This paper presents a memory efficient tree based anti-collision protocol to identify memoryless RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags that may be attached to products. The proposed deterministic scheme utilizes two bit arrays instead of stack or queue and requires only ${\Theta}(n)$ space, which is better than the earlier schemes that use at least $O(n^2)$ space, where n is the length of a tag ID in a bit. Also, the size n of each bit array is independent of the number of tags to identify. Our simulation results show that our bit array scheme consumes much less memory space than the earlier schemes utilizing queue or stack.

In many Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications, the reader recognizes the tags within its scope repeatedly. For these applications, some algorithms such as the adaptive query splitting algorithm (AQS) and the novel semi-blocking AQS (SBA) were proposed. In these algorithms, a staying tag retransmits its ID to the reader to be identified, even though the ID of the tag is stored in the reader's memory. When the length of tag ID is long, the reader consumes a long time to identify the staying tags. To overcome this deficiency, we propose a slot allocated blocking anti-collision algorithm (SABA). In SABA, the reader assigns a unique slot to each tag in its range by using a slot allocation mechanism. Based on the allocated slot, each staying tag only replies a short data to the reader in the identification process. As a result, the amount of data transmitted by the staying tags is reduced greatly and the identification rate of the reader is improved effectively. The identification rate and the data amount transmitted by tags of SABA are analyzed theoretically and verified by various simulations. The simulation and analysis results show that the performance of SABA is superior to the existing algorithms significantly.

In 13.56MHz RFID system of Auto-ID center, STAC protocol is defined as an anti-collision algorithm for multiple tag reading. In STAC protocol, the reader uses the tag number estimation scheme to determine the number of slots for the next reply round. If errors occur in the estimated number of tags, the identification performances will be degraded due to a lot of collision or idle slots. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an ERPB algorithm that the reader cancels the reply round when it experiences a series of collision or idle slots during the current round. The transmission probability control for the tag is also applied to the proposed algorithm. Through simulations, it is demonstrated that the collision rate for the proposed scheme is about 39% lower than STAC protocol. Therefore, the proposed scheme can achieve faster tag identification time compared with STAC protocol due to the low collision rate.

In this paper, we propose an improved anti-collision algorithm for multi tag interrogation in ubiquitous sensor network(USN) and show the result of simulation for multi tag interrogation in RFID systems. We have analyzed an EPC(Electronic Product Code) protocol which specifies the physical and logical requirements for a passive-backscatter Reader-Talk-First(RTF) RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) system operating in the $860MHz{\sim}960MHz$ frequency range. We have also designed and implemented the simulator of the RFID system based on the EPC protocol. Finally, we find that proposed algorithm works better than an existing algorithm.

An anti-collision protocol which tries to minimize the collision probability and identification time is the most important factor in all identification technologies. This paper focuses on methods to improve the efficiency of tag's process in identification systems. Our scheme, Binary Slotted Query Tree (BSQT) algorithm, is a memoryless protocol that identifies an object's ID more efficiently by removing the unnecessary prefixes of the traditional Query Tree (QT) algorithm. With enhanced QT algorithm, the reader will broadcast 1 bit and wait the response from the tags but the difference in this scheme is the reader will listen in 2 slots (slot 1 is for 0 bit Tags and slot 2 is for 1 bit Tags). Base on the responses the reader will decide next broadcasted bit. This will help for the reader to remove some unnecessary broadcasted bits which no tags will response. Numerical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme decreases the tag identification time by reducing the overall number of request.

LED-ID (Light Emitting Diode - Identification) is one of the key technologies for identification, data transmission, and illumination simultaneously. This is the new paradigm in the identification technology environment. There are many issues are still now challenging to achieve high performance in LED-ID system. Collision issue is one of them. Actually this is the most significant issue in all identification system. LED-ID system also suffers from collision problem. In our system, collision occurs when two or more readers transmit data to tag at the same time or vice versa. There are many anti-collision protocols to resolve this problem; such as: Slotted ALOHA, Basic Frame Slotted ALOHA, Query Tree, Tree Splitting, and Q-Algorithm etc. In this paper, we propose modified Q-Algorithm to resolve collision at tag. The proposed protocol is based on Q-Algorithm and used the information of arrived readers to a tag from neighbor. The information includes transmitting slot number of readers and the number of readers that can be arrived in next slot. Our proposed protocol can reduce the numbers of collision slot and the successful time to identify all readers. In this paper our simulation and theoretical results are presented.

Generally, RFID systems are composed of one reader and several passive tags, and share the single wireless channel. For this reason, collisions occurwhen more than two tags simultaneously respond to the reader's inquiry. To achieve this problem, many papers, such as QT[8], HCT[10], BSCTTA[2], and QT-BCS[9], have been proposed. In this paper, we propose the tree-based anti-collision algorithm using a bit change sensing unit (TABCS) based on BSCTTA algorithm. The proposed algorithm can identify bits returned from tags through bit change sensing unit, even if multi collisions occur. So, it rapidly generates the unique prefix to indentify each tag, and reduce the total of bits. As the result, the cost of identifying all tag IDs is relatively reduced as compared with existing algorithms. It is verified through simulations that the proposed algorithm surpass other existing algorithms.

In the RFID system, multiple tags respond in the process of identifying multiple tags in the reader's interrogation zone, resulting in collisions. Tag collision occurs when two or more tags respond to one reader, so that the reader cannot identify any tags. These collisions make it hard for the reader to identify all tags within the interrogation zone and delays the identifying time. In some cases, the reader cannot identify any tags. The reader needs the anti-collision algorithm which can quickly identify all the tags in the interrogation zone. The proposed algorithm efficiently divides tag groups through an efficient separation to respond, preventing collisions. Moreover, the proposed algorithm identifies tags without checking all the bits in the tags. The prediction with efficient separation reduces the number of the requests from the reader.

This paper proposes a QT_rev algorithm for identifying multiple tags. The proposed QT_rev algorithm is based on the query tree algorithm. In the algorithm, the tag will send all the bits of their identification codes when the query string matches the first bits of their identification codes. On the other hand, in the QT_rev algorithm, the tag will send the remaining bits of their identification codes. After the leader receives all the responses of the tags, it knows which bit is collided. Therefore, if the collision occurs in the last bit, the reader can identify two tags simultaneously without further query. According to the simulation results, the QT_rev algorithm outperforms the QT algorithm in terms of the number of queries and the number of response bits.
