The Impact of Radio Frequency Identification Detection in Cellular Networks

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification Detection technology (RFID) is a convenient and automatic instrument of identification and detection. It’s application can be extended to cellular network. Cellular network is a form of radio technology that makes used of radio waves for its functionality. It major goal is to cover a larger geographical area without the use of cables. It has been observed that cellular radio failures in base station has not being given due attention by researchers in terms of improving quality of service. The failure of cellular radios can hindered or suspend easy exchange of calls between users and could sometime lead to distorted billing from the operator’s end. This study takes a look on some current studies in RFID while the major aim was focused on the need to enhance cellular network performance through the using RFID technique. An analytical method was employed through the use of a mathematical model to demonstrate how RFID readers can be used to monitor tagged cellular radios with a given region.
