Abstract:
A network of nodes includes data nodes and at least one sink node to exchange packets between the sink node and the data nodes in a multi-hop manner. The data nodes include a battery powered node (BPN) having a transceiver, a memory, and a battery to provide energy to components of the BPN. The BPN includes a processor to determine a sleep schedule of the BPN independently from the sleep schedules of other data nodes and independently from commands transmitted by the sink node. The processor of the BPN switches the transceiver ON and OFF according to the sleep schedule to form an active period and a sleep period of the BPN. Also, the processor partitions at least part of the active period into a receiving (RX) period and a transmission (TX) period and causes the transceiver to transmit the data packets only during the TX period.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:\n determining a self-generation rate of generating new data packets by the BPN; determining an incoming rate of receiving new data packets by the BPN based on one or combination of a hop count of the BPN and a number of children nodes of the BPN; and determining a length of the active period based on a number of the data packets in the queue, the self-generation rate, the incoming rate, and a queue capacity.
