Abstract

This paper presents a method for positioning a large number of readers in an RFID cellular deployment zone while taking advantage of frequency and time domain multiplexing. The safe distance among the readers in the proposed cellular structure is calculated considering features such as collisions, local regulations and propagation issues. Using hexagonal cells, the RFID readers and tags are placed in an assumptive environment such as a warehouse building or a supermarket and the reliability of the implementation is estimated by means of calculating the total bit error rate (BER).
