Abstract
A method of synchronising a plurality of aircraft tire monitoring devices, wherein the method includes providing a synchronisation signal, and synchronising the plurality of aircraft tire monitoring devices such that each of the plurality of aircraft tire monitoring devices is available to connect to a remote device in a same time interval.
Claims17
A method of synchronising a plurality of aircraft tire monitoring devices, the method comprising:
- providing a synchronisation signal with information indicating a feature of a time interval;
- and
- synchronising the plurality of aircraft tire monitoring devices, in response to the synchronisation signal, such that each of the plurality of aircraft tire monitoring devices is available to connect to the remote device during the time interval,
- wherein the synchronising includes causing each aircraft tire monitoring device in the plurality of aircraft monitor devices to listen for the connection request from the remote device throughout the time interval.
1 more element
An aircraft tire monitoring device configured to be mounted to an aircraft, the aircraft tire monitoring device comprising:
- a wireless communication interface configured to receive a synchronisation signal;
- and
- a processing system configured to schedule the wireless communication interface to be in an active state at a predetermined time for a predetermined duration based on the synchronisation signal, and wherein in the active state the aircraft tire monitoring device is available to connect to a remote device and the active state is contemporaneous with active states of other aircraft tire monitoring devices on the aircraft,
- wherein the synchronisation signal includes information pertaining to at least one of the predetermined time and the predetermined duration.
1 more element
An aircraft system comprising:
- a plurality of aircraft tire monitoring devices,
- wherein each of the aircraft tire monitoring devices of the plurality of aircraft tire monitoring devices are configured to receive a synchronisation signal with an instruction indicating a same time interval such that each of the aircraft tire monitoring devices are consequently configured to listen for a connection request from a remote device throughout the same time interval, and
- wherein the synchronisation signal includes information indicating a feature of the same time interval.
