본 논문에서는 UWB (Ultra Wide Band) 시스템에서 PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization)를 사용하는 향상된 TDoA (Time Difference of Arrival) 무선측위 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 TDoA 파라미터 재추정과 태그(Tag) 위치 재측정을 수행하는 두 단계로 구성된다. 이들 두 단계에서 PSO 알고리즘은 무선측위 성능 향상을 위해 고용된다. 첫 번째 단계에서 TDoA 추정 오차를 줄이기 위해, 제안된 기법은 전형적인 TDoA 무선측위 방식으로부터 얻어진 TDoA 파라미터를 재추정한다. 두 번째 단계에서 무선측위 오차를 최소화시키기 위해, 첫 번째 단계에서 추정된 TDoA 파라미터를 가지고 제안된 기법은 태그의 위치를 다시 측정한다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 기법은 LoS (Line-of-Sight)와 NLoS (Non-Line-of-Sight) 채널 환경에서 모두 전형적인 TDoA 무선측위 방식에 비해 우수한 무선측위 성능을 달성하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

An RFID systems employ efficient Anti-Collision Algorithms (ACAs) to enhance the performance in various applications. The EPC-Global G2 RFID system utilizes Frame Slotted Aloha (FSA) as its ACA. One of the common approaches used to maximize the system performance (tag identification efficiency) of FSA-based RFID systems involves finding the optimal value of the frame length relative to the contending population size of the RFID tags. Several analytical models for finding the optimal frame length have been developed; however, they are not perfectly optimized because they lack precise characterization for the timing details of the underlying ACA. In this paper, we investigate this promising direction by precisely characterizing the timing details of the EPC-Global G2 protocol and use it to derive a precise-optimal frame length model. The main objective of the model is to determine the optimal frame length value for the estimated number of tags that maximizes the performance of an RFID system. However, because precise estimation of the contending tags is difficult, we utilize a parametric-heuristic approach to maximize the system performance and propose two simple schemes based on the obtained optimal frame length-namely, Improved Dynamic-Frame Slotted Aloha (ID-FSA) and Exponential Random Partitioning-Frame Slotted Aloha (ERP-FSA). The ID-FSA scheme is based on the tag set estimation and frame size update mechanisms, whereas the ERP-FSA scheme adjusts the contending tag population in such a way that the applied frame size becomes optimal. The results of simulations conducted indicate that the ID-FSA scheme performs better than several well-known schemes in various conditions, while the ERP-FSA scheme performs well when the frame size is small.

In this paper, we propose a method for a mobile robot to estimate a specific location of a service provision target using a beacon-tag for the purpose of providing location-based services (LBS) to users in an indoor environment. To estimate the location, the irregular characteristics and error factors of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) generated from the beacon are analyzed, and the distance conversion function is derived from the RSSI data extracted by applying a Gaussian filter. Then, the distance data converted from the plurality of beacons estimates an indoor location through a triangulation technique. After that, the improvement in the location estimation is analyzed by applying the temporal confidence reasoning technique. The possibility of providing a LBS of a mobile robot was confirmed through a location estimation experiment for a plurality of designated locations in an indoor environment.

RFID 시스템에서 다수의 태그가 동시에 자신의 ID를 리더기에 전송하게 되면 충돌로 인해 리더기의 태그 인식 시간이 지연 된다. 따라서 리더기의 태그 인식시간을 줄이기 위한 효율적인 충돌방지 기술이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 DFSA(Dynamic Framed Slotted Aloha)를 기반으로 태그 수를 추정하여 충돌을 피하는 새로운 방식에 대해서 제안한 후 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존의 방법과 성능을 비교한다.

In this paper, a scheme to increase the throughput of RFID systems is presented, which considers the capture effect in the context of framed ALOHA protocol. Under the capture model in which the probability of one tag is identified successfully depending on the number of tags involved in the collision, two probabilistic methods for estimating the unknown number of tags are proposed. The first method is the maximum likelihood estimation method, and the second method is an approximate algorithm for reducing the computational time. The optimal frame size condition to maximize the system throughput by considering the capture effect is also presented.

This paper considers a localization problem in time difference of arrival (TDOA)-based radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. To estimate the position of a target tag, this paper suggests three localization algorithms that use benchmark tags. The benchmark tags are the same type as the target tag, but either the locations or distance of the benchmark tags are known. Two algorithms use the benchmarks for auxiliary information to improve the estimation accuracy of the other localization algorithms such as least squared estimator (LSE). The other one utilizes the benchmarks as essential tags to estimate the location. Numerical tests show that the localization accuracy can be improved by using benchmark tags especially when an algorithm using the LSE is applied to the localization problem. Furthermore, this paper shows that our benchmark algorithm is valuable when the measurement noise is large.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an emerging wireless communication technology which allows objects to be identified automatically. The tag anti-collision is a significant issue for fast identifying tags due to the shared wireless channel between tags and the reader during communication. The EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2 which uses Q algorithm for the anti-collision is widely used in many applications such as consumer electronic device and supply chain. However, the increasing application of EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2 which requires the dynamic environment makes the efficiency decrease critically. Furthermore, its frame length (size) determination and frame termination lead to the suboptimal efficiency. A new anti-collision algorithm is proposed to deal with the two problems for large-scale RFID systems. The algorithm has higher performance than the Q algorithm in the dynamic environment. Some simulations are given to illustrate the performance.

It is very important to arrange landmarks when a mobile robot needs to measure its own location. So, it has been discussed often how to arrange landmarks in the optimal way until now. We, there, chose the RFID (Radio frequency Identification) tags as landmarks which can be observed by a mobile robot, and demonstrated the possibility of the optimal arrangement of them. For this work first, we defined the optimization problem and its parameters for the arrangement of tags. Second, we proposed the algorithm which can be applied to the optimization problem. Finally we could obtain closely optimal and practical arrangement with the minimum number of landmarks which satisfied the necessary condition by experimentation.

Recently, the RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) technology has gained significant attention. One of the performance issues in RFID systems is to resolve the tag collision among responses from RFID tags. In this paper, we proposed a new scheme for estimation of the number of tags in the reader filed. The scheme is used by anti-collision algorithm to identify multiple tags efficiently. And we also present the simulation result that shows the proposed scheme to estimate tags efficiently and also to improve the systems efficiency.
