  • Abstract
    This paper analyzes and proposes Expowave, a distributed algorithm for the scheduling of an RFID reader network. The behavior of the algorithm is presented in detail, and its performance is evaluated through a set of simulation experiments. It is demonstrated that the algorithm constitutes an efficient approach to the reader anti-collision problem, especially in dense and lively environments.
