ADDRESSING SCHEME FOR COMMUNICATING WITH SENSORS

An apparatus includes a sensor circuit and a wireless communication interface. The sensor circuit may periodically sense a value for a particular environmental variable. The wireless communication interface may update a dynamic address for the apparatus based on the periodically sensed value, and re...

Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus includes a sensor circuit and a wireless communication interface. The sensor circuit may periodically sense a value for a particular environmental variable. The wireless communication interface may update a dynamic address for the apparatus based on the periodically sensed value, and receive a query from a base station. The query may include a conditional address corresponding to the particular environmental variable. In response to a first comparison of the conditional address to a current dynamic address, the wireless communication interface may send a reply to the base station indicating whether the query has matched for the apparatus. The reply to the query may be performed without requesting a reading of the particular environmental variable from the sensor circuit.
