Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling thermal properties of a node. The method steps include calculating, using a temperature reading, a transmission duty cycle of the node, calculating a data amount capable of being transmitted with the transmission duty cycle, and transmitting, from a network interface of the node, a plurality of available data at a rate less than the data amount based on a priority of the plurality of available data.
Claims20
A method for controlling thermal properties of a node, comprising:
- calculating, using a temperature reading, a transmission duty cycle of the node, wherein the transmission duty cycle is a measure of transmission time relative to idle time of the node;
- calculating a data amount capable of being transmitted with the transmission duty cycle;
- and
- transmitting, from a network interface of the node, a plurality of available data at a rate less than the data amount based on a priority of the plurality of available data.
A system for controlling thermal properties of a node, comprising:
- a transmission network;
- and
- a server and the node operatively connected to the server via the transmission network, wherein the node comprises a first processor configured to:
- calculate, using a temperature reading, a transmission duty cycle of the node, wherein the transmission duty cycle is a measure of transmission time relative to idle time of the node;
- calculate a data amount capable of being transmitted with the transmission duty cycle;
- and
- transmit, from a network interface of the node, a plurality of available data at a rate less than the data amount based on a priority of the plurality of the available data.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, causes the one or more hardware processors to perform operations to:
- calculate, using a temperature reading, a transmission duty cycle of the node, wherein the transmission duty cycle is a measure of transmission time relative to idle time of the node;
- calculate a data amount capable of being transmitted with the transmission duty cycle;
- and
- transmit, from a network interface of the node, a plurality of available data at a rate less than
- the data amount based on the priority of the plurality of the available data.
