Claim 0:
1. A method of locating a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag, the method comprising:
determining, from historical data, a previous location of the RFID tag relative to other RFID tags;
transmitting, from a plurality of antennas, activation signals toward the RFID tag, wherein transmitting the activation signals comprises isolating transmission of the activation signals to a region containing the previous location of the RFID tag;
receiving, by the plurality of antennas, responses to the activation signals from the RFID tag;
determining, by a processor operably coupled to the plurality of antennas, possible solutions for a location of the RFID tag based on the responses to the activation signals; and
determining, by the processor, that one of the possible solutions for the location of the RFID tag is a valid solution based on an assumption about a location of the RFID tag.
