ABSTRACT:
In this paper, we develop a novel mathematical model to estimate the
probability distribution function of the number of tags discovered after a certain number of interrogation rounds. In addition, the pdfs of the number of rounds needed to discover all the tags are also
calculated. The estimation of such pdfs will be helpful in estimating the
number of interrogation rounds and the optimal parameter configuration of the
RFID system which in turn will be helpful in estimating the time needed to
discover all tags. Our results show that the proposed model accurately predicts
the tags detection probability. We then use the proposed model to optimally configure
the reader parameters (i.e. the frame size and the number of
interrogation rounds).
