| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, the suitability of RFID as a platform for real time applications in the Internet of Things is investigated. Two sample applications of RFID technology identify throughput and latency as key figures of merit. An experiment to measure these parameters in an existing implementation is devised and executed. The sources of latency are identified with a high degree of accuracy. Recommendations for improvement of the existing implementation are guided by the latency measurements. | en_US |
