METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AGGREGATING AND TRANSFERRING DATA FROM MULTIPLE ID READERS OVER AN ADHOC WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

The present invention provides a system of ID data readers (15) and universal ID processors (20a,20b,etc.) in wireless communication (30) with a universal ID processor (20bes) at a backend station. The ID data/symbol from the ID readers (15) are coded (400) into a data packet (494) associated with a universal ID processor (20a,20b, etc.) and is transmitted directly to the backend universal ID processor for decoding (500) and processing. Transmission of ID data/symbol to the backend ID processor (20bes) may be relayed through intermediate universal ID processors (20a,20b, etc) such that communication (30) is without a pre-fixed structure.
