  • Wireless deployment of bluetooth access points using a distributed antenna architecture
    Patent number: 6771933
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless communications system, in which a distributed antenna system (DAS) and one or more master Bluetooth access point modules are employed to extend the range of and wirelessly deploy Bluetooth access points (BTAPs) in a scalable and versatile manner. A variety of wireless personal area networks (WPANs) are further created, to support multiple slave Bluetooth devices. As such, the present invention provides a simplified and easily scalable Bluetooth coverage infrastructure, allows pooling the resources of Bluetooth access points for best performance/cost ratio and dynamic RF routing/filtering in capacity management, and simplifies the provisioning in the system.
