Abstract:
Methods, medium, systems, and a network device (or node) are described for enhanced power notification from a node, such as an ID node, in a wireless node network having a master node and a server. The ID node is capable of communicating directly with the master node but incapable of communicating directly with the server. In general, the ID node detects a current power status for the ID node and determines a current location of the ID node. The method then has the ID node broadcasting an enhanced power alert notification when the current power status of the ID node is below a threshold. The enhanced power alert notification indicates that the current power status of the ID node is below the threshold and includes the current location of the ID node.
