NXP Semiconductors had one patents in edge computing during Q2 2024. The patent describes a wireless network device that can be near-field coupled to other devices using both near-field and far-field transceivers. The device can also be wirelessly far-field coupled to another device only if certain conditions are met, such as not being already far-field coupled to a different device. The network devices are designed to be in physical contact with a body. GlobalData’s report on NXP Semiconductors gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy.

Application: Wireless device network topology (Patent ID: US20240113744A1)
The patent filed by NXP Semiconductors NV describes a first wireless network device that can wirelessly near-field couple with a second wireless network device and a set of near-field wireless network devices using only the near-field transceiver. These devices are in physical contact with a body and can be far-field coupled to a third wireless network device only if the second device is not far-field coupled to the third device. The system can form a wireless near-field body area network (WBAN) and a wireless far-field personal area network (WPAN) according to IEEE standards.
The claims further detail the interactions between the devices, including the conditions under which far-field coupling can occur, the roles of Leader and Follower devices, and trigger conditions for switching between devices. The patent also covers the use of plane wave RF signals for far-field coupling and quasi-static electric signals for near-field coupling. The devices can be on-body or off-body devices, and the trigger conditions for switching between devices include factors like power consumption, battery energy level, signal strength, and device status. The system is designed to optimize wireless connections between devices in various body and object configurations.
