Abstract:

We present the Colorwave algorithm, a simple, distributed, on-line algorithm for the reader collision problem in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. RFID systems are increasingly being used in applications, such as those experienced in supply chain management, which require RFID readers to operate in close proximity to one another. Readers physically located near one another may interfere with one another's operation. Such reader collisions must be minimized to ensure the correct operation of the RFID system. The Colorwave algorithm yields on-line solutions that are near the optimal static solutions. The dynamic nature of the algorithm enables the RFID system to automatically adapt to changes in the system and in the operating environment of the system.
