What is Throughput?

In communication networks, such as Ethernet or packet radio, throughput is the average rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel.

This data may be delivered over a physical link, over a wireless channel, or that is passing through a certain network node, such as data passed between two specific computers.

The throughput is usually measured in bits per second (bit/s or bps).

The system throughput or aggregate throughput is the sum of the data rates that are delivered to all terminals in a network.

What is RFID?

RFID stands for Radio-Frequency IDentification.

RFID refers to small electronic devices that consist of a small chip and an antenna.

The RFID device serves the same purpose as a bar code on your purchase. It provides a unique identifier for that purchase. Similarly, the RFID device must be "scanned" to retrieve the identifying information.

RFID devices will work within a few feet of the reader. For example, you could just put all of your purchase from supermarket in a bag, and set the bag on the reader. The reader would be able to query all of the RFID devices and total your purchase immediately.

However, system must be set-up carefully to avoid reader collision. Reader collision occurs when the signals from 2 or more readers overlap.
