Abstract: A wireless network with coordinated sectors to mitigate interference. An example of the network includes a plurality of antennas each having a directional gain pattern, at least one antenna located at a first access point and at least one antenna located at a second access point spaced apart from the first access point, at least one antenna at the first access point oriented with maximum gain in a first direction that defines as first sector and at least one antenna at the second access point oriented with maximum gain in a second direction that defines a second sector, and at least one transceiver coupled to the antennas In sequence any antennas oriented in the first sector separately from any antennas oriented in the second sector.

Abstract: A technology is provided for compressing digital discrete node data to reduce overall power consumption. Node data can be represented by a plurality of data units with a specified data width and can also be viewed as a plurality of bit planes corresponding to data at each bit position for the data units. A threshold bit position value may be selected for data units using an achievable compressibility estimate relative to an estimated energy consumption. The threshold bit position value can represent a boundary where an estimated energy consumption for compressing and transmitting a bit plane is less than an estimated energy consumption for transmitting the bit plane uncompressed. A bit plane is selected in the plurality of bit planes with a bit position value greater than the threshold bit position value. The bit plane is compressed using a compressor in the networked node.

Abstract: A first node receives aggregated compressed data and unaggregated data from a second node in a wireless multi-hop network. The first node compresses its own collected data based on the received unaggregated data. The first node aggregates its own compressed data with the aggregated compressed data received from the second node. The first node forwards an unaggregated version of its own collected data along with aggregated compressed data to a next hop in the wireless multi-hop network.
