Claim 13:
14. An apparatus for providing a wireless asymmetric network architecture, comprising:
a memory for storing instructions;
one or more processing units to execute instructions to establish and control communications in the wireless asymmetric network architecture; and
radio frequency (RF) circuitry to transmit and receive communications in the wireless asymmetric network architecture, the RF circuitry to transmit communications to a 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 RF circuitry of the apparatus in the wireless asymmetric network architecture, wherein the one or more processing units are configured to receive a communication from a wireless device of a sensor node or from another apparatus 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 apparatus receiving the communication from the wireless device of the sensor node or from another apparatus to reduce power consumption of the wireless devices of the plurality of sensor nodes, wherein the apparatus is powered by a mains electrical source and the plurality of sensor nodes are each powered by a battery source to form the wireless asymmetric network architecture.
