Systems and methods for providing communications with an improved network frame structure architecture within wireless sensor networks

Systems and methods for providing communications with an improved network frame structure within wireless sensor networks are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system includes a hub having one or more processing units and RF circuitry for transmitting and receiving communications in a wireless network architecture. The system also includes a plurality of sensor nodes each having a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver to enable bi-directional communications with the hub in the wireless network architecture. The one or more processing units of the hub are configured to execute instructions to cause a change from a first power mode of a receiver of a sensor node to a second power mode upon transmitting notifications to the sensor node during a repeated hub broadcasting time slot.
