Abstract:

In a mobile RFID system, a large number of tags move in and out of the system continuously, so that the reader has very limited time to recognize all the tags. As a result, the effective and efficient identification of tags in mobile environments is a more challenging problem compared to conventional static RFID systems. In this paper, we propose an efficient bit-detecting (EBD) protocol to accelerate the reading process of large-scale mobile RFID systems. In these systems, some previously recognized tags, i.e., known tags, may stay in the reader's reading range for two consecutive reading cycles, and some unknown tags may newly participate in the current reading cycle. In the proposed EBD protocol, a new bit monitoring method is proposed to detect the presence of known tags using a small number of slots, and to retrieve their IDs from the back-end database. Next, an M -ary bit-detecting tree recognition method is proposed to rapidly recognize unknown tags without generating any idle slots. This new protocol is shown to perform better than existing methods reported in the literature. Both theoretic and simulation results are present to demonstrate that the proposed protocol is superior to existing protocols in terms of lower time cost.
