Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the effect of the data aggregation level on the MAC performance when RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) logistics data, which can be aggregated at RFID readers to reduce the transmission overhead, are transmitted in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. For various data aggregation levels, the throughputs and latencies of the DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) and PCF (Point Coordination Function) MAC protocols are analyzed by computer simulation. From the simulation analysis, we propose the appropriate input traffic load for real-time RFID logistics data transmitted in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.
