1. A method for monitoring the functioning of an RFID-based radio communication network in a spatially extensive area, wherein a plurality of RFID tags carry out a radio communication with a reader, comprising:
- carrying out, in the area of coverage of the RFID system in which at least one fixed reference RFID tag is arranged, a periodic radio communication between the at least one fixed reference RFID tag and the reader;
sending the data from the reader to a control center;
comparing the data in the control center with previously transmitted data relating to the at least one reference RFID tag.
