Claim 0:
1. A system for providing a wireless asymmetric network architecture, comprising:
a first hub having a wireless control device that is configured to control communications and power consumption in the wireless asymmetric network architecture; and
a first plurality of sensor nodes each having at least one sensor and a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver to enable bi-directional communications with the wireless control device of the first hub in the wireless asymmetric network architecture, wherein the wireless control device is configured to receive a communication from a wireless device of a sensor node or from a second hub and to determine a scheduled timing of operating each sensor node at a communicative state during a transmit window for transmitting communications of the sensor node, to determine a timing separation of transmit and receive windows of the sensor node at a low-energy non-communicative state after the transmit window and prior to the receive window of the sensor node, and to determine at the communicative state the separate receive window for the sensor node for receiving communications based on a timing of the first hub receiving the communication from the wireless device of the sensor node or from the second hub to reduce power consumption of the wireless devices of the first plurality of sensor nodes, wherein the first hub is powered by a mains electrical source and the first plurality of sensor nodes are each powered by a battery source to form the wireless asymmetric network architecture.
