- the autonomous sensor can send out a heartbeat signal when in the active state to notify the network that it is operational and ready to receive instructions or to pass along messages through the network.
- the autonomous sensor may identify nearby sensors in the environment and in the network. From the active state 306 , the autonomous sensor can enter the nomadic state 308 by arrow 318 if a neighboring sensor is detected, or may return to the dormant state 302 by arrow 320 if a time period has elapsed without detected a new neighboring sensor and all data needing to be sent has been transmitted.
- the autonomous sensor can assess adjacent sensors in the environment and the network.
- the autonomous sensor can observe the frequency and amount of transmitted data from the nearby sensor, can determine the class of data transmitted by the nearby sensor, and, in a wireless environment, may identify a direction and distant of the nearby sensor based on the direction, strength, and latency of an incoming transmission.
- the autonomous sensor may also determine the size and type of queue used by the nearby sensor, such as by how much data is transmitted and the frequency of event data vs non-event data.
- the autonomous sensor may determine a correlation with the nearby sensor.
- the autonomous sensor may synchronize the dormant and active state cycles with the nearby sensor, such as to avoid collisions in the network or to improve the network topology.
- the autonomous sensor may be a parent or child of a nearby sensor and synchronizing the active states of the two sensors may enable more efficient communication between the parent and child, rather than a sensor in an active state transmitting data to a parent sensor that is in a dormant state.
- the autonomous sensor can return to the active state 306 by arrow 322 after the autonomous sensor has been in the nomadic state for a period of time or has not identified any further nearby sensors to assess.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram 200 illustrating an exemplary network of sensors. A plurality ofsensors sensors -
Sensors 202 through 216 can form amesh network 218 by communicating with sensors in close proximity. For example,sensor 206 can communicate directly withsensors sensor 208 throughsensor mesh network 218 can provide a fault tolerant communication network to automatically adapt when a sensor goes off line. For example,sensor 212 may normally communicate withsensor 202 viasensor 206. Ifsensor 206 is not responding,sensor 212 could communicate withsensor 202 viasensor 204 until the connectivity ofsensor 206 is restored.Gateway 220 can communicate with thesensors 202 through 216, such as by way ofsensors Gateway 220 can provide an access point to a larger network to enable remote management of thesensors 202 through 216 and remote access to the information provided by the sensors. Additionally,gateway 220 can aggregate the information fromsensors 202 through 216 and provide the information to a cloud based platform or directly to remote devices. - In various embodiments, the
mesh network 218 may operate on one or more networking protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, ZigBee, X-10 or the like. In various embodiments themesh network 218 may operate on one or more networking protocol such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, ZigBee, X-10, or the like.Mesh networks 218 may also operate using one or more communication media such as radio frequency communication, dedicated hardwired networks, or embedded signals into existing power circuits. -
FIG. 3 is a state diagram 300 illustrating the operation of an autonomous sensor, such assensor 202 ofFIG. 2 . The autonomous sensor can operate in one of four states, adormant state 302, adiscovery state 304, anactive state 306, and anomadic state 308. - In the
dormant state 302, the autonomous sensor can go into a sleep mode. For example, the autonomous sensor can generally suspend network activity and throttle down processor activity. In various embodiments, the autonomous sensor can continue to monitor the local environment such as by continuing to take temperature readings, humidity readings, and the like. In other embodiments, the autonomous sensor may not readout the measurements of the local environment, but rather only sample the data when not in the dormant state. From thedormant state 302, when a predetermined time period has passed, the autonomous sensor may enter thediscovery state 304 byarrow 310 or theactive state 306 byarrow 312. - In the
discovery state 304, the autonomous sensor can check the status and determine if an event has occurred. For example, the autonomous sensor can sample the measurement data and determine if a change needs to be reported. For example, a parking sensor may check to see if a vehicle is present in a parking space and determine if there was a change in the status of the parking spot. From thediscovery state 304, if an event is not detected or has not occurred, the autonomous sensor may enter thedormant state 304 byarrow 314. Alternatively, if an event has occurred, the autonomous sensor can enter theactive state 306 byarrow 316. - In the
active state 306, the autonomous sensor can transmit data, such as the measurement data. In various embodiments, the autonomous sensor may transmit data at a periodic rate, such as reporting the temperature at regular intervals. In other embodiments, the autonomous sensor may transmit data when certain conditions are met, such as a change of status in the environment. Further, the autonomous sensor may receive and transmit data from nearby autonomous sensors. Additionally, the autonomous sensor may receive instructions from an administrator or user. The instructions can be for the autonomous sensor or can be passed along through the network to another autonomous sensor. In various embodiments, the autonomous sensor can send out a heartbeat signal when in the active state to notify the network that it is operational and ready to receive instructions or to pass along messages through the network. Additionally, while in theactive state 306, the autonomous sensor may identify nearby sensors in the environment and in the network. From theactive state 306, the autonomous sensor can enter thenomadic state 308 byarrow 318 if a neighboring sensor is detected, or may return to thedormant state 302 byarrow 320 if a time period has elapsed without detected a new neighboring sensor and all data needing to be sent has been transmitted. - In
nomadic state 308, the autonomous sensor can assess adjacent sensors in the environment and the network. The autonomous sensor can observe the frequency and amount of transmitted data from the nearby sensor, can determine the class of data transmitted by the nearby sensor, and, in a wireless environment, may identify a direction and distant of the nearby sensor based on the direction, strength, and latency of an incoming transmission. The autonomous sensor may also determine the size and type of queue used by the nearby sensor, such as by how much data is transmitted and the frequency of event data vs non-event data. In various embodiments, the autonomous sensor may determine a correlation with the nearby sensor. In various embodiments, the autonomous sensor may synchronize the dormant and active state cycles with the nearby sensor, such as to avoid collisions in the network or to improve the network topology. For example, the autonomous sensor may be a parent or child of a nearby sensor and synchronizing the active states of the two sensors may enable more efficient communication between the parent and child, rather than a sensor in an active state transmitting data to a parent sensor that is in a dormant state. From thenomadic state 308, the autonomous sensor can return to theactive state 306 byarrow 322 after the autonomous sensor has been in the nomadic state for a period of time or has not identified any further nearby sensors to assess. - While the computer-readable medium is shown to be a single medium, the term “computer-readable medium” includes a single medium or multiple media, such as a centralized or distributed database, and/or associated caches and servers that store one or more sets of instructions.
