Abstract:
1. A method for identifying topology for RFID deployment comprising: receiving spatial parameters of an area operable for RFID management; identifying attributes of a transceiver operable within the area for RFID management, the transceiver operable for communication with a plurality of transponders; and determining a location for disposing each a plurality of the transceivers within the area, determining further comprising: determining an interference effect based on transponder coverage material between each of the transceivers and a particular transponder; computing, based on the identified attributes and the determined interference effect, a readability zone for each of the plurality of transponders indicative of readability by a transceiver; and calculating, based on the readability zone and the spatial parameters, placement for each of the transceivers within the area, the calculated placement providing transponder coverage within the area.
