EPCglobal Network is based on the Electronic Product Code(EPC) and rapidly opening up to many enterprises that have close relationships with each other. Since a huge amount of logistics Information is distributed in the EPCglobal Network, it needs to manage them effectively. Global logistics companies and institutes are studying and setting up the standards about EPC Information Service(EPCIS), Object Name Service (ONS) and EPC Discovery Service(EPCDS) in the RFID and EPC-based logistics information network. In this paper, we propose expanded EPCIS and EPCDS that are satisfy EPCglobal standards and enable more effective logistics information management.

RFID is rising as a means which recognizes products efficiently and correctly. The use of RFID technology can reduce the expense of excess stocktaking, forgery, labor and improve supply network. RFID technology uses RF to recognize the products. EPC, a small tag, is attached to each product, which includes specific product information. Each EPC is only one and can recognize each product. If EPC tag moves to a specific location, the reader reads the tag, the data of which get to be stored in EPC information service, a data storage system. All services can approach EPC information service through web and whenever users demand services, they are provided with the data they want. This study shows an inventory control system is implemented by EPC information service.

The development of RFID system is increasing rapidly by applying to variety fields recently. Especially, RFID system is used to the focus technology of the supply chain management in distribution field of the supplier. In distribution field, We have to grasp products quickly and correctly, but this has a problem to make an inventory of products in real-time because of products transfer. In this paper, to solve this problems. We grasp the state of inventory in real-time by using EPC-IS network becoming the organizational standard of RFID network. also, We offer an authentation of product service to grasp counterfeits and stolen goods in real-time. Therefore, in this paper, We show to be able to process an authentation of product service and inventory of products in distribution field in real-time.

To obtain visible and traceable information from the supply chain, HW/SW standards for the EPC global network, which process electronic product code (EPC) data read from Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, are regarded as the de facto industry standard. Supply chain participants install information service systems and provide logistics information to partners by following the EPCglobal architecture framework. Although quality of service (QoS) is essential for providing dependable and scalable services as pointed out by Auto-ID Lab, only a few models for the performance analysis of QoS-related work have been developed in the context of EPC information service systems. Specifically, doing so allows alternative design choices to be tested in an easy and cost-effective manner and can highlight potential performance problems in designs long before any construction costs are incurred. Thus, in this study we construct a model of an EPC information service system for the purposes of performance analysis and designing a dependable system. We also develop a set of building blocks for analytical performance models. To illustrate how the model works, we determine the characteristics of an EPC information service system and then select a combination of these proven modeling concepts. We construct a performance model that considers the response time and shows how to derive meaningful performance values. Finally, we compare the analytical results to measurements of the EPC information service system.

There coexist various access network for mobile terminals, such as mobile phones, smart phones, and tablet PC, in mobile and wireless network. In these circumstance, the network traffic overload unexpected causes the service degradation or discontinuity. To solve this problem, we consider a off-loading route selection by a cloud server which monitors traffic volume and selects an appropriate route. With our proposed scheme, it is possible for the EPC network with untrusted WLAN access networks to operate efficiently to a trusted service level. Also, an optimal handover with satisfying service requirements could be achieved by the proposed offload scheme.

Mobile and wireless communication technologies to the development of a variety of next-generation mobile networks such as smart phones, tablet PC and mobile terminals will coexist various access networks. In a variety of network service continuity and quality of service degradation due to network conditions, and the EPC network traffic overload phenomenon still remains a problem. In this paper, the EPC network traffic overload in distributed cloud servers is proposed to select. Our proposed scheme using an efficient network handover can provide optimal service according to the network condition.

현재 RFID 네트워크의 구조적 기준이 되는 EPC Network는 HTTP/SOAP 통신 프로토콜과 HTML/XML를 이용하여 서비스를 제공하지만, 이동 RFID 네트워크에서는 핸드폰의 메모리 배터리가 가지는 제약성과 대역폭이 작은 무선 환경에 따른 문제로 인해 WAP 통신 프로토콜과 경량의 WML를 사용한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 두 네트워크간의 프로토콜 변환과 데이터포맷 변환을 통해 상호 정보교환 및 공유 문제에 대한 해결방안을 제시한다. EPC 네트워크에서 제공하는 서비스인 IS(Information Service), DS(Discovery Service) 서비스와 이동 RFID 네트워크 U에서 리더가 부착된 핸드폰(Radio Frequency Mobile Station : RFMS)로 이용하게 될 IS, DS 서비스간의 연동 시 제기되는 가장 대표적 문제점인 표현방법과 통신 프로토콜의 차이의 해결을 위해 EPC-Proxy를 두어 그 안에서 EPC-Proxy의 정확한 기능 역할 및 동작과 이동 RFID 네트워크가 관할하는 RFID 태그에 대해서 이동 RFID 네트워크의 local ONS가 가져야 할 NAPTR RR 정보를 통한 EPC 네트워크와 이동 RFID 네트워크의 서비스 호환 및 상호운용 방식을 제시한다.

The application service to use recently an electronic tag have been activated. Therefore research about a data processing of an electronic tag have been processed widely. Therefore, object information to be collected efficiently from various former tag for requesting a data processing of XML based on used widely in Web. For this EPCIS defined the standard interface to share EPC relation data. Currently, Core Event Type of EPCIS defined the Core Type to need in EPC network currently and Types about a business context do not define according to Apply field. We apply to EPC network to a specific business We need the type about the information which defines with Core Event Type. in this paper. We are defining an reusable object type which is used often in a business area. in this way design the schema based to an object information data model of a marine logistics apply to the object type to define in this way and Core Event Type to define EPCIS Specnt.

In this paper, considering virtualized Evolved Packet Core(vEPC) network for 5G mobile network, we propose architecture for supporting Service Function Chaining(SFC) in 5G mobile network. Using SFC in 5G network, dynamic path configuration and providing network services based on subscriber and traffic information. SFC technology provides logical ordered set of network functions and delivers packet through providing logical path over the physical network. Based on the perspective of 5G core network in distributed manner, we design hierarchical SFC architecture to manage SFC for global path including vEPC and SGi-LAN network, and internal path between virtualized network functions in each cloud. In this paper, we define architecture and call flow for establishing data path using SFC. Finally, we design testbed architecture for real implementation based on open source software.

현재 RFID 네트워크의 구조적 기준이 되는 EPC 네트워크는 HTTP/SOAP 통신 프로토콜과 HTML/XML을 이용하여 서비스를 제공한다. 반면 모바일 RFID 네트워크에서는 휴대 단말기의 특성에 따라 WAP방식 및 HTTP방식으로 서비스가 제공되고 있지만 단말기의 제약으로 인해 다양한 서비스 이용이 불가능 하다. 이와 같은 차이점으로 인해, 같은 RFID 네트워크 임에도 달구하고 논리적으로 두 개의 네트워크로 구분되며 서비스의 상호연동이 불가능 하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 EPC 네트워크 구성을 따르며 모바일 RFID 네트워크의 구조변경없이 두 네트워크 간의 서비스 연동을 위한 구성 요소인 Application Server(AS)와 Mobile RFID Application Level Gateway(mRFID-ALG)를 제시한다.
