Abstract: Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader having a first RFID tag having a first antenna element operating at a first transmit power. The first RFID tag receives, in a first time interval, a first interrogation command from a first RFID reader through the first antenna element. The first RFID tag transmits, in the first time interval, a first response signal to the first RFID reader. The RFID reader comprises a second antenna element that operates at a second transmit power and a processor communicatively coupled to the second antenna element. The processor transmits, in the first time interval, a second interrogation command to one or more second RFID tags through the second antenna element. The first RFID tag transmits, in a second time interval, a third interrogation command to a first RFID tag of a second RFID reader through the first antenna element.

Abstract: Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a method. The method includes receiving, by a first radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag in an RFID reader, a first interrogation command from another RFID reader. The method includes transmitting, by the first RFID tag in the RFID reader, a first response signal to the other RFID reader in response to the reception of the first interrogation command. The method further includes transmitting, by a processor in the RFID reader, a second interrogation command to one or more second RFID tags, where the transmission of the second interrogation command is concurrent to the reception of the first interrogation command or the transmission of the first response signal.

Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to wireless parallel scanning apparatus(es) and process(es) with reduced time to identify a location associated with a data identifier from a plurality of possible locations. Embodiments perform and process the results of various wireless (e.g., RFID) scans via antenna chains, the wireless scans performed in parallel and scan data representing the results of the wireless scans received in parallel. Some embodiments include a single multi-core processor, the multi-core processor including multiple cores that each independently (1) activate a wireless scanning chain including a transceiver communicable with a switch, the switch associated with controlling a signal transmitted to one of a plurality of antenna chains, and (2) receive scan data received via the wireless scanning chain. Some embodiments include the single multi-core processor including a core that aggregates the scan data from other cores and identifies a location identifier for a target data identifier.

Abstract: Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a computing device comprising a wake-up detect circuit configured to detect a state change of a link light emitting diode (LED) associated with the computing device. The wake-up detect circuit is configured to transmit a wakeup trigger signal to a processor to transit from a sleep mode to a wake-up mode in response to the detection of the state change of the link LED. The processor is configured to establish a connection between the computing device and another computing device via a communication link in the wake-up mode, the other computing device corresponds to a device that has caused the state change of the link LED.
