RFID is a generic term for technologies which use RF waves to identify, track, or categorize any object. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader recognizes objects through wireless communications with RFID tags. Tag collision arbitration for passive tags is a significant issue for fast tag identification due to communication over a shared wireless channel. One of the research areas in RFID system is a tag anti-collision protocol. In this paper, various anti-collision protocols are discussed. The pros and cons of different anti-collision protocols are compared with each other and their performance is analyzed and the better performance anti-collision protocol is suggested.

Arbitration of tag collision is a significant issue for fast tag identification in RFID systems. A good tag anti-collision algorithm can reduce collisions and increase the efficiency of tag identification. EPCglobal Generation-2 (Gen2) for passive RFID systems uses probabilistic slotted ALOHA with a Q algorithm, which is a kind of dynamic framed slotted ALOHA (DFSA), as the tag anti-collision algorithm. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Q algorithm used in Gen2, and analyze the methods for estimating the number of slots and tags for DFSA. To increase the efficiency of tag identification, we propose new tag anti-collision algorithms, namely, Chebyshev's inequality, fixed adjustable framed Q, adaptive adjustable framed Q, and hybrid Q. The simulation results show that all the proposed algorithms outperform the conventional Q algorithm used in Gen2. Of all the proposed algorithms, AAFQ provides the best performance in terms of identification time and collision ratio and maximizes throughput and system efficiency. However, there is a tradeoff of complexity and performance between the CHI and AAFQ algorithms.

In RFID systems, the anti-collision algorithm is being improved to recognize Tag's ID within recognition area of the reader quickly and efficiently. This paper focuses on Tag collision. Many studies have been carried out to resolve Tag collision. This paper proposes a new N-ary Query Tree Algorithm to resolve more than Tag collision simultaneously, according to the value of m(2 ~ 6). This algorithm can identify more tags than existing methods by treating a maximum 6 bit collision, regardless of the continuation/non-continuation Tag's ID patterns. So, it extracts maximumly different $2^6$ bit patterns per single prefix in recognition process. The performance of N-ary Query Tree Algorithm is evaluated by theoretical analysis and simulation program.

RFID technologies have attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of their cost/time-effectiveness in large-scale logistics, supply chain management (SCM) and other various potential applications. One of the most important issues of the RFID-based systems is how quickly tags can be identified. Tag collision arbitration plays a more critical role in determining the system performance especially for passive tag-based ones where tag collisions are dealt with rather than prevented. We present a novel tag collision arbitration protocol called Optimum Frame-Slotted Aloha (OFSA). The protocol has been designed to achieve time-optimal efficiency in tag identification through an analytic study of tag identification delay and tag number estimation. Results from our analysis and extensive simulations demonstrate that OFSA outperforms other collision arbitration protocols. Also, unlike most prior anti-collision protocols, it does not require any modification to the current standards and architectures facilitating the rollout of RFID systems.

In this paper, the method is suggested to prevent data collision or damage on RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) system, in case a reader reading multi-tag simultaneously, using binary-search algorithm and Time-domain anti-collision procedure at reader and tag, respectively. The RFID system is designed that Reader enable to communicate with Tag on 13.56MHz bandwidth which is ISM(Industrial Science Medical) bandwidth, antennas of Tag part are designed using MCRF335 Chip. When RF communication is achieved between reader and tag, in case that data is transmitted to reader pass through multiple tags simultaneously, a study on the anti-collision method for the situation that the data collision occurs is performed.

Both EPCglobal Generation-2 (Gen2) for passive RFID systems and Intelleflex for semi-passive RFID systems use probabilistic slotted ALOHA with Q algorithm, which is a kind of dynamic framed slotted ALOHA (DFSA), as the tag anti-collision algorithm. A better tag anti-collision algorithm can reduce collisions so as to increase the efficiency of tag identification. In this paper, we introduce and analyze the estimation methods of the number of slots and tags for DFSA. To increase the efficiency of tag identification, we propose two new tag anti-collision algorithms, which are Chebyshev's inequality (CHI) algorithm and hybrid Q algorithm, and compare them with the conventional Q algorithm and adaptive adjustable framed Q (AAFQ) algorithm, which is mentioned in Part I. The simulation results show that AAFQ performs the best in Gen2 scenario. However, in Intelleflex scenario the proposed hybrid Q algorithm is the best. That is, hybrid Q provides the minimum identification time, shows the more consistent collision ratio, and maximizes throughput and system efficiency in Intelleflex scenario.

본 논문에서는 기존의 EPC Class 1 RFID 시스템에서의 태그 인식 절차와 태그 충돌 방지 알고리즘을 분석하였으며, 태그 인식 속도를 향상시키기 위한 고속 충돌 방지 알고리즘을 제안한다. 고속 충돌 방지 알고리즘에서는 태그 인식 과정에서 태그의 충돌 정보를 이용하고, 기존의 알고리즘에서 존재하던 불필요한 절차를 생략하였다. 성능 평가를 위하여 기존의 알고리즘과 제안한 알고리즘을 수학적으로 분석하였고, 이를 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였다. 결과에 따르면, 고속 충돌 방지 알고리즘이 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 상당한 성능향상을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

현재 RFID 시스템에서 해결하여야 할 가장 큰 문제 중 하나는 태그간의 충돌로 인해 인식 효율이 떨어진다는 것이다. 기존의 충돌 방식 중 BS 충돌 방지 알고리즘 방식은 구현이 간단하다는 장점이 있으나, 태그 수가 많아짐에 따라서 태그간 충돌에 의해 전체 태그를 읽는데 요구되는 단계별 스케줄 횟수가 증가하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 충돌 예상을 최소화 하기 위해 사전에 '0'과 '1'의 결정 비트를 통해 복수의 응답 프레임(MF)을 제안한 방식을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 복수 응답 프레임 (MF) 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘보다 30~50% 성능이 향상됨을 보인다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a novel anti-collision protocol for large-scale RFID tags identification, named Bi-response Collision Tree Protocol (BCT). In BCT, two group of tags answer the reader's same query in two response-cycles respectively and independently according to the bi-response pattern. BCT improves the RFID tag identification performance significantly by decreasing the query cycles and the bits transmitted by the reader and tags during the identification. Computation and simulation results indicate that BCT improves the RFID tag identification performance effectively, e.g. the tag identification speed is improved more than 13.0%, 16.9%, and 22.9% compared to that of Collision Tree Protocol (CT), M-ary Collision Tree Protocol (MCT), and Dual Prefix Probe Scheme (DPPS) respectively when tags IDs are distributed uniformly.

RFID는 RF신호를 이용하여 물체를 식별하는 가장 유망한 미래의 비접촉 기술이다. RFID 리더의 식별영역에 여러 개의 태그가 있는 경우, 리더의 질의에 대하여 모든 태그들이 동시에 응답을 하기 때문에 충돌이 발생되어 태그를 식별할 수 없게 된다. RFID에서 다중 태그 식별문제는 아주 중요한 핵심 기술로 이것을 해결하기 위해 슬롯기반 알로하 알고리즘, 트리 기반 알고리즘 등과 같은 충돌 방지 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 RFID 시스템에서 충돌 트리를 이용한 충돌트리 기반 충돌 방지알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 효과적인 충돌 방지 메커니즘을 제공하며 메모리래스 알고리즘이다. 제안하는 충돌트리는 다중 태그 식별문제를 해결하기 위한 메커니즘으로 리더와 태그사이 질의와 응답과정에서 만들어진다. 리더가 k 비트로 구성된 프리픽스를 질의하면, 태그는 자신의 식별자와 프리픽스를 비교 하여 일치할 경우 식별자의 K+1 비트에서 마지막 비트까지 리더에게 전송한다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 따라 제안하는 충돌 트리 기반 충돌 방지 알고리즘이 기존의 트리 워킹 알고리즘이나 쿼리 트리 알고리즘보다 좋은 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.
