Anti-collision algorithms are very important to solve the anti-collision problem in multi-tag and multi-reader environment. The anti-collision algorithm is divided into the anti-collision algorithm for multiple tags and the anti-collision algorithms for multiple readers. The anti-collision algorithms for multiple tags are largely divided into tree-based deterministic algorithms and slot aloha-based probabilistic algorithms. In this paper, different multi-tag anti-collision algorithms compatible with the EPC Gen2 protocol (ISO 18000-6C protocol) are analyzed and simulated under different conditions, and the latest UHF frequency allocation regulation of China is taken into consideration.
After a trademark dispute, the EPC Prototyping Platform is now called "Fosstrak" (previously Accada). Fosstrak stands for "free and open source software for track and trace".
