A Collision Resolution Algorithm for RFID Using Modified Dynamic Tree With Bayesian Tag Estimation

摘要

A new tree-based anti-collision protocol for radio-frequency identification systems is proposed to achieve a very high tag identification efficiency. The proposed algorithm works in two phases. In the first phase, the number of competing tags is estimated through the proposed Bayesian estimation technique, while in the second phase, tags are identified using our modified dynamic tree algorithm. The system efficiency is mathematically derived and verified through simulation. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a tag identification system efficiency of 45% and a time system efficiency of 78.5%, thus outperforming any existing collision resolution algorithms.
