Recently, a considerable number of studies have been made on the $RFID^{[1-6]}$ systems. RFID is a technique of identifying an object using radio frequency transmission. The technology can be used to identify, track, sort or detect a wide variety of objects. The RFID system is composed of two main elements: a reader and a tag. Tags can either be active (powered by battery) or passive (powered by the reader field). The passive tags communicate back to the reader with a technique called 'backscatter'. RFID technology can be applied to the supply chain, security, logistics industry and etc. Especially, UHF RFID is worth noticing because of its relatively long identification range and commercial UHF RFID systems are under development. In this paper, we designed and implemented a UHF RFID reader firmware for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type B specification.

RFID is a very important interface technology in a ubiquitous computing that is called new computing paradigms. that is, we can handle the data updating, recognizing and processing easily using a integrated the network and RFID technology in a ubiquitous computing. Therefore, we propose a business adminstration system that can able to change the passive management structure to active management structure in a u-business administration using RFID technology of ubiquitous computing. Proposed system has management server function that handle recording and management of information by business administration to improve structure of legacy passive management system actively, so that supply effect of reduce manpower and cost for the manager, and offer easy interface to user at the same time.

As the retail industry has been challenged by stiff competition, the retailer becomes more interested in better understanding consumers' in-store behavior to gain and sustain competitive advantage. Consumers' shopping paths provide valuable clues to understanding customers' in-store behavior, which has been a long standing research issue in business. This study is to explore the shopping path patterns in a grocery using RFID technology and clustering method. To this end, we designed the RFID systems, affixing active RFID tags to the bottom of grocery carts. The tag emit signal that is received by receptors installed at various location throughout the store. The RFID systems provide the time and location of the cart while consumers shop around the store. The point of sale data are matched with the cart movement records to provide a complete picture of each shopping path. To find the distinctive patterns of consumers' shopping paths, we proposed the distance-index matrix using dijkstra method and normalization method to conduct the clustering in order to handle the problem in measuring the similarity among shopping paths, which is raised by the spatial nature of consumer movement in a grocery. After analyzing the RFID data obtained in one of the groceries in a major Korean retailer, we could successfully identify several distinctive patterns of shopping paths, which prove to provide the valuable implications for store management.

유비쿼터스 물류 환경을 위한 능동형 RFID(Radio Frequency IDentfication) 시스템 기술에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 특히 컨테이너 물류 환경에서 적합한 RFID 기술은 ISO/IEC 18000-7 표준으로 제정되었으나, 현재 이에 대한 연구 개발 사례보고가 드문 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 물류 상황에 적합한 능동형 RFID 시스템에 대한 아키텍쳐 설계 및 저전력 운용 등의 요소기술에 대한 연구 및 시스템 개발 내용을 다루었다. 기본적인 성능평가를 수행한 결과, 1000개의 명령어를 연속으로 요청했을 때 $99\%$이상의 높은 인식률을 보였다. 또한 시스템의 핵심 요소인 저전력 기능을 구현한 결과 배터리는 최장 1년까지 이용 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

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.

Managing articles on exhibition in the museum these days are generally conducted in manual. With the reason, profound time as well as money is spent without generating proper results and this matter is regarded as a serous problem to be solved. Therefore, in this thesis, a suggestion to solve the consequently difficulty will be provided. In the suggested solution, both portable and fixed RFID readers and an active tag using 900Mhz frequency range are used. In constant, the methods of understanding realtime management of exhibited articles and integrated managing for museum would be developed effectively.

Mobile RFID system, that consists of the existing RFID reader mounted on the mobile devices such as smartphones, is able to provide the users a variety of services and convenience. Although the users can get the information about a certain product anytime anywhere, there is high probability that their privacy may be violated because their belongings with RFID tags can be scanned by other mobile readers at any time. Several RFID authentication schemes have been proposed to deal with these privacy issues. However, since the existing solutions require heavy computation on the tag side, most of them is not applicable to the general low-cost passive tags which do not have any processing unit. In this paper, we propose the efficient authentication scheme for mobile RFID system applicable to the passive tags as well as the active ones by the best use of computing capability of mobile devices. The proposed scheme satisfies the import security issues such as tag protection, untraceability, anti-traffic analysis. We also implement the proposed scheme on top of real smartphone for feasibility and show the experimental results from it.

In this paper a method of design and Implementation of RFID based control system for reducing standby power consumption at the power outlet is described. The system is composed of a RF controlled power outlet having relay and an active RFID tag communicating with the RF reader module controlling the relay. When the tag carried by human approaches to the RF reader the reader recognizes the tag and switch off the relay based on the RSSI level measurement. A low power packet prediction algorithm has been used to decrease the DC power consumption at both the tag and the RF reader. The result of experiment shows that successful operation of the relay control has been obtained while low power operation of the tag and the reader is achieved using above algorithm. Also setting the distance between the reader and the tag by controlling transmission power of the tag and adjusting the duty cycle of the packet waiting time when the reader is in idle state allows us to reduce DC power consumption at both the reader and the tag.

Since most of recently launched smart devices support NFC(Near Field Communication), RFID applications are tend to be replaced. For instance, previous RFID application areas such as entrance control, mobile e-ticket, electronic payment and et. al are subject to change using NFC. Due to the limitation of passive communication in RFID, it is impossible to cover all security requirements of authentication and authorization mechanism that wide areas of applications demand. Therefore authentication and authorization mechanism based on NFC is very attractive to such applications because active communication methods make it possible to be highly secure in authentication and authorization. In this paper, authors propose a new approach of secure authentication and authorization mechanism using NFC smart devices based on EAP(Extensible Authentication Protocol) and AAA(Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) protocols.
