Abstract:
PURPOSE: A link switching method in an LED(Light Emitting Diode)-ID(Identification) system based on a prediction position of an LED-ID reader is provided to execute a link switching procedure based on list information by calculating the list information of an LED-ID tag. CONSTITUTION: An LED-ID reader and a connected LED-ID tag generate list information of an LED-ID tag based on a prediction position. The LED-ID tag transmits a link switching response message including the list information to the LED-ID reader. The LED-ID reader receives the link switching response message. The LED-ID reader interrupts connection with the LED-ID tag. The LED-ID reader scans another LED-ID tag based on the list information.
