SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING RADIO SYSTEM COOLING AND ANTENNA POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
An information handling system executing an integrated antenna power and cooling management system may comprise an antenna situated nearby components of the information handling system, a chassis enclosing the information handling system, the antenna, and a wireless interface device with a wireless radio to generate a signal to transmit data via the antenna, where the components and the chassis are capable of absorbing a total thermal heat capacity, the chassis having an outer surface coming into contact with human skin during execution of the information handling system, a temperature sensor to determine an operating temperature of the information handling system reaching a control point value, and a processor executing code instructions to estimate antenna thermal output during data transmission relative to the total thermal heat capacity of the components, based on the operating temperature of the information handling system, and control an active cooling system for cooling the chassis.
SENSOR NODE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS
Embodiments relate to a sensor node communication system that determines the presence of an object. The system includes man-portable nodes that communicate via a self-organizing LAN. Each node includes a control circuit that has multiple cores, multithreading, and/or parallel processing. The control circuit establishes the LAN, captures an image, determines a presence of a predetermined object in the image using a machine learning algorithm, generates a first notification when presence of the predetermined object is determined, and generates a second notification when the presence is not determined. The control circuit detects an electromagnetic environment, determines unused frequency bands, and adapts a radio working parameter to broadcast in the unused frequency band. Determining the unused frequency bands includes the use of a spectrum sensing method. The control circuit detects an electromagnetic environment, determines unused frequency bands, and adapts a radio working parameter to broadcast in unused frequency bands.
