In this paper, Air-interface protocols of ISO 18000-6 Types and EPCglobal Classes applied to RFID system in UHF band are analyzed, and those anticollision algorithms are realized. Also, the each algorithm which improves the performance of standard protocol is proposed, and the performance is compared when clock period of link timing is a identical condition on $12.5{\mu}s$. As the result, when 500 tags exist simultaneously inside reader interrogation zone, the tag recognition performance of a standard protocol is better in preceding order of Class-1 Generation-1, Type B, Type A, Class-0 and Class-1 Generation-2. And also the performance of improved protocol is better in ascending order of Type B, Type A, Class-1 Generation-1, Class-0 and Class-1 Generation-2. Therefore, performance of tag recognition remarkably depends on the regulated clock period in the protocol and link timing between a reader and a tag.

Incorrect deployment of RFID readers occurs reader-to-reader interferences in many applications using RFID technologies. Reader-to-reader interference occurs when a reader transmits a signal that interferes with the operation of another reader, thus preventing the second reader from communicating with tags in its interrogation zone. Interference detected by one reader and caused by another reader is referred to as a reader collision. In RFID systems, the reader collision problem is considered to be the bottleneck for the system throughput and reading efficiency. In this paper, we propose a novel RFID reader anti-collision algorithm based on evolutionary algorithm(EA). First, we analyze characteristics of RFID antennas and build database. Also, we propose EA encoding algorithm, fitness algorithm and genetic operators to deploy antennas efficiently. To show superiority of our proposed algorithm, we simulated our proposed algorithm. In the result, our proposed algorithm obtains 95.45% coverage rate and 10.29% interference rate after about 100 generations.

확률적(stochastic) RFID 충돌방지 알고리즘은 둘 이상의 태그가 리더기의 인식범위 내에 있을 경우 태그들이 동시에 리더기의 질의에 응답함으로서 발생하는 충돌을 확률적으로 감소시켜, 정확하고 빠르게 다수의 태그를 인식하기 위한 알고리즘이다. 본 논문에서는 확률적 충돌방지 알고리즘 중 하나인 dynamic framed ALOHA를 기반으로 새로운 태그 수 추정 방법을 이용한 RFID 충돌 방지 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

The PS algorithm divides the number of tags within the identification range of reader into smaller groups by increasing the transmission power incrementally and identifies them. It limits the number of responding tags by grouping the tags within the identification range of the reader, and thus can reduce the probability of tag collision. Also, in the PS algorithm, the reader takes advantages of the difference of identification ranges. This algorithm uses the fixed frame size at every scan. Therefore, it has problems that the performance can be shown variously according to the number of tags and frame size. In this paper, we propose an EPS algorithm that allocates the optimal frame size by estimating the number of tags at each scan, and apply it into the STAC protocol. The simulation results showed that STAC/EPS algorithm can improve the identification delay about 45% compared with STAC protocol. Also, it provides a stable identification delay regardless of power level increase.

Tag collection is one of the major functions in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. IS0/IEC 18000-7 defines the tag collection algorithm using the anti-collision algorithm, based on the framed slotted ALOHA for active RFID systems. However, it has inefficiency problems that reduce tag collection performance by deciding non-optimum slot size or using point-to-point commands to put collected tags to sleep. In this paper, we propose two mechanisms to overcome the inefficiency problems and improve tag collection performance: 1) a new slot size decision mechanism to allow the reader to choose the optimum slot size flexibly and 2) a broadcast-based sleep mechanism to put collected tags to sleep effectively. We also implemented an active RFID system, composed of an active RFID reader and multiple tags, and the reader is designed to maximize tag collection performance when the proposed mechanisms are applied. In experiments, we evaluated the tag collection performance using one reader and 50 tags in the real-world environment. The experimental results show that when two mechanisms are applied and the initial number of slots is chosen appropriately, the performance of the proposed tag collection algorithm is greatly enhanced, compared with that of the standard.

본 논문은 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크와 텔레매틱스 서비스에 사용되는 무선 환경 프로토콜 표준 중 UHF 대역 프로토콜인 EPCglobal의 Class 1 Gen 1, Class 1 Gen 2의 에어인터페이스를 분석하고 각 프로토콜에서 규정된 충돌방지 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 그리고 각 프로토콜에서 규정하는 충돌방지 알고리즘의 성능을 개선한 알고리즘을 제안하고 성능을 비교하였다. 개선된 알고리즘과 표준 알고리즘의 성능 시뮬레이션 결과 개선된 Class 1 Gen 1 알고리즘은 태그 수 100개 일 때 54.5%, 태그 수 1000개 일 때 63.4% 감소하였다. 개선된 Class 1 Gen 2 알고리즘은 태그 수 100개 일 때 7.9%, 태그 수 1000개 일 때 11.7% 감소하였다. 개선된 충돌방지 알고리즘은 표준 알고리즘보다 태그 인식 성능이 상당히 개선됨을 알 수 있다. 따라서 개선된 충돌방지 알고리즘은 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크와 텔레매틱스 서비스 등에 사용되는 무선인식 시스템의 성능 개선방안으로 적용될 수 있다.

The procedure of the arbitration which is the tag collision is essential because the multiple tags response simultaneously in the same frequency to the request of the Reader. This procedure is known as Anti-collision and it is a key technology in the RFID system. In this paper, we propose the Bit Pattern Prediction Algorithm(BPPA) for the efficient identification of the multiple tags. The BPPA is based on the tree algorithm using the time slot and identify the tag quickly and efficiently using accurate bit pattern prediction method. Through mathematical performance analysis, We proved that the BPPA is an O(n) algorithm by analyzing the worst-case time complexity and the BPPA's performance is improved compared to existing algorithms. Through MATLAB simulation experiments, we verified that the BPPA require the average 1.2 times query per one tag identification and the BPPA ensure stable performance regardless of the number of the tags.
