AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This solution increases data transfer speed by dynamically selecting the most efficient communication path, ensuring faster data transfer and network adaptability in response to changing data traffic conditions.

Problems solved by technology

A drawback of such a system, however, is that it does not provide for the efficient use of multiple available transmission paths to select, for example, the path that contains the least amount of data traffic at any given time and hence the fast transmission time.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] An illustrative embodiment of a short range RF network 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 1. Network 10 includes a plurality of wireless transceiver beacons 14 connected either directly or indirectly to a host 12 through a plurality of communication paths 16. In the example shown in FIG. 1, three direct paths, 16a, 16b and 16c, are generally shown for connecting the beacons 14a, 14b, 14c, to the host 12. Each communication path is made up of a direct link 18a, 18b, 18c, defined as a wireless connection between the host 12 and a beacon 14a1, 14b1, 14c1, and may include one or more indirect links 20a and 20b1,20b4, defined as a wireless connection between two beacons. In the network 10, path 16a is made up of a direct link 18a between beacon 14a1, and host 12, and an indirect link 20a between beacon 14a2 and 14a1. Thus, beacon 14a2 communicates with host 12 only through the use of beacon 14a1, in path 16a. Path 16c includes only a sin...

Abstract

A network including a host device and a plurality of transceiver beacons for communicating data from terminal devices interacting with the beacons, to the host. The beacons include identification codes used by the host for establishing wireless communication links either between a beacon and the host, or between two or more beacons. A routing mechanism is included in the beacons for selecting a most favorable transmission path among available paths for communicating data to the host.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This is a continuation of patent application Ser. No. 09 / 614,508 filed on Jul. 11, 2000.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to local communication networks and, more particularly, to a short range RF network having dynamic routing and configuration capabilities. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] The availability of various types of communication devices produces a need to have these devices interact with each other in a manner which is cost efficient and which can be easily implemented. Such communication can occur between two or more terminal devices (e.g. telephones, computers, printers, facsimile machines, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc.) by wired connection such as by connecting electrical conductors to the devices, or by wireless communication using infrared signals or radio frequency (RF) signals. For many applications, RF signals are preferred as they do not requir...
