Embodiment Construction

[0014] The present disclosure provides a method for balancing sensors within a sensor system, the method comprising: receiving data at a gateway from a plurality of sensors, each sensor of the plurality of sensors being connected to one of a plurality of sensor modules a sensor module or gateway; determining at the gateway that signal strength (or other measurement) from a first sensor, the first sensor being one of the plurality of sensors, falls below a threshold; and based on the determination, assigning the first sensor as Connected to a different one of the plurality of sensor modules, or if connected to one of the plurality of sensor modules, to the gateway.

[0015] The present disclosure also provides a gateway for balancing sensors within a sensor system, the gateway comprising: a processor; and a communication subsystem, wherein the gateway is configured to: receive data from a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors sensors are connected to a sensor m...

Abstract

A method for balancing sensors within a sensor system, the method including receiving, at a gateway, data from a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors being connected to one of a plurality of sensor modules or the gateway; determining, at the gateway, that a signal strength from a first sensor falls below a threshold, the first sensor being one of the plurality of sensors; and based on the determining, allocating the first sensor to connect to a different one of the plurality of sensor modules, or to the gateway if connected to one of the plurality of sensor modules.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to sensor networks, and in particular to configuration and reconfiguration of sensors within a sensor network. Background technique [0002] Automotive sensors provide information or alerts when equipment needs maintenance. For example, such sensors may include tire pressure monitoring, wheel bearings, weight distribution, fuel status, temperature, humidity, and other such sensors. [0003] Sensors can be wired or wireless. In some cases, wired sensors may be connected to a common bus, such as a Control Area Network (CAN) bus. Additionally, wireless sensors, including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), are increasingly becoming a simple, inexpensive alternative to wired sensors and are easy to install in vehicles or trailers. [0004] However, when a vehicle system has multiple sensors, such sensors can be difficult to properly provision within the vehicle, and further it can be difficult to balance communications within such...
