  • Publication number: 20170279481
    Abstract: The invention relates to a base station or a radio access point having a plurality of radio modules, of which one communicates with electronic price indication signs. If a plurality of radio modules use the same frequencies and communicate simultaneously, disturbances can occur in the form of interference. The invention solves this problem in that the radio modules (21, 22, 23) are coupled (24) such that a radio module (22) can influence another radio module (21, 23) with regard to the radio activity of said other radio module. In particular, the radio module that communicates with the electronic price indication signs (22) can silence the other radio modules (21, 23) by means of a radio activity control signal (FS).

  • Publication number: 20170139032
    Abstract: The invention further relates to a radio tag with a communication stage and a logic stage that interacts therewith The invention relates to a method for locating a radio tag whose position is unknown, wherein in a group of radio tags, in particular designed as electronic price-indicating devices, a locating signal is either a) emitted by one or more radio tags whose position is known and received by the radio tag whose position is unknown or b) emitted by the radio tag whose position is unknown and received by one or more radio tags whose position is known, and, in both cases a) and b), the reception quality for the locating signal is determined and provided, for the radio tag receiving the locating signal, as a basis for narrowing down the position of the radio tag whose position is unknown.

  • Publication number: 20170011238
    Abstract: A system, comprising a communication station for communicating with a number of radio tags in a time slot communication process, in which a number of time slots per time slot cycle in a repeating sequence are available for communication, and each time slot is characterized by a distinct time slot symbol, wherein the communication station is designed to send out a synchronization data signal comprising the time slot symbol for the currently present time slot, and wherein a radio tag is designed for changing from a sleep state into an active state at a wakeup instant, and for receiving the synchronization data signal in the active state and, if the received time slot symbol indicates a time slot intended for it, for defining a new wakeup instant corresponding to the next appearance of the time slot intended for it in a time slot cycle that follows the currently present time slot cycle.
