摘要： A system and method that facilitates the configuration and control of components of an RFID system, taking into account how the RFID system components are associated with one or more physical locations within an environment in which the RFID system is deployed. A user provides information specifying associations between the system components and the physical locations within the environment to obtain visual representations of configuration data generated therefrom with reference to a facility view, an RF coverage view, and a location view of the data. The facility view serves as a reference plane for placement and orientation of antennas associated with RFID readers, location benchmark tags, and the physical locations of interest. After each antenna is placed and oriented on the facility view, an estimate of the size and shape of the RF interrogation zone of each antenna is computed, and representations of the RF interrogation zones are provided on the facility view to obtain the RF coverage view of the data. Next, the user provides information specifying the physical locations of interest to obtain the location view of the data. A composite of the facility view, the coverage view, and the location view is then generated to obtain an enhanced visual understanding of how the system components and the physical locations exist within the system environment, and how the components and locations are associated with one another.

摘要： A system and method of determining locations of one or more RFID tags within an RFID environment. The system includes a plurality of RFID readers, each operative to transmit and receive RF signals for scanning a tag disposed within an RF coverage region associated with the reader, and for receiving tag data in response to the scanning of the tag. A plurality of sub-locations is determined within the environment, each corresponding to at least a portion of at least one of a plurality of RF coverage regions associated with the readers. The sub-locations are mapped to a plurality of predefined locations within the environment. A reader scans a tag, and receives tag scan data from the tag in response to the scanning of the tag. The tag scan data includes a tag identifier associated with the scanned tag. The tag scan data is mapped to the sub-locations based on the RF coverage region associated with the reader. The location of the scanned tag is then determined with reference to the predefined locations within the environment, based on the tag identifier included in the tag scan data, the mapping of the tag scan data to the sub-locations, and the mapping of the sub-locations to the predefined locations.

摘要： A system and method for monitoring and characterizing various sources of RF interference within an RFID environment, and for adjusting the operational characteristics of an array of RFID readers within the system based on these interference characterizations. The system examines the received transmissions from readers in the network by controlling a calibration cycle or while they are operating as interrogators to determine interference parameters, and to verify the operation of the readers in the array. The system also examines outside sources of interference, and signal dependent interference. The interference characterization can also be estimated from a combination of calculations and co-monitoring.

摘要： An integrated circuit (203) for use in processing streams of data generally and streams of packets in particular. The integrated circuit (203) includes a number of packet processors (307, 313, 303), a table look up engine (301), a queue management engine (305) and a buffer management engine (315). The packet processors (307, 313, 303) include a receive processor (421), a transmit processor (427) and a risc core processor (401), all of which are programmable. The receive processor (421) and the core processor (401) cooperate to receive and route packets being received and the core processor (401) and the transmit processor (427) cooperate to transmit packets. Routing is done by using information from the table look up engine (301) to determine a queue (215) in the queue management engine (305) which is to receive a descriptor (217) describing the received packet's payload.
