| Abstract | Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become one of the emerging technologies for automated identification of objects. RFID can potentially substitute the bar code technology that is predominantly used for object identification. The application areas of RFID range from basic warehouse inventory management to tracking objects, cattle, etc. Most research works has been carried out to identify objects that are relatively stationary with respect to an RFID reader. In this thesis work, we consider a mobile reader moving through the field that contains passive tags. We design the medium access control (MAC) based on the Dynamic Framed Slotted Aloha (DFSA) protocol. The efficiency (percentage of successful tag identifications) of such systems relies on the accuracy of predicting the number of tags in the reader's range. In dynamic environments in which a reader moves, there are always possibilities of new tags arriving inside the reader's range. These new arrivals were not taken into account in the existing tag estimation techniques. In the novel tag estimation technique proposed in this thesis research, we apply linear prediction to predict the amount of new tag arrivals to the reader's range, and use this information to improve the tag estimation accuracy. Simulations are then performed to demonstrate a higher efficiency of the proposed method compared to existing ones. |
