Distributed Power Control <strong>and</strong> Rate <strong>Ad</strong>aptation 295RFID readers to power internal circuits <strong>and</strong> obtain communication. Readersoperating in the same frequency may interfere with the others resulting ina reduced detection range <strong>and</strong> read rate. In addition, because the tags are atlow cost, any intelligent power control must be designed on the reader sideonly. Because the reader <strong>and</strong> tag range are relatively stationary <strong>and</strong> short indistance, interference by others is considered as the main source for channeluncertainties in RFID systems. Therefore, by assuming g ii in Equation 6.1 tobe a constant, the DAPC feedback loop can be internal to the reader, <strong>and</strong>only interference measurements are necessary. Received SNR can be directlyconverted into detection range <strong>and</strong> measure system performances. For wirelessad hoc <strong>and</strong> sensor networks, meeting the SNR target is important todecode a packet successfully. Otherwise, retransmissions will result.An ad hoc wireless network (or a RFID reader network with 4 readers)is implemented using the Gen-4 SSN setup. The desired SNR for thereaders is at 10 dB <strong>and</strong> a channel attenuation between the tag <strong>and</strong> readeris assumed to be 40 dBm (g ii ). First, a system with no power control schemeis tested, <strong>and</strong> the output power of all four nodes is set to be 2 dBm. InFigure 6.38, the performance of all four nodes is illustrated, <strong>and</strong> it is clearPower (dB)/SNR (dBm)706050403020100−10706050403020100−10Node 1Node 3SNR (dB)Power (dBm)−200 20 40 60 80 100 120SNR (dB)Power (dBm)−200 20 40 60 80 100 120706050403020100−10Node 2−200 20 40 60 80 100 120706050403020100−10Node 4SNR (dB)Power (dBm)SNR (dB)Power (dBm)−200 20 40 60 80 100 120Number of transmissionsFIGURE 6.38Network performances of 4 nodes with no power update scheme.
