A system and method of determining locations of one or more RFID tags
within an RFID environment. The system includes a plurality of RFID
readers, each operative to transmit and receive RF signals for scanning a
tag disposed within an RF coverage region associated with the reader, and
for receiving tag data in response to the scanning of the tag. A
plurality of sub-locations is determined within the environment, each
corresponding to at least a portion of at least one of a plurality of RF
coverage regions associated with the readers. The sub-locations are
mapped to a plurality of predefined locations within the environment. A
reader scans a tag, and receives tag scan data from the tag in response
to the scanning of the tag. The tag scan data includes a tag identifier
associated with the scanned tag. The tag scan data is mapped to the
sub-locations based on the RF coverage region associated with the reader.
The location of the scanned tag is then determined with reference to the
predefined locations within the environment, based on the tag identifier
included in the tag scan data, the mapping of the tag scan data to the
sub-locations, and the mapping of the sub-locations to the predefined
locations.
