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.

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. 2. The method of claim 1, comprising: assigning a second specific time slot to the first portable client device, the second specific time slot set according to the first class. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first specified time slot and the second specified time slot are on different wireless channels. 4. The method of claim 1, comprising: determining a second change in the network traffic, andassigning, responsive to the second change in network traffic, a second specific time slot to the first portable client device according to the first class. 5. The method of claim 4, comprising: determining a third change in the network traffic; andreassigning the first specific time slot to the first client device responsive to the third change in the network traffic. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein assigning the first specific time slot comprises: masking a bit field of the first client device. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the mask is wirelessly communicated to the first client device. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: reassigning the first specific time slot to a second client device in response to a detection that the first client device is unavailable. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining that the first client device should switch to a different channel; andsending a message to the first client device and the first client device, responsive to receiving the message, switching the channel upon which the first client device wirelessly communicates with a fixed location proximity-based reader device. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the message includes information identifying the first client device, information identifying the fixed location proximity-based reader device, a designation of a channel and a command to switch to the designated channel. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the determination to switch to the different channel is dependent on at least one of a user associated with the first client device, a class of a user associated with the first client device, a class of the first client device, and a network traffic load in the system. 12. A system for facilitating wireless data exchange between a reader device and a portable client device, comprising: the reader device having a first interface and a second interface, the first interface configured to receive synchronization information on a first channel and the second interface configured to communicate with the portable client device on a second channel in accordance with the synchronization information; andthe portable client device configured to wirelessly receive the synchronization information including one or more of information assigning a first specific time slot during which the portable client device can communicate with one or more of the reader device and a network device, and information unassigning, responsive to a change in network traffic, the first specific time slot, the one or more corresponding assignment and unassignment of the first specific time slot determined according to priority level data associated with a class, the class associated with one or more of the portable client device and a user of the portable client device. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the portable client device is configured to transmit data to one or more of the reader device and the network device during the specific time slot. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the portable client device is configured to receive data from one or more of the reader device and the network device during the specific time slot. 15. The system of claim 12, wherein the time slot is determined based on a mask applied to a bit field stored in the portable client device, and wherein the mask is wirelessly communicated to the portable client device as part of the synchronization information wirelessly broadcasted by the network device. 16. The system of claim 12, wherein after unassigning the first time slot, the reader device is configured to reassign the first timeslot to another client device. 17. The system of claim 12, wherein after unassigning the first time slot, the reader device is configured to reassign the first timeslot to the portable client device responsive to another change in the network traffic. 18. The system of claim 12, wherein the reader device is configured to reassign the timeslot during which the portable client device communicates with the reader device based at least in part on at least one of a user associated with the portable client device, a class of a user associated with the portable client device, a class of the portable client device, and a network traffic load in the system. 19. The system of claim 12, wherein the reader device is further configured to detect the portable client device on the first channel and send a message to the portable client device on the first channel responsive to a determination that the reader device wants to communicate with the portable client device, the reader device capable of wirelessly communicating on the first and the second wireless channels and the portable client device further configured to switch to the second channel responsive to receiving the message. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the message includes information identifying the portable client device, information identifying the reader device, a designation of a channel and a command to switch to the designated channel.
