Abstract
Various aspects include methods for managing scheduling of AUX connection request messages (ACRQs) performed by a processor of an access point (AP). Firmware (FW) of the AP may receive from a Host entity of the AP information indicating one or more groups of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) to which the FW will broadcast an AUX connect request message (ACRQ). The FW may broadcast the ACRQ to one of the groups of ESLs according to the information when communication resources are available according to an ACRQ broadcast schedule determined by the FW.
Claims30
A method of managing scheduling of AUX connection request messages (ACRQs) performed by a processor of an access point (AP), comprising:
- receiving, in firmware (FW) of the AP from a Host entity of the AP, information indicating one or more groups of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) to which the FW will broadcast an ACRQ;
- and
- broadcasting, by the FW, the ACRQ to one of the groups of ESLs according to the information when communication resources are available according to an ACRQ broadcast schedule determined by the FW.
An access point (AP), comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and comprising firmware (FW) configured to:
- receive information indicating one or more groups of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) to which the FW will broadcast an AUX connect request message (ACRQ);
- and
- broadcast the ACRQ to one of the groups of ESLs according to the information when communication resources are available according to an ACRQ broadcast schedule determined by the FW.
An access point (AP), comprising:
- means for receiving from a Host entity, of the AP, information indicating one or more groups of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) to which the AP will broadcast an AUX connect request message (ACRQ);
- means for determining an ACRQ broadcast schedule;
- and
- means for broadcasting the ACRQ to one of the groups of ESLs according to the information when communication resources are available according to the determined ACRQ broadcast schedule.
