A Novel Anti-Collision Algorithm for Large Scale of UHF RFID Tags Access Systems

When the radio frequency identification(RFID)system inventories multiple tags,the recognition rate will be seriously affected due to collisions.Based on the existing dynamic frame slotted Aloha(DFSA)algorithm,a sub-frame observation and cyclic redundancy check(CRC)grouping combined dynamic framed slotted Aloha(SUBF-CGDFSA)algorithm is proposed.The algorithm combines the precise estimation method of the quantity of large-scale tags,the large-scale tags grouping mechanism based on CRC pseudo-randomcharacteristics,and the Aloha anti-collision optimization mechanism based on sub-frame observation.By grouping tags and sequentially identifying themwithin subframes,it accurately estimates the number of remaining tags and optimizes frame length accordingly to improve efficiency in large-scale RFID systems.Simulation outcomes demonstrate that this proposed algorithmcan effectively break through the system throughput bottleneck of 36.8%,which is up to 30%higher than the existing DFSA standard scheme,and has more significant advantages,which is suitable for application in largescale RFID tags scenarios.

Not in Control,but Liable?Attributing Human Responsibility for Fully Automated Vehicle Accidents

Human agency has become increasingly limited in complex systems with increasingly automated decision-making capabilities.For instance,human occupants are passengers and do not have direct vehicle control in fully automated cars(i.e.,driverless cars).An interesting question is whether users are responsible for the accidents of these cars.Normative ethical and legal analyses frequently argue that individuals should not bear responsibility for harm beyond their control.Here,we consider human judgment of responsibility for accidents involving fully automated cars through three studies with seven experiments(N=2668).We compared the responsibility attributed to the occupants in three conditions:an owner in his private fully automated car,a passenger in a driverless robotaxi,and a passenger in a conventional taxi,where none of these three occupants have direct vehicle control over the involved vehicles that cause identical pedestrian injury.In contrast to normative analyses,we show that the occupants of driverless cars(private cars and robotaxis)are attributed more responsibility than conventional taxi passengers.This dilemma is robust across different contexts(e.g.,participants from China vs the Republic of Korea,participants with first-vs third-person perspectives,and occupant presence vs absence).Furthermore,we observe that this is not due to the perception that these occupants have greater control over driving but because they are more expected to foresee the potential consequences of using driverless cars.Our findings suggest that when driverless vehicles(private cars and taxis)cause harm,their users may face more social pressure,which public discourse and legal regulations should manage appropriately.

Parallel Response Ternary Query Tree for RFID Tag Anti-Collision

A tag-collision (or missed reads) in RFID system (Radio Frequency Identification) system degrades the identification efficiency. The so-called tag collision is that a reader cannot identify a tag when more than one tags respond to a reader at the same time. There are some major anti-collision protocols on resolving tag collision, e.g., ALOHA-based protocol, binary tree protocol, and Query Tree (QT) protocol. Up to date, most tag anti-collision protocols are QT protocols. QT protocols are categorized into M-ary query tree (QT). In the previous literature, choosing M = 3 (i.e., a ternary QT (TQT)) was proven to have the optimum performance for tag identification. Recently, Yeh et al. used parallel response approach to reduce the number of collisions. In this paper, we combine the partial response and TQT to propose an effective parallel response TQT (PRTQT) protocol. Simulation results reveal that our PRTQT outperforms Yeh et al.’s protocol and TQT protocol.

Correction of Corporation Value Assessment Model Based on Corporate Social Responsibility

The performance of corporate social responsibility is conducive to the con- tinuous improvement of their profitability, and promotes the upgrading of corporation value. However, it is difficult to confirm, calculate and check the costs and benefits brought by the implementation of corporate social responsibility under the current ac- counting theory system, so it is difficult to estimate whether the fulfillment of corpo- rate social responsibility has any effects on the corporation value assessment. Therefore, based on corporate social responsibility, the correction mode of corpora- tion value assessment is put forward.

An Adaptive Tag Anti-Collision Protocol in RFID Wireless Systems

A novel anti-collision algorithm in RFID wireless network is proposed.As it is put forward on the basis of collision tree(CT)and improved collision tree(lCT) anti-collision protocols,we call it adaptive collision tree protocol(ACT).The main novelty of this paper is that the AD strategy is introduced and used in ACT to decrease collisions and improve the tag system throughput.AD strategy means that query strings will divide into two or four branches adaptively according to the label quantity.This scheme can decrease both depth of query and collision timeslots,and avoid producing too much idle timeslots at the same time.Both theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the novel proposed anticollision protocol ACT outperforms the previous CT and ICT protocols in term of time complexity,system throughput,and communication complexity.

Collision and security issues are considered as barriers to RFID applications.In this paper,a parallelizable anti-collision based on chaotic sequence combined dynamic frame slotted aloha to build a high-efficiency RFID system is proposed.In the tags parallelizable identification,we design a Discrete Markov process to analyze the success identification rate.Then a mutual authentication security protocol merging chaotic anti-collision is presented.The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed identification scheme has less than 45.1%of the identification time slots compared with the OVSF-system when the length of the chaos sequence is 31.The success identification rate of the proposed chaotic anti-collision can achieve 63%when the number of the tag is100.We test the energy consumption of the presented authentication protocol,which can simultaneously solve the anti-collision and security of the UHF RFID system.

A Physical Layer Algorithm for Estimation of Number of Tags in UHF RFID Anti-Collision Design

A priori knowledge of the number of tags is crucial for anti-collision protocols in slotted UHF RFID systems.The number of tags is used to decide optimal frame length in dynamic frame slotted ALOHA(DFSA)and to adjust access probability in random access protocols.Conventional researches estimate the number of tags in MAC layer based on statistics of empty slots,collided slots and successful slots.Usually,a collision detection algorithm is employed to determine types of time slots.Only three types are distinguished because of lack of ability to detect the number of tags in single time slot.In this paper,a physical layer algorithm is proposed to detect the number of tags in a collided slot.Mean shift algorithm is utilized,and some properties of backscatter signals are investigated.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution in terms of low estimation error with a high SNR range,outperforming the existing MAC layer approaches.

A Novel Time-aware Frame Adjustment Strategy for RFID Anti-collision

Recently,object identification with radio frequency identification(RFID)technology is becoming increasingly popular.Identification time is a key performance metric to evaluate the RFID system.The present paper analyzes the deficiencies of the state-of-the-arts algorithms and proposes a novel sub-frame-based algorithm with adaptive frame breaking policy to lower the tag identification time for EPC global C1 Gen2 UHF RFID standard.Through the observation of slot statistics in a sub-frame,the reader estimates the tag quantity and efficiently calculates an optimal frame size to fit the unread tags.Only when the expected average identification time in the calculated frame size is less than that in the previous frame size,the reader starts the new frame.Moreover,the estimation of the proposed algorithm is implemented by the look-up tables,which allows dramatically reduction in the computational complexity.Simulation results show noticeable throughput and time efficiency improvements of the proposed solution over the existing approaches.

An Improved Binary Search Anti-Collision Protocol for RFID Tag Identification

Radio frequency identification(RFID)has been widespread used in massive items tagged domains.However,tag collision increases both time and energy consumption of RFID network.Tag collision can seriously affect the success of tag identification.An efficient anti-collision protocol is very crucially in RFID system.In this paper,an improved binary search anti-collision protocol namely BRTP is proposed to cope with the tag collision concern,which introduces a Bi-response mechanism.In Bi-response mechanism,two groups of tags allowed to reply to the reader in the same slot.According to Bi-response mechanism,the BRTP strengthens the tag identification of RFID network by reducing the total number of queries and exchanged messages between the reader and tags.Both theoretical analysis and numerical results verify the effectiveness of the proposed BRTP in various performance metrics including the number of total slots,system efficiency,communication complexity and total identification time.The BRTP is suitable to be applied in passive RFID systems.

Performance Analysis of RFID Framed Slotted Aloha Anti-Collision Protocol

In this paper, we develop a novel mathematical model to estimate the probability distribution function of the number of tags discovered after a certain number of interrogation rounds. In addition, the pdfs of the number of rounds needed to discover all the tags are also calculated. The estimation of such pdfs will be helpful in estimating the number of interrogation rounds and the optimal parameter configuration of the RFID system which in turn will be helpful in estimating the time needed to discover all tags. Our results show that the proposed model accurately predicts the tags detection probability. We then use the proposed model to optimally configure the reader parameters (i.e. the frame size and the number of interrogation rounds).
