  • Publication number: 20180343664
    Abstract: A method and device for wireless data transmission are described. A device receives sets of sensor data associated with respective sensor measurements for a vehicle. The device determines a priority for each of the sets of sensor data based on an amount of data stored for that sensor measurement in a number of data queues, and selectively stores each of the sets of sensor data in one of the data queues based on a threshold data throughput rate of a wireless network and the priority of each set of sensor data. The device transmits, to a second computing device via the wireless network, at least some of the sets of sensor data from the data queues based on a current data throughput rate of the wireless network and a priority level of each of the data queues.

  • Patent number: 9801202
    Abstract: A system and method for charging a wireless device is described. A charging apparatus includes a power delivery circuit to provide power to the wireless device and a wireless radio to communicate wirelessly with the wireless device. For example, the information about the wireless device may include at least a device type. The charging apparatus further includes a controller to receive information about the wireless device via the wireless radio and to control an amount of current provided by the power delivery circuit, when powering the wireless device, based at least in part on the received information. For example, the controller may determine that the device type is one of a plurality of recognized device types and subsequently enable the power delivery circuit to provide an amount of current to the wireless device that is optimized for the device type.
