1. A system for providing quality of service, the system comprising:
- an RFID first network; and
a second network communicatively coupled to the RFID first network;
the RFID first network comprising;
a set of tags; and
a set of readers, each reader configured to;
receive data from one or more tags;
retrieve RFID priority information corresponding to said RFID first network;
determine an RFID priority level corresponding to the RFID first network for the data received from each tag based on the retrieved RFID priority information;
map the RFID priority level for the data received from each tag into an associated priority level corresponding to the second network, wherein the RFID priority level for one or more tags is different than the tags associated priority levels corresponding to the second network; and
send, to the second network, an RFID response for each tag comprising the data received from the tag and the associated priority level corresponding to the second network.

21. A method of providing quality of service in an RFID first network comprising a set of tags and a set of readers, the RFID first network communicatively coupled to a second network, the method comprising:
-
at a reader, receiving a request from the second network for reading data from a plurality of tags in the set of tags; retrieving priority information corresponding to each tag in the plurality of tags; determining a priority level corresponding to each tag in the plurality of tags based on the retrieved priority information; and at the reader, reading data from each tag in the plurality of tags by interrogating each tag in the plurality of tags based on the determined priority levels. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
