  • Timing synchronization for wireless networks
    Patent number: 9955443
    Abstract: A system for synchronizing nodes in a wireless network comprises a first node and a second node. The first node comprising a transmitter, a receiver, and a first time keeper. The second node comprising a transmitter, a receiver, a second time keeper, a timing error measurer for making a timing error measurement between the first time keeper and the second time keeper. The second timekeeper is adjusted to target minimizing the timing error measurement.

  • Determining path stability using source routed packets in wireless networks
    Patent number: 8830847
    Abstract: A system for determining path stability using source routed packets in a wireless network comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to select a source route on which to send one or more probing packets, wherein the source route includes a path between a first node and a second node and calculate a stability of the path based at least in part on a success or a failure location of each of the one or more probing packets. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide instructions to the processor.

  • Timing synchronization for wireless networks
    Patent number: 8699406
    Abstract: A system for maintaining synchronization of nodes in a wireless network comprises a child node and a parent node. The child node comprising a transmitter, a receiver, and a first time keeper. The parent node comprising a transmitter, a receiver, a second time keeper. The parent node receiver is active for a guardband and wherein the guardband is adjusted to maintain synchronization of the parent node with the child node.

  • Adaptive timing synchronization for mesh networks
    Patent number: 8194636
    Abstract: Timing synchronization for mesh networks is disclosed. A temperature calibration data is received. A plurality of previously stored calibration values each corresponding to different temperatures is adjusted based at least in part on the received temperature calibration data. A temperature measurement is received. A first clock offset is determined based at least in part on the adjusted plurality of previously stored calibration values and the temperature measurement.

  • Congestion control for wireless sensor networks
    Patent number: 8189479
    Abstract: A system for congestion control for a wireless sensor network comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to determine a level of congestion at one or more nodes and indicate an adjustment to network traffic in response to the level of congestion. The adjustment to the network traffic reduces the level of congestion at the one or more nodes. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide instructions to the processor.
