TL;DR: In this article, a network controller provides selective interface means to be employed between the host computers and the base transceivers whereby low data rate base transceiver units may be utilized with the network controller while spread spectrum or high data rate networked base Transceivers may be also utilized.

TL;DR: Improved apparatus for a radio communication system having a multiplicity of mobile transceiver units selectively in communication with a plurality of base transceivers which, in turn, communicate with one or more host computers for storage and manipulation of data collected by bar code scanners or other collection means associated with the mobile transce units is presented in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, a data collection network supporting roaming terminals which may enter and exit a sleep mode to conserve power is considered, where a plurality of base stations each periodically transmit pending message indications to those roaming data collection terminals within range.
