Abstract

Methods are described herein for adjusting characteristics of signals used to verify or track the reliability of communication between a remote sensor and a managing device. For example, an exchange rate of signals sent between the remote sensor and managing device may be adjusted to minimize power consumption when the devices are determined to be reliably communicating. In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods herein may further be configured to inform an individual of when a remote sensor approaches a physical boundary, moves out of a communication range, is turned off, becomes damaged, or otherwise has or may become incapable of proper or reliable communication.
