A RFID Network Planning Method Based on Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has a widespread application in reality, and RFID wireless network planning is one of the most important issues in this field. In this paper, we propose a RFID network planning method based on genetic algorithm. The main points include mapping RFID network, planning issues into genetic algorithms, presenting problem states by using gene and chromosome, and implementing the mechanisms of individual selection and genetic operation. Experiments show this approach is feasible and practical.
