Abstract: A device including a plurality of antennas may sense or receive data related to a magnetic field. A strength of the magnetic field may be determined. Based on the strength of the magnetic field, a location or orientation of the device may be determined. The location of the device may be used to select an antenna from the plurality of antennas for transmitting data from the device or receiving data at the device. If the location of the device is associated with historical performance data, the historical performance data may be used to select an antenna from the plurality of antennas.

Abstract: Methods and systems are for managing congestion in a network of devices are disclosed. A method may comprise identifying one or more battery-operated devices. A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) for each battery-operated device may be determined. Based on the SNR and SIR of each battery-operated device, a battery loss using clear channel assessment (CCA) and a battery savings using CCA may be determined. A total battery savings may be compared to a total battery loss to determine that the total battery savings is greater than the total battery loss. Based on the determination that the total battery savings is greater than the total battery loss, a noise may be generated to block transmission from the one or more battery-operated devices.
