Abstract: The method includes controlling 700 a first wireless identification read cell, or interrogator, to activate a first set of wireless identification tags within a first communication range. Further, the method includes controlling 702 a second wireless identification read cell to activate a second set of such tags within a second communication range during activation of the first set of tags, and subsequent to initially activating the first set of wireless identification tags. The first communication range overlaps with the second communication range. The tags could be RFID tags. Data from the tags may be received in sequence based on identifiers stored in the tags. The read cells may be able to activate or deactivate tags in the different communication ranges.
