Performance evaluation of mobile RFID under multiple BoMR environments

Form factor and demand for low power consumption limit the transmission power of UHF mobile RFID readers. BoMR [1], a kind of booster for mobile RFID readers to extend the read range, was introduced and its performance was analyzed. But some practical issues such as collision and interference should be estimated for its widespread usage. In this paper, the collision, interference and performance of BoMRs are evaluated under multiple BoMR environments. Simulation model with DEVS formalism is presented and the results are summarized. Finally, the performances of LBT schemes are studied by simulation.
