Integrated Wi-Fi location

Abstract:

An apparatus includes an integrated circuit that includes a microprocessor and a microcontroller unit circuit (MCU) coupled to the microprocessor. The MCU includes a central processing unit (CPU) core and a network processor that implements a wireless interface. The MCU is configured to execute a location application that facilitates a determination of a physical location of the apparatus. The MCU may also be configured to support one or more management functions. The microprocessor sends data to the MCU for wireless transmission by the MCU's wireless interface.
