Design of an RFID-based Retail Inventory Management System using an improved Trusted Reader Protocol

Abstract

For the regular operation of retail business, the inventory control mechanism is always a important task since the profit control can be easily estimation. Recently, the RFID had been widely apply to automatically inventory control and the accuracy and performance are thus be highly improved. In this paper, we surveyed the TRP protocol, that was proposed by Tan、Sheng & Li, and the possible accuracy enhancement and been proposed, And the accuracy of enhanced TRP protocol had been highly improved especially for the specified application situation. In the future, we hope the proposed can be widely used in inventory control and the performance, accuracy and security can thus be improved via proposed method.
