Abstract

A method of selecting one or more active slave wireless devices from a plurality of active/parked slave wireless devices is implemented by a master wireless device. The master wireless device initially assigns sequential weights to each active/parked slave wireless device, and subsequently designates one or more of the active/parked slave wireless devices as active slave wireless device(s) based partially or entirely on the assigned sequential weights. The assignment of sequential weights can be accomplished by assigning each active/parked slave wireless device to one of a plurality of ranked groups collectively representative of various traffic types between a base site and the active/parked slave wireless devices. Each active/parked slave wireless device is then sorted within its respective group.
