Reader network planning (RNP) problem of radio frequency identification (RFID) system is a combinational optimization problem. In this study, we propose a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve this RNP problem. We have tested the proposed GA on several RNP problems and compare with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method by solving the same RNPs. The comparison results demonstrate that the proposed GA outperforms the PSO method.
