  • Patent number: 7239657
    Abstract: Apparatus and a method for enhancing the interference resistance of so-called RFID systems, wherein identification messages delivered from an identification device are longer than the time for which an anticipated interference or disturbance is calculated to continue, and wherein the messages contain redundancy, such as a checksum. The messages are delivered from the identification device repetitively, and are redundancy checked. In the event of any discrepancy in the redundancy check, such as when the checksum is checked against the data content of the message and is found in disagreement, successive messages are checked bit for bit against each other. Any deviations between otherwise previously rejected messages are assumed to be due to external interference and are thus successively substituted until the redundancy check gives an accepted result, such as through the medium of a checksum check according to the so-called CRC method.
