Abstract
RFID plays a vital role in data communication in multidimensional WSNs as it collects vast amounts of redundant data. The physical phenomena constitute the correlated observations in the space domain and generate spatial correlation. Periodic observations of sensor nodes result in a temporal correlation in the data. Reducing these spatio-temporal correlations in RFID surveillance data is necessary for the smooth functioning of the network. This paper proposes a Voronoi diagram-based spatio-temporal data redundancy elimination approach for RFID systems having multiple readers so only one reader will read every RFID tag depending on the distance between the tag and the center of the Minimum Enclosing Circle of the Voronoi cell to which the reader belongs. This approach eliminates spatial redundancy in the gathered data. Reading the RFID tags at regular time intervals larger than a chosen threshold value minimized temporal redundancy. In contrast to existing methods, the proposed technique is free from any false positive and false negative errors, with no loss of data and every tag being read by only one reader. Simulation of the proposed approach also established its superiority to the existing techniques in terms of these performance parameters.
