Abstract
According to one embodiment, a system for hybrid communication between electronic circuits is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of sensor nodes configured to read data from one or more sensors. The system also includes a master node configured to receive periodic data transmissions from each of the plurality of sensor nodes via a primary transmission medium and a secondary transmission medium, which is different from the primary transmission medium.
Claims10
A method for hybrid communication between battery sensor nodes of a battery management system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a master battery sensor node, first data from a particular battery sensor node of one or more battery sensor nodes via a primary transmission medium;
- receiving, by the master battery sensor node, second data from the particular battery sensor node of the one or more battery sensor nodes via a secondary transmission medium different from the primary transmission medium;
- reconciling, by the master battery sensor node, the first data from the primary transmission medium and the second data from the secondary transmission medium;
- and
- wherein the master battery sensor node is configured to receive data from the particular battery sensor node via the primary transmission medium and the secondary transmission medium during a same update cycle.
A method for hybrid wireless communication between battery sensor nodes of a battery management system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a master battery sensor node, first data from one of one or more battery sensor nodes via a primary wireless transmission medium;
- receiving, by the master battery sensor node via a secondary wireless transmission medium different from the primary wireless transmission medium, second data from a deputy battery sensor node coupled to the one of the one or more battery sensor nodes, wherein the second data is received during a same update cycle as receiving data via the primary wireless transmission medium;
- and
- reconciling, by the master battery sensor node, the first data from the primary wireless transmission medium and the second data from the deputy battery sensor node.
