The network architecture of an RFID system affects the operating performance and scalability of the entire system. The related researches about RFID system could be made easier as the bridge-based and the gateway-based network architecture. This study considers a scenario for an RFID object tracking system designs a hierarchical RFID network system and evaluates the operating performance of different RFID system architectures. The results of performance evaluations demonstrate that the proposed hierarchical RFID network architecture reduces the network and database system loading by 41.8% and 83.2%, respectively. The operation of RFID object tracking over the hierarchical network architecture is indicated to be highly efficient and scalable.
