An Energy Efficient Active RFID Protocol to Avoid Overhearing Problem

In this paper we describe an energy efficient protocol for active radio frequency identification (RFID) tags complying with the standard. The energy efficiency is a key requirement for the wider acceptance of the active RFID systems that use battery constrained tags. The existing active RFID protocols try to reduce energy consumption of tags by putting […]

Load Balancing for a Multi-Channel Multi-Interface 2.4 GHz Active RFID Reader

ISO/IEC 18000-7 Active RFID standard, a single channel system operating at 433 MHz, faces technical difficulties in supporting some recently introduced application demands because of its low transmission rates and vulnerability to radio interference between the readers. We propose a new multi-channel active RFID system operating at the 2.4 GHz band. The special feature of […]

Geometrical Approach to Multi-Phase RFID Filtering in Dense Environments

In the upcoming ubiquitous computing environment, almost every object that needs to be identified will be attached to an radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Omnipresent RFID tags lead to the concern that huge volumes of RFID data could easily overwhelm related networks and systems. However, for most applications, only a small subset of ID data […]

QT-CBP: A New RFID Tag Anti-Collision Algorithm using Collision Bit Position

The ability to recognize many tags simultaneously is crucial for many advanced RFID-based applications. The tag anti-collision algorithm of an RFID system, which arbitrates collisions on the air interface among tags in the same reading range of a reader, makes a great influence on the speed and the reliability in multiple tag recognition. This paper […]
