Abstract
RFID is an emerging auto identification technology that provides great features to ambient intelligence environments. It poses a number of research challenges such as interference decrease, security over the RF channel and throughput increase. When there are more than one tag responding to a reader, a collision can occur decreasing system’s throughput. That is called “the tag collision problem”. This problem is going to be analyzed in order to optimize system throughput. Reducing the total number of collisions, average throughput can be improved, and power consumption decreased. Thus, main anti-collision algorithms are presented and analyzed.
