An apparatus and a method for routing data in a radio data communication system
having one or more host computers, one or more intermediate base stations, and
one or more RF terminals organizes the intermediate base stations into an optimal
spanning-tree network to control the routing of data to and from the RF terminals
and the host computer efficiently and dynamically. Communication between the host
computer and the RF terminals is achieved by using the network of intermediate
base stations to transmit the data.
