摘要

Recently, RFID technology has come into end-user applications for monitoring, tracking, and so forth. In RFID system, a reader identifies a set of tags over a shared wireless channel. When multiple tags communicate with the same reader simultaneously, all packages will be lost and no tag can be recognized, which is known as tag collision. Tag collision is a significantly important issue for fast tag identification. We firstly make a thorough analysis among a variety of traditional RFID anticollision algorithms. Then a novel hybrid anticollision algorithm called T-GDFSA is proposed. Tags are assigned to different groups based on the initial tag estimation and then experience several dynamic read frames for identification. When a collision occurs in current slot, a tree-based recursive process will be deployed immediately. T-GDFSA combines the advantages of ALOHA-based and tree-based together and acquires higher system throughput by reducing unnecessary idle and collision slots and lower communication complexity by decreasing the data transmitted, which makes it identify tags faster with less power consumption. Simulations show that the theoretical values match well the simulation results. Moreover, T-GDFSA also has a good tolerance for the inaccuracy of initial tag estimation and the length variation of tag's ID.
