Evaluation of a new RFID system performance monitoring approach

Several performance monitoring approaches allowing the detection of RFID system defects have been proposed in the past. This article evaluates 3 of these approaches using a SystemC model, SERFID, of a UHF RFID system. SERFID can simulate the EPC C1G2 standard for the UHF tag-reader communication and also allows a realistic bit error injection in their RF channel.
