Abstract
A distributed remote sensing system including at least one gateway, at least one sensing device and a communication interface providing radio frequency communication through a shared frequency scheme between each sensing device and one of the at least one gateway and between each sensing device and another of the at least one gateway through a different frequency scheme.
Claims20
A distributed remote sensing system comprising:
- at least one gateway;
- at least one sensing device;
- and
- a link providing radio frequency communication through a predetermined shared frequency scheme between each sensing device and one of the at least one gateway and between each sensing device and another of the at least one gateway through a different frequency of a different link, which different link is decoupled from the predetermined shared frequency scheme so that the different frequency of the different link is decoupled from the predetermined shared frequency scheme, wherein the at least one sensing device is configured to switch communication from the one of the at least one gateway to the another of the at least one gateway in response to an attribute of a communication with the one of the at least one gateway and the at least one sensing device is configured to initiate the switch in communication from the one of the at least one gateway to the another of the at least one gateway.

A method comprising:
- providing at least one gateway;
- providing at least one sensing device;
- communicating, through a predetermined shared frequency scheme of a radio frequency communication link, between each sensing device and one of the at least one gateway;
- communicating, through a different frequency of a different radio frequency communication link, between each sensing device and another of the at least one gateway, where the different frequency of the different radio frequency communication link is decoupled from the predetermined shared frequency scheme of the radio frequency communication link so that the different frequency of the different radio frequency communication link is decoupled from the predetermined shared frequency scheme;
- switching, with the at least one sensing device, communication from the one of the at least one gateway to the another of the at least one gateway in response to an attribute of a communication with the one of the at least one gateway;
- and
- initiating, with the at least one sensing device, the switch in communication from the one of the at least one gateway to the another of the at least one gateway.
