Method For Reducing Power Consumption In Node Devices Of A Condition Monitoring System

US Patent:
2013013, May 30, 2013
Filed:
Nov 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/306437
Inventors:
Dwayne Andrew Folden - Reno NV, US
Brandon James Rank - Minden NV, US
Benjamin Wayne Willis - Minden NV, US
Trevor Shaun Kavanaugh - Minden NV, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H04B 17/00
US Classification:
455 6711
Abstract:
This disclosure describes examples of condition monitoring systems with node devices that can adjust the power level of a radio. Embodiments of the node device can dynamically vary the power level for the radio in response to communication with other node devices. In one example, the node devices measure the strength of a signal received from the other node devices. The node devices can, in response to this value, vary the power level of the radio to optimize power consumption and extend the battery life for the node device.
