Introduction:
The RFID or the Radio-frequency identification is special type technology which is
uses the electromagnetic waves for identification of tags and objective which are attached
with the objective (Peris-Lopez et al., 2016). Some important electronic information is stored
within this type of chips. This type of chips are very much useful for the object tracking
purposes but also faces some challenges. In this aspects the challenges faced by the RFID
tags will be introduced.
Challenges with the RFID Tags:
The main challenges which are associated with the RFID tags are discussed in the
following section.
 Disruption Issue: From various of scenarios it has been assessed that the RFID tags
can be disrupted easily. The main reason that it can be disrupted easily is the
electromagnetic spectrum. The RFID tags can be jammed easily by using the
electromagnetic energy at the right frequency. Due to this factor inconvenience can
be occurred while using the RFID tags and major problem can occur where use of
RFID is sensitive including the medical and military field.
 Reader Collison: There is a specific type of issues within the RFID tags which is the
reader collision issue. This type of issue occurs within the system when the signals
from more than one RFID tags overlaps with each other. Due to this type of
challenges the RFID tag become unable to respond to the queries that are coming
simultaneously. In this type of situation the system need to act promptly and need to
avoid this type of collisions (Greco et al., 2015). Many of the system uses the anti-
collision protocol to mitigate this issue. The anti-collision protocol helps in this case
by turning the tags in transmitting to a reader.
