Title
Low Access Delay Anti-Collision Algorithm for Readers in Passive RFID Systems
Abstract
Even though radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are spreading more and more as a medium for identification, location and tracking purposes, some reliability issues of these systems still need to be solved. In fact, RFID readers and tags experience collisions when sharing the wireless transmission channel over the same area. In this work, we propose a centralized scheduling-based algorithm as possible candidate solution for the reader collision problem in passive RFID systems. This algorithm has been designed taking into account the circuitry limitations of the tags, which do not allow the usage of frequency or code division multiple access schemes in passive RFID systems. The solution herewith proposed, which is suitable for those scenarios involving static or low mobility readers, aims at preventing reader collisions and provides at the same time low channel access delay to the readers. The performance of this algorithm has been tested via computer simulations. The results show that the proposed solution strongly reduces collision occurrences and, especially in static scenarios, provides low access delay to the readers during the channel contention phase.
