Abstract

Being able to provide a relatively easy and inexpensive way to collect data, portable readers have gained increasing popularity in wide-ranging RFID applications. In order tomaximize the reader's battery life, efficient tag identification protocols are of paramount importance in largescale passive radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. This paper proposes a time-and energy-aware protocol based onM-ary collision tree (MCT) for efficient RFID tag identification. Thanks to Manchester encoding, the proposed MCT protocol recursively divides colliding tags into M subsets with at least two nonempty ones according to the information of log(2)M colliding bits. Through the new MCT recognition process, MCT can effectively identify all the tags within its reading range. Theoretic analysis demonstrates that it takes the proposed MCT protocol fewer numbers of collision slots and message bits to identify all the tags, which reduces not only the identification time but also the energy cost. Simulation results are also presented to show that compared with other benchmark works, the proposed MCT protocol is able to reduce the average identification time and energy cost by at least 16.12% and 15.73%, respectively.
