Abstract
Considering the multi-reader deployment in large scale RFID implementation, readers are not working independently but cooperate with each other in a certain context, thus they form a reader network. Lots of researches have been done about the reader collision problem, while research for reader coordination is still needed. A RFID reader coordination model is introduced, which provides a monitoring and management interface to illustrate logical relations between readers, so as to coordinate readers to fulfill the data collection tasks and keep the reader network working in a healthy and stable status.
