Reliable framework for unreliable RFID devices

The current large scale RFID deployment requires careful consideration of the unreliable property of RFID devices, the massive scale of generated data and processing of data in a scalable and timely manner. We propose a path based architecture for item tracking named RF2ID and a path based system for item location named Guardian Angel that addresses these challenges.
