A wireless parameter-sensing node in a network thereof, the parameter-sensing node includes: sensors to sample values of parameters, respectively; a memory; a collection engine configured to: selectively collect data representing at least some of the sampled values, respectively; and store the collected data in the memory; an omega engine configured to: retrieve selected portions of the collected data from the memory; and send the selected portions to a remote host; wherein at least one of the collection, the storage, the retrieval and the sending are performable according to one or more reconfigurable collection-control criteria, one or more reconfigurable storage-control criteria, one or more reconfigurable retrieval-control criteria and one or more reconfigurable reporting-control criteria, respectively, stored in the memory. The parameter-sensing node and the remote host relate, e.g., as a taskee-client and a taskor-server, respectively.

Wireless parameter-sensing node and network thereof

Discretely-mobile parameter-sensing nodes, such as mobile phones, may be connected to a remote host. Each of the nodes is capable of sensing parametric values that are internal, and ambient to the node. The values may relate to atypical movement of a group of users, such as warfighters, that are associated with the nodes. Upon analysis of the atypical movement, the status (e.g., health) of a user associated with a node involved in such movement can be ascertained.

Methods of operating wireless parameter-sensing nodes and remote host

A method (of operating a mobile parameter-sensing node (e.g., a mobile phone) connectable wirelessly to a remote host (e.g., a base station or NIB)) includes: sampling values of parameters that are internal to and/or ambient to the node; selectively collecting data representing the sampled values according to a first subject list (defining which ones amongst the parameters will have data representative thereof collected) and/or a first frequencies-of-collection list (of collection frequencies at which the data are to be collected); analyzing, locally to the node, the collected data in terms of alarm criteria; and selectively collecting data according to a second subject list and/or a second frequencies-of-collection list when one or more of the alarm criteria are satisfied, the second subject list and the second frequencies-of-collection list being more inclusive than the first subject list and the second frequencies-of-collection list.
