Introduction To Anti-Collision Algorithms And Estimation Methods In Rfid Systems, Masoud Shakiba Oct 2014

Introduction To Anti-Collision Algorithms And Estimation Methods In Rfid Systems, Masoud Shakiba

The main objective of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems is to provide fast identification for tagged objects. The noteworthy advantage of RFID technology, is its capability to identify objects simultaneously. However, when radio frequency signals are emitted simultaneously, there is a probability of collision occurrence, and thereby resulting in a waste of resources. Collision is a time-consuming event that reduces the performance of RFID systems. Consequently, several anti-collision algorithms have been proposed in the literature, attempt to decrease the collision occurrence probability. In almost all the existing anti-collision algorithms, a prior knowledge of the number of tags has a significant …


L2er: Low-Latency And Energy-Based Routing Protocol For Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks, Rana Asif Rehman, Byung-Seo Kim Sep 2014

L2er: Low-Latency And Energy-Based Routing Protocol For Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks, Rana Asif Rehman, Byung-Seo Kim

Cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHNs) are active, self-organized, and dynamic networks, in which cognitive users can communicate with each other in an ad hoc fashion. Various delay and energy-based routing protocols have been proposed for CRAHNs. However, these protocols do not consider the delay and node energy in the routing process, which can significantly affect performance. Delay and node energy are important factors in ad hoc networks in which devices have limited power. In this paper, we propose a new routing protocol, named low-latency and energy-based routing (L2ER) protocol; it considers both delay and energy for the routing decisions …


Introduction To Rfid Technology And Collision Problem, Masoud Shakiba May 2014

Introduction To Rfid Technology And Collision Problem, Masoud Shakiba

Masoud Shakiba

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is a new communication technology to identify the objects using electromagnetic waves. The main superiority of RFID systems in comparison with other identification systems, such as barcodes, is its ability in simultaneous identification process, but when more than one tag wants to communicate with the reader, collision problem occurs and wastes time and increases energy consumption. This reduces efficiency of the identification process in RFID systems. Collision problem happens when the reader has to identify more than one tag at the same time. Consequently, it is essential to develop an efficient anti-collision algorithm to save …
