Abstract :
This paper presents a method suitable for on-line estimation of RFID data traffic load in a RFID network, specifically the average arrival rate of each reader. The novel approach comprises of measuring the dynamics of tag data flow into middleware from associated readers including the average dwelling time of a tag in a reader and average tags arriving from the respective readers to the Middleware. Simulation results showed that the estimation error does not exceed 15%. Knowing the average arrival rate is important because it can be used for dynamic management of readers by a middleware to improve system response time.
