1. A method of facilitating data exchange, comprising:
- determining a first specified time slot based on synchronization information wirelessly received by the first client device and priority level data associated with a first class;
assigning the first specific time slot for a first client device to wirelessly communicate with a fixed proximity-based reader device;
reassigning the first specific time slot for a second client device to wirelessly communicate with the fixed proximity-based reader device, the first specific time slot reset based on synchronization information wirelessly received by the second client device and priority level data associated with a second class,wherein the first class is associated with one or more of the first client device and a user of the first client device, and the second class is associated with one or more of the second client device and a user of the second client device.

Abstract
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.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a network device configured to wirelessly broadcast synchronization information; a reader device comprising a first interface and a second interface, the first interface configured to wirelessly receive the synchronization information from the network device on a first channel and the second interface configured to communicate with the client device in accordance with the synchronization information on a second channel; and a portable client device configured to wirelessly receive the synchronization, the received synchronization information comprising information assigning a specific time slot during which the client device can communicate with one or more of the reader device and the network device, the time slot being determined according to a priority level data associated with a class, the class associated with the one or more of the portable client device and the user of the portable client device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
