sensors. The WSN also includes a gateway sensor node configured to receive sensor data from and forward instructions to the one or more sensor nodes, and a server configured to control the WSN in combination with the gateway sensor node. The WSN also includes circuitry configured to recognize a link break within a data communication route of the WSN via a routing protocol, and buffer incoming packets from a source node. The circuitry is also configured to propagate a RERR message of the link break to the plurality of sensor nodes, and build a bypass route around the link break of the data communication route towards a destination node. The circuitry is also configured to send the buffered incoming packets to the destination node through the bypass route.
