SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A HOST COMPUTER AND COMMUNICATION DEVICES
First Claim
1. In a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of wireless transceivers having unique identifiers, wherein one or more of the plurality of wireless transceivers configured to receive a sensor data signal from at least one of a plurality of remote devices and transmit an original data message comprising a corresponding unique identifier and a sensor data signal, and wherein each of the plurality of wireless transceivers further configured to receive an original data message transmitted by one of the other wireless transceivers and transmit a repeated data message comprising the sensor data signal and corresponding unique identifier, a site controller in communication with at least one of the wireless transceivers and configured to:
- receive original data messages and repeated data messages;
identify remote devices in the plurality of remote devices associated with the sensor data signals of the received original data messages and repeated data messages; and
provide information related to the sensor data signals to a wide area network for access by a first host computer.
