  • Wireless transceiver management system and method
    Patent number: 7605697
    Abstract: A method of managing data communications in a wireless security system. A message is transmitted from a fixed location security device and received by at least two transceivers. Each transceiver analyzes the received message to generate RSSI data. A digital message including the RSSI data is sent from each transceiver via a wired connection to a control panel, which analyzes the RSSI data from each transceiver to determine which transceiver generated the highest RSSI. The control panel then designates data exchange responsibility to the transceiver with the highest RSSI. That transceiver will have responsibility for acknowledging messages from that security device and send data to that security device from the control panel. A transceiver will be allocated to a portable security device if it is the first to receive the wireless message rather than on RSSI data.
