Abstract

As RFID tags become more widespread, new approaches for managing larger numbers of RFID tags will be needed. In this paper, we consider the problem of how to accurately and efficiently monitor a set of RFID tags for missing tags. Our approach accurately monitors a set of tags without collecting IDs from them. It differs from traditional research which focuses on faster ways for collecting IDs from every tag. We present two monitoring protocols, one designed for a trusted reader and another for an untrusted reader.
