In this paper, we propose a foot-and-mouth disease prevention system using the RTLS technology and $A^*$ algorithm-based optimal path search method to avoid foot-and-mouth disease areas. The main features and contributions of the proposed system are as follows. First, the proposed system is developed based on active-tag for identifying status and location information of livestock. Second, the system is newly designed based on $A^*$ algorithm for supporting optimal path search services. The performance evaluation of the proposed system is performed via simulation. The results of performance evaluation show that the proposed system can efficiently support the optimal path search services.

In RFID System, one of the problem that we must slove is to devise a good anti-collision algorithms to improve the efficiency of tag identification which is usually low because of tag collision. Among of the existing RFID anti-collision algorithm, BS (Binary Search) algorithm, though simple, has a disadvantage that the stage 0f times used to identify the tags increase exponentially as the number of tags does. In this Paper, I propose a new anti-collision algorithm called Multi-collision reflected frame which restricts the number of stages and decided bit. Since the proposal algorithm keep the length size of UID and density of total tag when have 100%.

Passive tags are inferior to active tags in processing efficiency, so they have difficulty in largevolume processing. The proposed protocol reduces the volume of computation in passive tags and, at the same time, improves authentication for enhanced safety and security. That is, different from existing RFID protocols that return the same value even if an error happens when the reader reads a tag, the improved RFID security protocol returns a new value using a re-counter and processes the computation part of a tag in the reader or in a back.end system. Even if the information of a tag is acquired by an malicious way, it is not actual information but encrypted information that is not usable. In addition, even if tag information is read in sequence, it is changed in each read, so the protocol is safe from Location Tracking.

According to the number of the books in the library growing dramatically, dealing with them becomes a serious problem. Especially Plenty of budgets have been consumedin arranging and keeping the books. To solve these confronted problems, RFID technology is researched in this thesis. By utilizing the mobile RFID readers, Book Management System which makes possible to reduce time and cost to input the information of locationand present situation of books in real time is developed. Moreover since the active tag which uses the 900 radio frequency band and mobile RFID reader are used, it is possible to achieve multi-recognizing system.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 구현하려면 위치인식 기술과 이를 기반으로 하는 다양한 위치 인식시스템이 필수적이다. 그러나 복잡한 실내 환경에서는 Global Positioning System (GPS)의 이용이 불가능하며 실내 위치 측정을 위한 전문적인 시스템이 필요하다. RFID 기술은 적은 시설투자와 낮은 비용으로 위치 측정 시스템을 구축할 수 있는 가능성을 제공한다. RFID기술을 이용한 실내 위치 측정 시스템 LANDMARC는 기타 시스템과 달리 참고태그라는 개념을 도입하여 RFID리더기의 배치 수량을 줄이는 동시에 위치 측정의 정확성을 보장함으로써 시스템을 도입하는데 소요되는 비용을 절감하였으며 현실에서의 높은 사용 가능성을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 LANDMARC시스템을 분석하여 문제점들을 해결하고 실내에서의 위치측정의 정확도를 진일보 향상시킬 수 있는 보다 효율적인 방안을 제안했다. 실험 분석 결과 동일한 실내 환경하에서 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법이 기존의 LANDMARC 시스템에 비하여 더 높은 정확성을 보장함을 입증하였다.

RFID 기술은 각 사물에 전자태그를 부착하고, 사물의 고유 ID를 무선으로 인식하여,해당 정보를 수집, 저장, 가공, 추적함으로써 사물에 대한 측위, 원격 처리, 관리 및 사물간 정보교환 등의 서비스를 제공하는 기술이다. RFID 기술은 칩, 태그, 리더, 미들웨어 및 응용 서비스 플랫폼으로 구성되고 유무선 통신망과 연동되어서 사용된다. RFID기술은 사람 중심(anyone)에서 사물 중심(anything)으로 정보화의 지평을 확대시킬수 있는 핵심 기술로 부각되고 있으며, 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크로 발전될 전망이다. 본 고에서는 900MHz 대역을 이용하는 수동형 RFID 시스템과 433MHz 대역을 이용하는 능동형 RFID 시스템의 주요 구성 요소와 관련 기술 동향 및 전망을 알아본다.

의료사고 증대와 비효율적 업무환경의 문제를 개선하기 위해 의료분야에서는 광범위한 RFID/USN기술의 적용을 고려하고 있다. RFID수동형 태그는 수혈 안정성 향상, 수술 오류 감소 및 수술실 내 환자 위치 확인, 투약 사고 방지, 환자 확인, 소모품 관리 등에 사용되며, 능동형 태그는 의사, 환자, 이동성 장비의 실시간 위치 추적 등에 사용된다. 하지만 의료기기 전파간섭, 보안 및 표준화, 특수환경에서 인식률 저하, 단기 투자비용 증대 등의 문제로 대부분의 적용 사례가 시범서비스 형태에 머무르며 활성화되지 못하고 있다. 본고에서는 의료진 및 환자관리, 자산관리, 의약품관리, 혈액관리 분야의 적용 사례 분석, 문제점 및 활성화 방안에 관하여 알아본다.

This paper presents the development of RFID educational system based on 900MHz air interface between the reader and the active tag. The software of reader and the active tag is developed on embedded environment, and the software of PC controlling the reader is based on window OS operated as the server. The ATmega128 VLSI chip is used for the processor of the reader and the active tag. As the development environment, AVR compiler is used for the reader and the active tag of which the programming language is C. The visual C++language of the visual studio on the PC activated as the server is used for development language. Main functions of this system are to control tag containing EPC global Data by PC through the reader, to obtain information of tag through the internet and to read/write data on tag memory. Software design of 900MHz RFID/USN educational system is done on the basis of these functions.

The RFID technology has attracted much attention these days due to the far better efficiency than the bar-code and magnetic card system. As an important usage, the 433 MHz active RFID tag was already adopted to the container ports in the United States and Europe for container loading/unloading automation and equipment location. However, there is one problem to be solved for the complete automation. RFID readers support only the direct communication with tags within their RF communication range. Then there are a lot of containers and equipments such as crane, yard tractor, and forklift in ports; and because they are made of metal, they interfere the RF communication, resulting in the occurrence of the dead-zone. In the dead-zone, RFID tags cannot receive any signal from readers. There may be several solutions to resolve the dead-zone problem. Among them, this paper suggests the most economical solution where RFID tags in the dead-zone can communicate with readers via neighbor tags in the multi-hop manner The new RFID communication architecture should be carefully designed in order to maintain the compatibility with the previous standard. Our experiment shows that the proposed architecture works well even in the case where some tags are out of the RF range of reader.
