Abstract

The procedure of the arbitration which is the tag collision is essential because the multiple tags response simultaneously in the same frequency to the request of the Reader. This procedure is known as Anti-collision and it is a key technology in the RFID system. In this paper, we propose the 4-Bit Pattern Slot Allocation(4-BPSA) algorithm for the high-speed identification of the multiple tags. The proposed algorithm is based on the tree algorithm using the time slot and identify the tag quickly and efficiently through accurate prediction using the a slot as a 4-bit pattern according to the slot allocation scheme. Through mathematical performance analysis, We proved that the 4-BPSA is an O(n) algorithm by analyzing the worst-case time complexity and the performance of the 4-BPSA is improved compared to existing algorithms. In addition, we verified that the 4-BPSA is performed the average 0.7 times the query per the Tag through MATLAB simulation experiments with performance evaluation of the algorithm and the 4-BPSA ensure stable performance regardless of the number of the tags.

RFID 시스템에서는 다중 태그가 동일한 주파수로 동시에 리더의 요청에 응답하기 때문에 발생하는 태그 충돌을 중재하는 절차가 필수적이다. 이 절차를 충돌 방지 알고리즘이라 하며 RFID 시스템에서 가장 핵심적인 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 다중 태그의 고속 식별을 위한 4-BPSA(4-Bit Pattern Slot Allocation) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 슬롯을 사용하는 트리 기반의 알고리즘으로서 4비트 패턴에 따른 슬롯 할당 기법을 이용하여 정확한 예측을 통해 빠르고 효율적으로 태그를 식별한다. 알고리즘에 대한 수학적 성능 분석을 통해 worst-case에서 4-BPSA의 시간 복잡도가 O(n)이며 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 성능이 개선되었음을 보인다. 또한 MATLAB을 이용한 시뮬레이션 실험을 통한 알고리즘의 성능 평가 결과에 의거해 4-BPSA 알고리즘이 태그당 평균 0.7회의 질의를 수행하며 태그의 개수와 상관없이 안정적인 성능을 보이는 것을 검증하였다.
