12/1/2004 - Tags and access points

  
The entire week team members have been working on the CDR which is due on the 6th of December. Members had to do the research on their own on the Bluetooth interfacing part. The main concern was the communication between tags and access points. So last week we researched on different communication modes and then we were able to design a basic communication algorithm. A meeting was held with the computer science leader to find out if the algorithm is feasible and easy to implement. Even though we decided on the communication algorithm we are working on finding more algorithms that are easy to implement and faster than the current one.
