A method of providing quality of service for upstream data in a first RFID network comprising a set of tags and a set of readers, the first RFID network communicatively coupled to a second network, the method comprising:
- at a reader, receiving data from a plurality of tags;
- retrieving a reader priority level corresponding to the reader;
- for each tag:
- retrieving a tag priority level corresponding to the tag;
- and
- combining the retrieved reader priority level and the retrieved tag priority level to calculate a priority level for the received data from the tag;
- and
- sending, to the second network, the received data from the plurality of tags based on the calculated priority level for the received data from each tag.

- 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 a plurality of tags;
- retrieve a reader priority level corresponding to the reader;
- retrieve, for each tag, a tag priority level corresponding to the tag;
- combine, for each tag, the retrieved reader priority level and the retrieved tag priority level to calculate a priority level for the received data from the tag;
- and
