US Patent:

20220360965, Nov 10, 2022

Filed:

May 7, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/314170

Inventors:

- Dallas TX, US
Ramanuja VEDANTHAM - Frisco TX, US
Jesus Daniel TORRES BARDALES - Plano TX, US

International Classification:

H04W 8/00
H04B 7/155
H04L 29/08
H04W 40/24

Abstract:

An integrated circuit for use in a wireless management system with a primary node and secondary nodes includes: a wireless transceiver; and a wireless management controller included with or coupled to the wireless transceiver. The wireless management controller is configured to: identify a first secondary node of the secondary nodes in communication with the primary node; identify a second secondary node of the secondary nodes not in communication with the primary node; and enable the first secondary node to operate as a proxy node that repeats downlink messages to or uplink messages from the second secondary node.

International Classification:

B60L 58/10

Abstract:

A vehicular battery management system (BMS) comprises a battery controller, a set of battery cells, a primary network node coupled to the battery controller, and a secondary network node coupled to the set of battery cells. The primary and secondary network nodes are configured to wirelessly communicate with each other using frames that share a common frame format. The frame format includes one or more bits and a status of the one or more bits indicates whether the secondary network node is to communicate with the primary network node on behalf of another secondary network node.

International Classification:

B60L 58/22
B60R 16/033
B60L 50/60
H01M 10/44

Abstract:

In examples, a vehicular battery management system (BMS) comprises a set of battery cells and a secondary network node coupled to the set of battery cells. The secondary network node is configured to measure a parameter in the set of battery cells and generate a packet containing the parameter. The packet indicates a number of super frame slots that have elapsed from a start time of a super frame to the generation of the packet. The secondary network node is configured to wirelessly transmit the packet within the super frame to a primary network node. The primary network node is configured to wirelessly receive the packet and to determine a time at which the secondary network node generated the packet based on the indication, a time duration of each slot in the super frame, and the start time of the super frame.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00
G01R 31/382
G01R 31/396
H02J 50/12

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are described for a wireless battery system. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the instructions to identify a first battery node to transmit an uplink command during a first superframe interval, transmit a downlink command to the first battery node and a second battery node, the first battery node to switch in the first superframe interval from a receive state to a transmit state in response to the downlink command, the first battery node to transmit the uplink command in the transmit state, and receive the uplink command from the first battery node in the first superframe interval.
