摘要：For Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) applications in Internet of Things, proper reader deployment is important because unguarded deployment may cause reader-to-tag or reader-to-reader interferences, incurring huge deployment cost. Current RFID topology designs are optimization-based whose heuristic search for optimal or sub-optimal solutions may take much complexity and whose improper utilization or concurrent consideration on the involved objectives may generate unfavorable results. Topursue more desirable reader deployment for RFID networks, this paper presents an efficient new topology design –NOP. NOP involves a Non-OPtimization practice to avoid the tediously long heuristic search in optimization-based methods and gives proper sequential considerations on involved objectives to avoid improper objective utilization. The conducted experimental evaluation shows that our NOP method can produce better reader deployment by reduced complexity. Specifically, it outperforms optimization-based methods, such as GA, GAA and IGAA, by yielding higher fitness values at less processing time and deployment cost.
