Simulation and Analyses of Anti-Collision Algorithms for Active RFID System Based on MiXiM Simulation Module

Anti-collision algorithms of active RFID system are studied and simulated by the OMNeT++ software. The active RFID system based on ZigBee RF module is analyzed firstly, which uses the anti-collision mechanism involving the CSMA/CA algorithm of IEEE 802.15.4 protocol. Given the IEEE 802.15.4 simulation framework and configurations on the OMNeT++ simulation platform, simulations and analyses about anti- collision performance for the proposed active RFID system is carried out. For two customer anti-collision algorithms, the simulation results show that CSMA/CA algorithm presents excellent performance than ALOHA algorithm and its performance can meet the actual needs.
