Systems and methods for prioritizing wireless communication
First Claim
1. A method for prioritizing a wireless communication to a portable communication device, the method comprising:
- operating one or more sensors;
capturing, with the one or more sensors, an over-the-air identifier of the portable communication device;
determining, with an electronic processor, a capture parameter based on at least one of a count of a number of times of capturing the over-the-air identifier and a last time of capturing the over-the-air identifier of the portable communication device;
assigning, with the electronic processor, a priority level to the portable communication device based on the capture parameter; and
prioritizing, with the electronic processor, the wireless communication between the one or more sensors and the portable communication device based on the priority level assigned to the portable communication device.

Abstract
A system and method for prioritizing a wireless communication to a portable communication device (102). In one example, a sensor (121) includes an electronic processor configured to capture an over-the-air identifier (404_1) of a portable communication device (102), determine a capture parameter based on at least one of a count of a number of times of capturing the over-the-air identifier and a last time of capturing the over-the-air identifier of the portable communication device (102), assign a priority level (414_1) to the portable communication device (102) based on the capture parameter, and prioritize the wireless communication between the sensor and the portable communication device (102) based on the priority level (414_1) assigned to the portable communication device (102).

16. A method of controlling a communication channel during a congestion period, the method comprising:
-
receiving, with a sensor, an over-the-air identifier of each of a plurality of portable communication devices; determining, with an electronic processor, a capture parameter based on at least one of a count of a number of times the sensor receives the over-the-air identifier and a last time of capturing the over-the-air identifier of each of the plurality of portable communication devices; and assigning, by the electronic processor, a quality of service for the communication channel based on the capture parameter. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
