This paper proposed a new transponder detection method to reduce tag recognition time and simplify anti-collision process in RFID systems. In conventional systems, a transponder in detectable area is passively recognized by responding to a reader command. In addition, if there are multiple tags in the area, a collision between tags occurs by responding at the same time to a command and anti-collision process begins. In the proposed method, tags are actively recognized without any command from a reader which results to reducing a tag recognition time and simplifying anti-collision process. To compare transponder recognition time, the process of transponder recognition in conventional systems is analysed. A circuit to detect transponder directly is developed and antenna voltage variation of a reader in the appearance of multiple transponders is analysed for the implementation of the proposed method.

In the RFID system, multiple tags respond in the process of identifying multiple tags in the reader's interrogation zone, resulting in collisions. Tag collision occurs when two or more tags respond to one reader, so that the reader cannot identify any tags. These collisions make it hard for the reader to identify all tags within the interrogation zone and delays the identifying time. In some cases, the reader cannot identify any tags. The reader needs the anti-collision algorithm which can quickly identify all the tags in the interrogation zone. The proposed algorithm efficiently divides tag groups through an efficient separation to respond, preventing collisions. Moreover, the proposed algorithm identifies tags without checking all the bits in the tags. The prediction with efficient separation reduces the number of the requests from the reader.

RFID 시스템의 경우 태그 인식으로부터 얻어 낼 수 있는 정보에는 태그 아이디, 태그를 읽어 들인 리더기와 안테나의 주소, 태그가 읽힌 시간 등의 기본적인 정보뿐이다. 일반적으로 RFID 시스템은 미들웨어와 애플리케이션의 두 부분으로 구성되는데 미들웨어에서는 태그 인식 작업을 수행하고 애플리케이션에서는 미들웨어에서 인식한 태그들의 정보를 바탕으로 비즈니스 로직을 수행한다. 하지만 애플리케이션에서 비즈니스 로직을 수행하기 위해서 태그들의 기본적인 정보만을 이용하기 때문에 별도의 복잡한 처리 과정을 거쳐야만 한다. 만일, 애플리케이션에서는 애플리케이션에게 의미 있는 것을 명시적으로 정의하고 미들웨어에서는 이에 대한 처리를 애플리케이션과 독립적으로 수행하여 준다면 애플리케이션을 만드는 일이 쉽게 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 RFID에 기반한 자동 아이디 인식 시스템을 제작할 경우 실시간으로 이루어지는 태그 인식의 효율적인 처리를 위한 이벤트 모델을 정의하고 구현에 대한 방안을 제시한다.

RFID 시스템은 전자태그를 상품에 부착하여 리더를 통해 태그를 인식함으로써 상품의 정보 및 위치정보를 추적할 수 있다. 태그 객체의 위치정보는 시간에 따라 궤적 정보가 누적되는 이동체와 유사한 특성을 가지지만 이동체의 위치와 달리 태그의 위치는 리더의 위치로 인식되며 위치보고가 리더의 인식영역 안에서만 이루어지므로 시간축에 평행한 interval의 형태를 나타난다. 태그가 리더의 인식영역에 들어와 나가지 않으면 궤적이 완성되지 않아 리더에 머물고 있는 태그의 궤적을 표현할 수 없으므로 질의 시 이러한 태그를 검색할 수 없다. 시공간 이동체 색인에서는 이러한 태그의 특성을 표현하기 힘들기 때문에 태그의 특성을 고려한 색인이 필요하게 되었다. TPIR-Tree(Time Parameterized Interval R-tree)는 시간 매개변수 간격으로 태그의 interval을 정의하여 리더안에 머무는 태그의 interval을 표현할 수 있다. 그러나 각 interval이 시공간적으로 연결되어 있지 않아 색인 상에서 태그의 궤적을 검색하는 것은 매우 높은 검색 비용을 가지는 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 태그 궤적 검색 시 TPIR-Tree의 높은 검색 비용문제를 해결한 $TPIR^{*}$-Tree를 제안한다. 제안된 $TPIR^{*}$-Tree는 색인에서 태그의 궤적 정보를 유지할 수 있도록 하기 위해서 시간적으로 연결되지 않은 각 interval을 연결하기 위한 기법을 제시하고 있다. 또한. interval을 색인에 삽입할 때 연결정보를 유지하기 위해 이전 interval을 효율적으로 검색할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 있다.

In this paper, Implementation of location estimation system using wireless communication technology based on Zigbee. Using wireless communication technology, calculation more accurate location information and service location information to the H/W and S/W has been developed. Receivers, repeaters, smart tag(location device), was developed for implement a location estimation system. The smart tag is built the 120~130KHz, 13~14MHz, 2.0~3.0GHz radio frequency tag.

One of RFID features is that each RFID tag has a unique identifying code. Logistic System utilizes RFID tag as location tracing, understanding stock or etc. On the other hand, there is a problem of overall lower recognition rate by getting the information of non-mobility tags with no need for reading. To solve this problem, we trace and analyze variation of moving and moveless RFID tag sensitivity by the hour. In analyzed data, we verify that tag sensitivity of mobile RFID is gradually increase while non-mobility tag has same intensity value. In order to detect mobile tag, we generate a function using Matlab with analyzed data and separate moving tags from non-mobility tags by software. As a result, we can confirm that non-mobility tags are detected by software and recognition rate of RFID tag is improved by separating moveless tag.

RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, is a technology of automated identification replacing bar-code. RFID technology has advantages that it recognizes fast and it is strong to contamination using wireless communication. However, there are difficult problems that should be solved for popularization of RFID. Among of these, tag anti-collision problem is dealed in this paper. It affected the performance of RFID system directly. This paper analyzes conventional algorithms and proposes new algorithms of tag anti-collision. The algorithm proposed was composed of appropriate properties to each phase of distribution and recognition as hybrid between ALOHA-based algorithm and QT-based algorithm. At phase of distribution, the number of tags recognizing at a frame was reduced using ALOHA-based algorithm. It addressed the delay problem because of deep depth of tree. At phase of recognition, it solved ALOHA-based chronic problem that couldn't recognize all the tags sometimes. Moreover, QTR algorithm that recognize by reversed tag IDs was adopted for the performance. The FQTR algorithm proposed in this paper showed brilliant performance as compared with convention algorithms by simulation.

Location awareness is one of the key functions to build U-city. Recently, many of works for location-aware systems are emerging to commercially apply to on-going large-scale apartment complex. As dwellers or cars being attached with active tags are moving in the U-city complex, the active tags periodically broadcast their own identifiers mu routers fixed along the street or in a building use those information to calculate location of thorn. There are several issues to be considered for such an environment. In this paper we propose i) a new architecture for location-aware system considering such issues ii) technical issues to implement it using active tags, and iii) a mathematical analytic model to investigate overall performance and verify it by comparing with actual experimental results. Through mathematical analysis, we can show that it is more efficient for the routers to send location signals than the tags do. We also show that there are several additional services available in the apartment complex. We conduscted several experiments hi a real ease parking lot to show that our system can locate the location of dwellers or cars.

Reliable Multi-Reader RFID identification is one of issues in Multi-Reader RFID realization program in recent. And the Multi-Reader RFID reader has difficulty to obtain reliable data in data capture layer. The reason is that unreliable readings such as a false positive reading and a false negative reading and missed readings can happen by reader collision problems, noise, or the mobility of tagged objects. We introduce performance metrics to solve these reader problems. We propose three solutions the Minimum Overlapped Read Zone (MORZ) with Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), the Spatial-Temporal Division Access (STDA) method, and double bigger size of tags attached on the object. To show the improvement of the proposed methods, we calculate tag's successful read rates in a smart office, which consists of Multi-Reader RFID systems.
