Abstract
Interest to the RTLS that is one of RFID applications is increasing in recent. The RTLS(Real Time Locating Systems) is one of applications for locating and tracking using RFID tags which are attached to something like container, pallet, or all the things. This paper presents the design and the implementation of an RTLS system using 433MHz active RFID tags and use radio frequency to provide the scalability. Our system we developed using RFID platform takes into account an RTLS standard. Also, in this paper a routing protocol is included to data delivery to server via each reader. In order to perform the evaluation, in addition, some experiments in out door are performed and results such as error metric and distance are also included. Furthermore, simulation for the routing protocol we supposed is also included.
