Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has much potential to automate business processes and improve visibility across the supply chain, especially in target tracking problems. So the deployment of RFID readers is very important. This paper focuses on the optimization of RFID readers´ deployment for target tracking in Electronic Product Code (EPC) Network performed by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The simulation results show that the PSO algorithm maximizes the tracking precision and minimizes the reader consumption.
