METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING DATA TO A WIRELESS ACCESS POINT

摘要

A system for communicating data through a network is disclosed. The system includes at least one access point (104) and at least one mobile unit (102). The access point includes (104) an access point processor (302), a wireless trans~ceiver (306) and an RFID transceiver (310). The wireless transceiver (306) is coupled to the access point processor (302) and the wireless transceiver (306) is configured to receive and transmit data to a mobile unit (102) in the wireless a. local area network. The RFID transceiver (310) is coupled to the access point processor (302)and the RFID transceiver (310) is configured to receive data from at least one mobile unit (102) in the wireless local area network when the wireless transceiver(306) is unavailable. The mobile unit(102) includes a mobile unit processor(306), a mobile unit wireless transceiver(204) and a mobile unit RFID transceiver(202). The mobile unit wireless transceiver(204) is coupled to the mobile unit processor(206) and the mobile unit wireless transceiver(204) is configured to receive and transmit data to the access point(104). The mobile RFI D transceiver(202) is coupled to the mobile unit processor(206) and the mobile
