Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve radio frequency identification (RFID) tag communication. An example disclosed apparatus includes an RFID reader monitor to activate a first RFID reader and deactivate a second RFID reader during a first tag data acquisition at a first time, and deactivate the first RFID reader and activate the second RFID reader during a second tag data acquisition at a second time, a tag logger to identify a first set of RFID tags detected by the first RFID reader at the first time, and identify a second set of RFID tags detected by the second RFID reader at the second time, and a group generator to improve RFID tag communication by identifying which one of the first RFID reader and the second RFID reader communicates with a common RFID tag.
