A radio frequency identification (RFID) system employs multiple band transmission to prevent signal collision. The system includes a plurality of RFID tag groups and at least one RFID reader. Each RFID tag group includes at least one RFID tag. The RFID tags of the same RFID tag group are operated for radio frequency transmission in the same transmission frequency band, and those of different RFID tag groups are operated for radio frequency transmission in different transmission frequency bands. When the RFID reader simultaneously receives radio frequency signals issued from RFID tags of different RFID tag groups, since they are transmitted in different transmission frequency bands, signal collision among the RFID tags of the RFID tag groups can be avoided.

Radio frequency identification system using multiple band transmission

A radio frequency identification (RFID) communication system and method is provided to resolve the power-consuming problems of an active RFID tag while operating at a receiving mode in a long duration. A designated channel is established between the reader and the RFID tag, and also the reader sends a designated message so that the actuated active RFID tag can receive the designated messages and dynamically enter into a receiving mode. Therefore, normal communications may be conducted between the reader and the RFID and the usage period or technical performance can be improved as well.
