Experimental Study on Mobile RFID Performance

Abstract

Abstract. An increasing number of applications use RFID in their design, but there is a lack of understanding of how mobility affects RFID performance in these applications. Unlike static RFID experiments, mobile RFID studies require more expensive equipment that are unavailable to most researchers. In this paper, we conduct machine-aided experiments to study the effects of mobility on RFID. Our results show that up to 50 RFID tags moving at speeds up to 2 m/s can be reliably read.

Performance of Passive UHF RFID Systems in Practice

“…It was determined that the minimum distance between tags should be 4 cm in order to be able to detect all the tags. Other experimentation is described in [19], where an RFID reader is placed on the side of the conveyer belt whose speed is 2 m/s and tags are attached on boxes placed on the conveyer belt. The system is first calibrated to avoid unwanted reads.…”

Capture-Aware Identification of Mobile RFID Tags With Unreliable Channels

“…Many works also [31][32][33][34] focus on the reading performance analysis of RFID anti-collision algorithms by using experimental verification. T he l iterature [ 31] e valuates the reading performance of EPC C1 Gen2 RFID system in a realistic setting.…”

“…The presented findings show that the physical layer effects are vital factors influencing t he reading performance of a practical RFID system. The authors in [32] carry out extensive experiments on an industrial conveyor belt to study the impact of mobility on RFID reading performance. In [33], an iterative tag search protocol (ITSP) is presented to solve the specific tags search problem under the noisy channel.…”

Efficient Tag Identification in Mobile RFID Systems

“…In [4], Ramakrishnan et al describe the first comprehensive benchmark suite for passive UHF RFID tags. In [17] Ren et al performed extensive experiments on an industrial conveyor belt to determine the effects of mobility on RFID reader performance. In [18] Jeffery et al conduct experiments in realistic settings and find that within each reader's detection range, there are two distinct regions: major detection region and minor detection region.…”
