Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve one-hop extension in wireless battery management systems. An example apparatus is to cause transmission of an instruction to a first battery monitoring node (BMN) of a vehicle, the first BMN in communication with the apparatus, the instruction to cause the first BMN to operate as a repeater for a second BMN of the vehicle, the second BMN noncommunicative with the apparatus. The example apparatus is to process an acknowledgement from the first BMN indicating that the first BMN has configured to operate as the repeater. Additionally, the example apparatus is to cause transmission of a communication to at least the first BMN indicating a time at which at least the first BMN is to perform a first action associated with a first battery and the second BMN is to perform a second action associated with a second battery.
