  • Patent number: 8488503
    Abstract: A magnetic field communication method is provided for managing node with low power consumption which enhances performance and efficiency of a magnetic field area network in the low frequency region. The magnetic field communication method for managing node with low power consumption of the present invention is accomplished in a low-frequency wireless network that is comprised of a MFAN-C and at least one MFAN-N wherein a physical layer is comprised of a preamble, a header, and a payload, and the preamble is comprised of a wake-up sequence and a synchronization sequence. The wake-up sequence is only added to the preamble of the frame that is transmitted from the MFAN-C when the MFAN-N is being activated from the hibernation mode. The wake-up sequence is modulated using ASK modulation, and the synchronization sequence is modulated using BPSK modulation.
