Abstract:
1. A method for operating a wireless node, comprising: activating the wireless node in a start up state; automatically determining in the start up state a plurality of operating parameters for the wireless node; configuring the wireless node based on the operating parameters; activating a radio frequency (RF) system for the wireless node; transitioning the wireless node to a learning state; collecting operational data in the learning state and modifying the operating parameters based on the operational data; reconfiguring the wireless node based on the modified operating parameters; after reconfiguring the wireless node, transitioning the wireless node to a normal operating state in response to determining the operational data is within predefined parameters; and collecting operational data in the normal operating state and transitioning back to the learning state in response to determining the operational data is outside the predefined parameters.
