Transmission and reception of signals in a time synchronized wireless sensor actuator network
First Claim
1. In a wireless sensor actuator network, a method comprising:
- determining a time slot for transmission of a signal to a first device and a second device in the wireless sensor actuator network, wherein the first device is different from the second device; and
during the time slot, transmitting in parallel the signal (i) via a first frequency channel and first antenna to the first device and (ii) via a second frequency channel and second antenna to the second device;
wherein the first frequency channel is different from the second frequency channel; and
wherein the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel are selected based on a power level to transmit the signal to the first device, a power level to transmit the signal to the second device, an angle to transmit the signal to the first device, and an angle to transmit the signal to the second device.

Abstract
In a wireless sensor actuator network, a time slot for transmission of a signal to a first device and a second device of the wireless sensor actuator network may be determined. During the time slot, the signal may be transmitted via a first frequency channel and first antenna to the first device and via a second frequency channel and second antenna to the second device in parallel. The first frequency channel may be different from the second frequency channel. Further, the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel may be selected based on a power level to transmit the signal to the first device, a power level to transmit the signal to the second device, an angle to transmit the signal to the first device, and an angle to transmit the signal to the second device.
