Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have recently received a lot of attention
in supply chain applications. One of the challenges facing RFID in this application
domain is the fast identification of a large number of tags that are simultaneously present
in the reader range of an RFID reader. In this thesis, different transmission control
strategies were evaluated based on the EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2 UHF RFID
protocol. These strategies focus on incorporating the capture effect and an accurate tag
population estimate. To facilitate the evaluation, a Java-based simulator of the MAC
layer of the above protocol was implemented.
