This thesis presents HiQ, a hierarchical, online learning algorithm that finds dynamic solutions to the Reader Collision Problem in RFID systems. When the transmissions from one reader interfere with the operation of another reader, a reader collision occurs. ̊ The objective of the Reader Collision Problem is to minimize the reader collisions experienced by RFID readers while using the minimum n...

RFID is core technology in the area of ubiquitous computing.To identify the objects begins with the reader query to the tag attached to the subject. When multiple tags exist in the reader’s interrogation zone, these tags simultaneously respond to the reader’s query, resulting in collision. This kind collision makes the reader to take long time to identify tags within the reader’s identification...

As the adoption of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology is increasing, many applications require a dense reader deployment. In such environments, reader-to-reader interference becomes a critical problem, so the proposal of effective anti-collision algorithms and their analysis are particularly important. Existing reader-to-reader anti-collision algorithms are typically analyzed ...

The performance of a passive RFID system in a dense multi-reader environment is limited by both reader-to-reader interference and reader-to-tag interference. In this paper, we formulate a practical RFID system model which takes into account the non-linear demodulation of the tags and the transmission spectrum of the readers. Using this model, we derive a novel linear programming formulation to ...

The reader-to-reader collision in an RFID system is a challenging problem for communications technology. In order to model the interference between RFID readers, different interference models have been proposed, mainly based on two approaches: single and additive interference. The former only considers the interference from one reader within a certain range, whereas the latter takes into accoun...

RFID system is a wireless technology that can transfer data between tags and readers via radio frequency. In an RFID network, readers are located close to each other to obtain optimal connectivity and sufficient coverage. In such an environment, which is called dense reader environment (DRE).Different types of collisions such as Reader-to-Reader and Reader-to-Tag ones, often lead to serious pro...

-Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification system working through radio frequency (RF). Tag collision occurs while two or more than two tags deliver their unique identification (UID) to the reader. Since collision, which would significantly affect the efficacy of RFID, has been one of the major study issues for RFID technology, we have developed a solution, bit compet...
