Abstract:
Provided are an active Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tag applied to a logistics tracking system and a communication method thereof. The communication method includes transmitting movement completion information to a reader by using a communication channel, which less consumes power of a battery, at a time when movement of a product or a pallet which is moving is not sensed, receiving a request message, requesting position information of the tag corresponding to the movement completion information, from the reader by using the communication channel, activating a positioning channel, which relatively more consumes the power of the battery, to transmit positioning information to the reader by using the activated positioning channel in response to the request message received through the communication channel, and when the transmission of the positioning information is completed, deactivating the positioning channel. The movement completion information indicates movement completion of the moving product or pallet.
