MULTI-READER COORDINATION IN RFID SYSTEM

摘要

A method of operating a plurality of Radio Frequency Identificatio (RPID) readers includes operating the readers according to a spatial-division and time-division synchronization schedule. Each reader may be associated with a reader group, and the schedule may specify a duration of time that all of the readers in a group may be active. Readers in different reader groups may be scheduled independent of readers in other reader groups.
