You are cordially invited by the COE/ICS Dept., to attend a Graduate Seminar, on the above given title, by Mr. Mohammad Faizuddin, Computer Engineering Department, on Tuesday, 02nd April, 2013, at 02:30 PM, in Building 22, Room 132.
Abstract: Due to the recent technological advancements, RFID technology has become cheaper and is used in many applications such as inventory tracking application. In this paper, we design, simulate and analyze an inventory management system for a warehouse. We use a single mobile reader and a combination of active and passive RFID tags. Passive tags are used due to its very low cost compared to that of active tags. A querying resolution algorithm is proposed which makes use of the mesh network formed by active tags when it is available and uses the mobile reader otherwise. We vary the percentage of active tags in the network and calculate the energy consumption, network lifetime, query resolution and distance travelled by the mobile reader. We use the results to find the right percentage of active tags in the network which will give good performance at low cost.
