DYNAMIC FUNCTIONALITY PARTITIONING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting communication capabilities of a communications channel between a sensor node and a processing subsystem, the communications channel carrying a sensor data stream; and
adjusting allocation of functionality between the sensor node and the processing subsystem based on the detected communication capabilities, the adjusted functionality changing characteristics of data communicated in the sensor data stream.

Abstract
A sensor and processing system dynamically partitions functionality between various remote sensor nodes and a processing subsystem based on available communication capabilities. Redundant functionality is located at the processing subsystem and each of the various remote sensor nodes, and each sensor node coordinates with the processing subsystem to determine the location (e.g., at the processing subsystem or at the sensor node) at which a particular functionality is executed.
