  • Patent number: 11956694
    Abstract: A gateway device for associating the gateway device and tracking sensors as single a cargo unit: the gateway device being associable with a cargo unit, said gateway device comprising: means to detect position or movement, and short-range wireless communication means for sending out a beacon signal and connecting with nodes, characterized in that the gateway device is arranged to detect which nodes are still in short-range communications range when change of position or movement is detected and associating the nodes that are still in range with as being part of the same cargo unit as the gateway device. Corresponding arrangement and method are also presented.

  • Publication number: 20230009721
    Abstract: An arrangement suitable for a mobile local wireless network includes: a gateway to facilitate a local short-range wireless network, to receive at least sensor measurement data via the short-range wireless network, and to be connected to an in-situ computing device; a computing device connected to the gateway, having a unit to obtain sensor measurement data via the gateway from sensor nodes; a sensor node transmitting measurement data via long-range wireless networks, and transmitting measurement data and receiving beacon signals via short-range communication. The gateway sends beacon signals. The sensor node receives a beacon signal and utilizes only the short-range wireless network for sending the measurement data, terminating transmission of data over long-range wireless networks for a period of time, in accordance with commands received from the gateway or as long as a beacon signal is detected at the sensor nodes. Corresponding gateway, method and computer-program product are also disclosed.
