A Memory Efficient Anti-Collision Protocol to Identify Memoryless RFID Tags

This paper presents a memory efficient tree based anti-collision protocol to identify memoryless RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags that may be attached to products. The proposed deterministic scheme utilizes two bit arrays instead of stack or queue and requires only space, which is better than the earlier schemes that use at least space, where n is the length of a tag ID in a bit. Also, the size n of each bit array is independent of the number of tags to identify. Our simulation results show that our bit array scheme consumes much less memory space than the earlier schemes utilizing queue or stack.
