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.

Use of the “Veda-Lab Easy Reader+” for the Determination of T3, T4 and TSH Hormones in the Mountainous Population of Benin: Case of Natitingou

The thyroid, an endocrine gland located at the base of the neck, produces thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)). The production of these hormones is possible by iodine and other nutrients such as selenium and certain vitamins. To assess the thyroid disturbances in the mountain population of Benin, a survey was conducted in Natitingou, a mountain town located in the department of Atacora, in the northwest of Benin, on a sample of thirty (30) adults (15 men and 15 women), most of whom are educated. The results of the questionnaire revealed that 43% of the surveyed population acknowledged having knowledge on the mentioned subject and have dietary habits based on the consumption of seafood, and also legumes (20%). The examination of the serum results of the dosage of T3, T4 and TSH hormones revealed cases of thyroid disturbances in the region (36.32% in men and 44.98% in women). The analysis of a comparative table including the “VEDALAB Easy Reader+” and five (05) other readers, presents the performance, reading techniques, principles, advantages and disadvantages of each device. Pending further studies, some recommendations were made at the end of this study to the academic authorities regarding probable cases of dysthyroidism for which additional examinations are required and an awareness for the improvement of dietary habits.

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).

A Frame Breaking Based Hybrid Algorithm for UHF RFIDAnti-Collision

Multi-tag collision imposes a vital detrimental effect on reading performanceof an RFID system. In order to ameliorate such collision problem and to improve thereading performance, this paper proposes an efficient tag identification algorithm termedas the Enhanced Adaptive Tree Slotted Aloha (EATSA). The key novelty of EATSA is toidentify the tags using grouping strategy. Specifically, the whole tag set is divided intogroups by a frame of size F. In cases multiple tags fall into a group, the tags of the groupare recognized by the improved binary splitting (IBS) method whereas the rest tags arewaiting in the pipeline. In addition, an early observation mechanism is introduced toupdate the frame size to an optimum value fitting the number of tags. Theoretical analysisand simulation results show that the system throughput of our proposed algorithm canreach as much as 0.46, outperforming the prior Aloha-based protocols.

A Physical Layer Network Coding Based Tag Anti-Collision Algorithm for RFID System

In RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)system,when multiple tags are in the operating range of one reader and send their information to the reader simultaneously,the signals of these tags are superimposed in the air,which results in a collision and leads to the degrading of tags identifying efficiency.To improve the multiple tags’identifying efficiency due to collision,a physical layer network coding based binary search tree algorithm(PNBA)is proposed in this paper.PNBA pushes the conflicting signal information of multiple tags into a stack,which is discarded by the traditional anti-collision algorithm.In addition,physical layer network coding is exploited by PNBA to obtain unread tag information through the decoding operation of physical layer network coding using the conflicting information in the stack.Therefore,PNBA reduces the number of interactions between reader and tags,and improves the tags identification efficiency.Theoretical analysis and simulation results using MATLAB demonstrate that PNBA reduces the number of readings,and improve RFID identification efficiency.Especially,when the number of tags to be identified is 100,the average needed reading number of PNBA is 83%lower than the basic binary search tree algorithm,43%lower than reverse binary search tree algorithm,and its reading efficiency reaches 0.93.

A Dynamic Multi-ary Query Tree Protocol for Passive RFID Anti-collision

In this paper,a dynamic multi-ary query tree(DMQT)anti-collision protocol for Radio Frequency Identification(RFID)systems is proposed for large scale passive RFID tag identification.The proposed DMQT protocol is based on an iterative process between the reader and tags which identifies the position of collision bits through map commands and dynamically encodes them to optimize slots allocation through query commands.In this way,the DMQT completely eliminates empty slots and greatly reduces collision slots,which in turn reduces the identification time and energy costs.In addition and differently to other known protocols,the DMQT does not need to estimate the number of tags,reducing the protocol implementation complexity and eliminating the uncertainty caused by the estimation algorithm.A numerical analysis shows that DMQT has better performance than other algorithms for a number of tags larger than 300.Meanwhile,when the number of tags is 2000 and the tag identity(ID)length is 128 bits,the total identification time is 2.58 s and the average energy cost for a tag identification is 1.2 mJ,which are 16.9%and 10.4%less than those of state-of-the-art algorithms,respectively.In addition,a DMQT extension based on ACK command has also been presented to deal with capture effect and avoid missing identification.

Synchronous Dynamic Adjusting: An Anti-Collision Algorithm for an RF-UCard System

An RF-UCard system is a contactless smartcard system with multiple chip operating systems and multiple applications. A multi-card collision occurs when more than one card within the reader’s read field and thus lowers the efficiency of the system. This paper presents a novel and enhanced algorithm to solve the multi-card collision problems in an RF-UCard system. The algorithm was originally inspired from framed ALOHA-based anti-collision algorithms applied in RFID systems. To maximize the system efficiency, a synchronous dynamic adjusting (SDA) scheme that adjusts both the frame size in the reader and the response probability in cards is developed and evaluated. Based on some mathematical results derived from the Poisson process and the occupancy problem, the algorithm takes the estimated card quantity and the new arriving cards in the current read cycle into consideration to adjust the frame size for the next read cycle. Also it changes the card response probability according to the request commands sent from the reader. Simulation results show that SDA outperforms other ALOHA-based anti-collision algorithms applied in RFID systems.
