Abstract
A packet position modulation system includes a node configured to transmit a plurality of packets at corresponding time intervals. The node is configured to adjust, for at least one packet of the plurality of packets, the corresponding time interval to transmit the at least one packet. The system includes a base station configured to receive the plurality of packets from the node at corresponding time intervals, determine a difference between a previous time that a previous packet of the plurality of packets was received and a present time that a present packet of the plurality of packets was received, and recover coded data from the present packet based on the difference.
Claims20
A packet position modulation system comprising:
- a node configured to transmit a plurality of packets at corresponding time intervals, the node configured to adjust, for at least one packet of the plurality of packets, the corresponding time interval to transmit the at least one packet;
- and
- a base station configured to:
- receive the plurality of packets from the node at corresponding time intervals;
- determine a difference between a previous time that a previous packet of the plurality of packets was received and a present time that a present packet of the plurality of packets was received;
- and
- recover coded data from the present packet based on the difference.
A packet position modulation method comprising:
- transmitting, from a node, a plurality of packets at corresponding time intervals;
- adjusting, by the node, for a first packet of the plurality of packets, a first time interval that the first packet is transmitted;
- receiving, at a base station, the first packet of the plurality of packets from the node at the first time interval;
- determining a difference between a previous time that a previous packet of the plurality of packets was received and a present time that the first packet of the plurality of packets was received;
- and
- recovering coded data from the first packet based on the difference.
A packet position modulation system comprising:
- a node configured to transmit sensor data at corresponding time intervals, wherein the node includes a sensor and a transmit time device, wherein the transmit time device is configured to:
- receive sensor data from the sensor;
- determine a delay based on the sensor data and a remaining energy level;
- adjust the corresponding time interval based on the delay;
- and
- transmit the sensor data in accordance with the adjusted time interval;
- and
- a base station configured to receive sensor data from the node at the corresponding time interval, wherein the base station includes a memory coupled to a processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, upon execution, cause the processor to:
- determine an actual period between receiving previous sensor data and the sensor data;
- and
- calculate the sensor data based on the actual period.
