  We consider a five dimensional AdS spacetime, in presence of higher curvature
term like $F(R) = R + \alpha R^2$ in the bulk, in the context of
Randall-Sundrum two-brane model. Our universe is identified with the TeV scale
brane and emerges as a four dimensional effective theory. From the perspective
of this effective theory, we examine the possibility of "inflationary scenario"
by considering the on-brane metric ansatz as an FRW one. Our results reveal
that the higher curvature term in the five dimensional bulk spacetime generates
a potential term for the radion field. Due to the presence of radion potential,
the very early universe undergoes a stage of accelerated expansion and moreover
the accelerating period of the universe terminates in a finite time. We also
find the spectral index of curvature perturbation ($n_s$) and tensor to scalar
ratio ($r$) in the present context, which match with the observational results
based on the observations of $Planck$ $2015$.
