EFFICIENT UNICAST SUPER FRAME COMMUNICATIONS

In some examples, a vehicular battery management system (BMS) comprises a set of battery cells and a secondary network node coupled to the set of battery cells. The secondary network node is configured to wirelessly receive, in a first slot of a super frame, a unicast downlink packet from a primary network node, the unicast downlink packet addressed to the secondary network node. The secondary network node is also configured to wirelessly transmit, in a second slot of the super frame and responsive to the unicast downlink packet, an uplink packet to the primary network node.
