battery-assisted tag
These are RFID tags with batteries, but they communicate using the same backscatter technique as passive tags (tags with no battery).

They have a longer "read range" than a regular passive tag because all of the energy gathered from the reader can be reflected back to the reader. They are sometimes called "semi-passive RFID tags".
