Dynamic real-time tiered client access

摘要

Wireless client devices within a wireless network exchange data with other wireless devices during particular time slots determined by the network. More particularly, the system generates and wirelessly broadcasts synchronization information to the client devices, where the synchronization information contains individual masks to be applied to bit fields of individual client devices, where said time slots are determined in accordance with the masked bit fields. In such a manner, client devices can be coordinated to communicate with the system in a dynamic real-time tiered manner.

主权项

1. A method of facilitating wireless data exchange between a first portable client device and a fixed location proximity reader, comprising:
determining a first specified time slot based on synchronization information wirelessly received by the first portable client device and priority level data associated with a first class, wherein the first class is associated with one or more of the first portable client device and a user of the first portable client device; assigning the first specific time slot for the first portable client device to wirelessly communicate with a fixed location proximity-based reader device; determining a change in network traffic; unassigning, responsive to the change in the network traffic, the first specific time slot to which the first portable client device is assigned to wirelessly communicate with a fixed location proximity reader based on the priority level data associated with the first class associated with one or more of the first portable client device and the user of the first portable client device.
