First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for tracking an asset over a wireless network, the method comprising:
- collecting telemetry data associated with the asset;
generating an encoded message to represent the telemetry data in compressed form, wherein the encoded message has a variable length to store a change in the telemetry data; and
transmitting the encoded message over the wireless network.
