Cross-Layer Analysis of Multi-Static RFID Systems Exploiting Capture Diversity

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a framework for crosslayer analysis of multi-static passive RFID systems. The model takes into account details of the shared wireless channel, including fading and capture effect, whereas, at the medium access control (MAC) layer, the anti-collision mechanism proposed in the EPC Generation 2 standard is taken as a reference. To address the complexity of the system model, we rely on a semi-analytical approach, that combines a moment matching approximation method to abstract the physical layer and Monte-Carlo simulations to describe the MAC dynamics. Furthermore, based on the space diversity feature offered by the multi-static settings, we introduce the concept of capture diversity and propose a modification to the standard to fully support this form of diversity. Numerical results show the impact of deployment conditions and the relative positions of interrogator, tags, and detection points on the performance of tags' identification. We show how the number of detection points impacts the system performance under various channel conditions and MAC parameters' settings. Finally, we validate the proposed update of the MAC protocol, showing substantial performance improvement with respect to the standard collision resolution policy.

Application of Multislice Spiral CT and Three-Dimensional Image Reconstruction Technology in the Observation of Ankle Sports Injury under the Microscope

“…The external ligament, which is prone to injury, and the medial ligament of the ankle alone are rare, and most deltoid ligament injuries are combined with lateral malleolus fractures, or in combination with syndesmosis [ 5 ]. Valentini et al recorded 281 patients with ankle sprains, and the average joint stiffness was only 3% [ 6 ]. Almost all medial ligament injuries are partial ligament avulsion.…”

Boosting NOMA systems through smart metasurfaces

“…At this level of abstraction, such a system could be treated as a multiple access system with active backscattering elements. An analytical framework has been advocated in (Valentini et al, 2020;Valentini et al, 2021a) for systems with backscattering elements, including the impact of the multiple access protocol, the propagation characteristics, and the behavior of the receiver. Then, the convergence of power-domain NOMA protocols and backscattering communications has been studied in (Valentini et al, 2021b).…”

Cross layer protocol architecture for spectrum‐based routing in cognitive radio networks

“…SUSEELA ET AL. transmission has been discovered [4][5][6][7]. It is also worth noting that because of the wide variations in route length, the time slots used are referred to as "Broad-Route."…”

“…To begin, the sensor network is explored using MAC sub layers based on Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). The MAC layer also has a “dynamic route neighbour discovery table.” A “Broad Route Distributed Time slot Assignment” method is applied to the cross‐layered sensor system after the route for packet transmission has been discovered [4–7]. It is also worth noting that because of the wide variations in route length, the time slots used are referred to as “Broad‐Route.” Controlling the traffic rate during packet transmission, the amount of data that is transferred is modified based on different times with varying ranges.…”
