Embodiment
1. traffic model key concept
The RFID air interface that is applicable to the far zone field environment has two kinds of working methods, wireless writing mode and read mode.Therefore, exist two kinds of traffic models.RFID is wireless to write model (as Fig. 1), and RFID reads model (as Fig. 2).
In traffic model, no matter be write operation, or read operation, not that electronic tag is considered as pure backscatterer, so do not re-use the notion of RCS.For write operation, think that electronic tag is a terminal node on the communication link.It is a transceiver equipment completely.Therefore, it should have receiving sensitivity, emissive power.For read operation, we are considered as a repeated link inquiring and replying overall process, then electronic tag can be regarded as a forwarding node again, and the emissive power of label should be regarded as a link-label rf gain of system transmissions gain (or loss) to the ratio of receiving sensitivity.This value may be for just under the active label situation, may be for negative or be approximately zero dB under the passive label situation.
According to the Communication System Design notion, it has been generally acknowledged that forward link and reverse link should be symmetric channel, loss should equate, therefore, in the system design, should guarantee that forward and reverse link system equipment ability equates.So the systematic parameter based on traffic model should comprise that forward and reverse junction device ability symmetry detects.
2. parameter-definition
The present invention has provided the parameter-definition based on radio frequency discrimination RFID traffic model air interface:
1) read write line receiving sensitivity: the minimum received power level that can correctly discern electronic tag return data information when read write line is realized read operation.
2) electronic tag write signal receiving sensitivity: label correct execution read write line writes the minimum received power level that write operation is finished in instruction.
3) electronic tag reads signal receiving sensitivity: label correct execution read write line reading command is finished the minimum received power level of read operation.
4) reflective power of label receiving sensitivity working point: read under the minimum received signal power level of the signal situation emissive power of label what read write line was sent.
5) label rf gain: promptly the label emissive power is to the ratio of its received power level.
6) forward path capacity of equipment: by read write line available gain of all devices to the label signal transfer path summation of (comprising loss) as negative gain.
7) reverse path capacity of equipment: by label available gain of all devices to the read write line signal transmission path summation of (comprising loss) as negative gain.
8) forward and reverse junction device ability symmetry: by read write line to label with by the ratio of label to the total capacity of equipment of read write line two paths.
The unit of the above power level is dBm, and the above gain (comprising the loss as negative gain) is all by dB.As use other unit, should do corresponding conversion in the calculating.The above emissive power (EIRP) and receiving sensitivity all comprise its used antenna gain, as using the definition of transmitter power (ERP) and receiver sensitivity, then do not comprise its used antenna gain.
