Active passive near field communication anti-collision method, initiator and tag

Номер: US20150024682A1
Автор: Achraf Dhayni
Принадлежит: STMicroelectronics International NV

In near field communication between an active initiator and a plurality of passive listening devices, the initiator device obtains a unique identity code from each listening device using an initialization process. The initiator transmits a poll request signal including a sequence of coupled data including an identification vector and an allocation vector. Each listening device stores an embedded introduction vector. In response to receive of the poll request signal, the listening device compares each received introduction vector with its stored embedded introduction vector. If a match is found, the listening device calculates a time slot for transmission of its poll response signal based on the coupled allocation vector with the matched introduction vector. The time slot calculated will not overlap with any other time slot so that bit level collisions in the poll response signals will be avoided.

A communication device includes a first processing unit that sends a first command to start an activation processing. The communication device also includes a second processing unit that receives the first command from the first processing unit. In addition, the communication device includes an interface between the first processing unit and the second processing unit. The first processing unit activates the interface at a predetermined interface level from among a plurality of interface levels. The second processing unit starts an application in accordance with the activated interface level. The first processing unit and the second processing unit exchange data by the activated application. The first processing unit and the second processing unit perform a deactivation processing of the activated interface.
