Abstract

Even though object identification is its main objective, it is generally accepted that there are some technological challenges that should be addressed in order to exploit the full potential of RFID (Radio frequency identification). The anti-collision problem is one of them. Despite the different proposed methods, it still needs further study on how to improve identification ability. This paper presents a novel algorithm with IDMA (Interleave division multiple access) scheme to resolve the anti-collision problem for RFID. IDMA, which is one of the most promising technologies for high data rate wireless systems, can be regarded as a special case of CDMA (Code division multiple access). In contrast to CDMA, which separates tags by signatures or spreading codes, distinct interleavers are the only means to separate tags for IDMA. In this paper, a RFID based IDMA receiver is proposed and compared to classical systems. Simulation results demonstrate that this system provides an improvement in performance in terms of bit error rate in dense scenarios (large number of tags) and it offers an efficient alternative to systems with classical spreading sequence.
