Robust RFID Tag Identification.

Fast and reliable identification of Radio Frequency Indentification (RFID) tags by means of anticollision (MAC) protocols has been a problem of substantial interest for more than a decade. However, improvements in identification rate have been slow, as most solutions rely on sequential approaches that try to avoid collisions, which have limited margin for performance improvement. Recently, there has been growing interest in concurrent techniques that exploit the structure of collisions to recover tag IDs.
