    摘要: The present invention discloses a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Bluetooth (BT) device including a WLAN circuit and a BT circuit. The WLAN circuit starts a WLAN slot according to a beacon of a beacon signal from an access point and executes WLAN communication. The WLAN slot ends after a measured reception time point of the beacon so as to prevent missing the beacon. The BT circuit starts a BT slot after the end of the WLAN slot and executes BT communication. If the BT slot is shorter than the period of the beacon signal minus the WLAN slot, the WLAN circuit earns additional time to start an extended WLAN slot after the end of the BT slot for carrying on the WLAN communication. The extended WLAN slot is not longer than the period of the beacon signal minus the sum of the WLAN and BT slots.

    摘要: Methods and systems for accessing networks prohibit uncontrolled communications over a designated network. In some aspects, a method of controlling network access is disclosed. The method comprises transmitting, by a first access point, a first beacon over a first network to a station, the first beacon including information allowing the station to associate with the first access point. The method also comprises receiving a probe request at the first access point over the first network from the station, the probe request including a request for rules for associating with a second network. The method additional comprises generating a probe response to include the rules regarding associating with the second network, wherein the rules do not permit uncontrolled communications over the second network. The method further comprises transmitting the probe response from the first access point to the station over the first network.

    摘要: A system and method for tracking an article is described. The article may be baggage passing through an airport terminal or another venue. The system comprises a beacon associated with a baggage article, a plurality of relaying bridges, and a tracking service. Short-range radio signals including a beacon identifier and a beacon transmission power are emitted by the beacon associated with a baggage article and detected by a plurality of relaying bridges. The relaying bridges calculate a received signal strength indicator (RSSI), convert the short-range radio signal to a relay signal and transmit the relay signal including a unique relaying bridge identifier and RSSI information via a network. The tracking service receives data from the relay signal, attaches a time stamp to the received data, stores the time-stamped data, and determines from the stored data the time when the article arrives at a point of interest.
