Abstract

Radio frequency identification technology (RFID) is currently widely used in different applications such as inventory management, tracking or monitoring because of its high identification quality and low-cost. However, one of the key issues affecting the efficiency of RFID systems is tag collision. Among several solutions for tag collision, binary tree based anti-collision algorithms are commonly used. This paper presents a performance analysis of a list of recently proposed binary tree based anti-collision algorithms. The performance analysis is based on three criteria that include the search time, the data traffic and the system efficiency. The analysis shows a wide range of performances and that all anti-collision algorithms are applicable in different situations depending on the number of tags to be identified. Results show that, the adaptive-N tree and the optimized binary search algorithms offer the best performances.
