摘要：This paper presents hybrid RFID – OWC with an adaptive priority transmission scheme. In this model, we apply optical wireless communication (OWC) for transmitting confidential information to a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. Since OWC provides high security, this improves the security of our system. The priority of information is assigned according to the level of confidentiality and significance of the information. The more confidential information is transmitted by OWC with adaptive data rate, and the rest of the information (if there is any) is transmitted by RFID. The energy harvesting of RFID is used to modulate the reflected optical signal by Corner Cube Retroreflector (CCR). Bit error rate (BER) is analyzed regarding the half-power angle of the transmitter, optical transmit power, data rate, and the angle between tag and reader. The analytical results indicate that by employing the adaptive priority transmission scheme, the required BER of OWC transmission is achieved.
