Abstract
A wireless network may include a server, a network, a network access device and a plurality of nodes configured to communicate wirelessly. Messages may be communicated through the network wirelessly in an uncoordinated manner. Some nodes may be assigned a first priority indicating that the node has a higher priority than other nodes assigned a second priority. During a certain time period or window, referred to as a 'quality of service window,' nodes assigned the first priority may continue transmitting in the uncoordinated manner, while nodes associated with the second priority may wait to transmit their messages until after the expiration of the quality of service window. Thus, during the quality of service window, there should be less congestion since nodes assigned the second priority remain quiet, thereby increasing the likelihood that messages transmitted by the nodes assigned the first priority will be successfully communicated.
