Wireless data concentrator systems and methods
View Patent ↗A computer implemented method includes transmitting a transmit command to a first data concentrator to send out a predetermined signal of predetermined characteristics according to a transmission setting, receiving a received signal from at least one second data concentrator, and determining if there are any signal transmission effects between the first data concentrator and the second data concentrator based on a comparison of the predetermined signal and the received signal.
1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
transmitting a transmit command to a first data concentrator to send out a predetermined signal of predetermined characteristics according to a transmission setting;
receiving a received signal from at least one second data concentrator;
determining if there are any signal transmission effects between the first data concentrator and the second data concentrator based on a comparison of the predetermined signal and the received signal; and
receiving an aircraft startup signal before transmitting the transmit command to cause the method to be performed with every aircraft startup.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising modifying the transmission setting of the first data concentrator based on the determined signal transmission effects.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein modifying the transmission setting is for improving signal transmission between the first data concentrator and the second data concentrator.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein modifying the transmission setting includes changing a signal gain output by the first data concentrator.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein changing the signal gain includes increasing the signal gain.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein modifying the transmission setting includes changing a frequency output by the first data concentrator.
7. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer executable instructions configured to cause a computer to perform the steps of a method, the method comprising:
transmitting a transmit command to a first data concentrator to send out a predetermined signal of predetermined characteristics according to a transmission setting;
receiving a received signal from at least one second data concentrator;
determining if there are any signal transmission effects between the first data concentrator and the second data concentrator based on a comparison of the predetermined signal and the received signal; and
receiving an aircraft startup signal before transmitting the transmit command to cause the method to be performed with every aircraft startup.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the method further includes modifying the transmission setting of the first data concentrator based on the determined signal transmission effects.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein modifying the transmission setting is for improving signal transmission between the first data concentrator and the second data concentrator.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein modifying the transmission setting includes changing a signal gain output by the first data concentrator.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein changing the signal gain includes increasing the signal gain.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein modifying the transmission setting includes changing a frequency output by the first data concentrator.
13. A computer implemented method, comprising:
transmitting a transmit command to a first data concentrator to send out a predetermined signal of predetermined characteristics according to a transmission setting;
receiving a received signal from at least one second data concentrator;
determining if there are any signal transmission effects between the first data concentrator and the second data concentrator based on a comparison of the predetermined signal and the received signal; and
receiving a scheduled start signal before transmitting the transmit command to cause the method to be executed according to a predetermined schedule.
14. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer executable instructions configured to cause a computer to perform the steps of a method, the method comprising:
transmitting a transmit command to a first data concentrator to send out a predetermined signal of predetermined characteristics according to a transmission setting;
receiving a received signal from at least one second data concentrator;
determining if there are any signal transmission effects between the first data concentrator and the second data concentrator based on a comparison of the predetermined signal and the received signal; and
receiving a scheduled start signal before transmitting the transmit command to cause the method to be executed according to a predetermined schedule.
