Abstract

RFID collision occurs when two or more tags attempt to send aframe of data along the same communication channel at the sametime. Collision typically results in false alarm. In this paper theauthors simulate the communication flow between tags and theirreader to investigate how acceptable reading time (defined as thereading time required to keep the rate of false alarms below 5%) isinfluenced by the size of tag population, data frame length, meanthinking time, and the statistical distribution of thinking time.The paper presents the results of the investigation and the effectof each parameter.
