Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a cluster based system, and more particularly a wireless cluster based system for communication between sensor networks.
  • a tire pressure monitoring system typically involves sensors attached to each tire of the vehicle and each sensor will transmit their readings to an in-car unit (where the readings are displayed to be viewed by the user) typically located at the head of the vehicle.
  • Each sensor on each tire needs to be paired with the in-car unit.
  • the sensors at the back end of the vehicle may not be able to transmit data to the in-car unit due to insufficient strength of such transmissions. This is further complicated when detachable trailers are involved as the distance of the sensors from the in-car unit may further increase.
  • the usual manner of overcoming the above problem is by incorporating signal boosters or routers along the vehicle whereby the booster or repeater will act to amplify or replicate the signal of sensors located further away from the in-car unit in order for it to be able to reach the in-car unit at the head of the vehicle.
  • This is not an efficient manner of transmitting signals / data as its power consumption is significantly higher.
  • the path of communications is one way whereby one booster / repeater carries the signal / data to the next booster / repeater. In the event where any one of the booster / repeater in the chain of communications is absent, it will be disrupted and the signal / data will not reach the in-car unit.
  • boosters / repeaters may also pose a problem in terms of security and accuracy of transmissions.
  • a booster's function is predominantly to amplify transmissions whilst a repeater acts to replicate the transmission. This may lead to situations where unrelated transmissions (not originating from the sensors concerned) are coincidentally amplified / replicated or that the amplified / replicated transmissions from the sensors may be intercepted.

  • the article is preferably, but not limited to, a vehicle such as a trailer, truck or lorry, or other moving object.
  • the at least one sensor unit of the present invention is preferably disposed at each tire of the vehicle for measuring at least one parameter relating to the condition of the tire.
  • the parameter relating to the condition of the tire measured by the sensor unit includes tire pressure, temperature, wheel speed, acceleration, and/or distance information of the vehicle.
