Abstract

Duplicates in RFID data stream must be filtered before sent to applications. Existing methods only considered detecting the duplicates in the server side, thus wasting lots of bandwidth to transfer the duplicate data from the reader to the server. This paper first identifies the two sources of duplicates, namely local duplicates and global duplicates. Then we propose a two-layer approach to filter those duplicates. In the reader side, we devise a method based on Bloom Filters to filter local duplicates. This greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement to transfer those duplicates. In the server side, we devise Distributed Time Bloom Filters to filter global duplicates. Experimental results show that our approach greatly reduced the network bandwidth required to transfer the data and had linear scalalablity in processing rate. Our approach are most suitable to applications which generate lots of local duplicates and the bandwidth is a scarce resouce.
