센서 네트워크는 크기가 작고 제한된 전력을 가진 센서노드들이 무작위로 다량 배치됨에 따라 안전하고 자유로운 정보 이용을 위하여 보다 유동적인 관리 환경이 필요하다. 특히 종래의 중앙 집중적인 관리 방법은 동적인 네트워크 변화가 민감한 센서 네트워크에 적용하기에 그 기능에서부터 큰 차이를 보이기 때문에 보다 신속하고 정확한 센서 노드의 관리를 위한 모바일 관리 도구의 구축을 제안한다. 모바일 관리 도구를 이용한 분산적인 센서 네트워크 관리는 유연한 센서 노드들의 관리를 가능하게 하고 이는 곧 센서 노드들이 수집하는 정보와 전달하는 정보의 신뢰도를 증가 시킬 수 있다.

RFID applications use tags to identify objects, but recent applications tend to include diverse sensor devices such as light, temperature, and humidity sensors as well. RFID tag information is usually processed via the event driven model. However sensor devices are usually accessed via the functional call model. Therefore application developers have to deal with mixed data access models and device dependent interface functions. In this paper, we propose a sensor reader emulator that provides a consistent access interface to sensor devices regardless of the types of devices. SRE provides a more efficient way of developing RFID applications by providing a single application programmer's view to RFID tags and sensor devices. In applications where tags are fixed to a place, SRE can replace expensive sensor tags and sensor readers with inexpensive sensor devices reducing the total cost while providing the same functionality.

Recently, In order to provide ubiquitous service, we develop each middleware and interface for sensors networks, RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) and GPS(Global Positioning System). We use GPS for the location-based services, RFID for identifying the distribution logistics services, sensor networks for collecting the context data such as temperature, humidity, barometric pressure. Recently, there is increasing the need of integrated interface for using these sensor elements complexly in agriculture and livestock, construction, medical applications and, etc. This paper developments a integrated common interface for supporting efficiently process of sensing data using RFID, GPS and sensor network. This interface have the filtering function, parsing function, queuing function, interface management function, access function and, etc. We present the integrated frame structure combined with the collected context data in GPS, RFID and sensor networks and, support the open interface for providing complex ubiquitous application systems. Therefore, this interface will be efficiently used the system using RFID, GPS and sensor network, and supported many ubiquitous application services.

In this paper, we present a RFID system by using a wireless sensor network. The proposed system is installed in glove for activity monitoring. The RFID reader, to send data by using sensor network platform and RFID tag are small size, the shape of quadrangle, and operate in the frequency of 13.56 MHz. The sensor node can read RFID tags on the various objects used in daily living such as furniture, medicines, and kitchenwares. The sensor node reads the data of RFID tags, it transmits wireless packets to the sink node. The sink node sends the received packet immediately to a server system. The data from each RFID system is collected into a database, and then the data are processed to visualize the measurement of daily living activities of users. We provide a web-based monitoring system, and can see the number of RFID tag readings per day as bar charts. The result of experiments demonstrates that the way we propose can help to check the situation of life for people who live alone.

USN and RFID, as new technologies for realization of ubiquitous computing, are closely related with each other technically. Nevertheless, these technologies are recognized as a separate research topic, and there are few researches on technical convergence of the two research areas. In this paper, we propose an efficient processing method of various kinds of sensor data which are used in USN environment to provide efficiency from the view point of not only convergence of USN and RFID technologies but also cost and extensibility. Especially, we propose a method of conversion of various sensor data into EPC data format which can be handled in a RFID middleware. Using the proposed method, RFID middleware systems based on international standard specification can handle not only RFID tag data but also general sensor data efficiently, and various types of ubiquitous application services can be implemented at low cost and in a short time.

In molds management systems using radio frequency identification (RFID), in the case where the RFID tag is lost, the RFID technology cannot be utilized to identify the location of the logistics. In order to solve this problem, a multi-sensor-based mold management system using RFID and infrared sensors is proposed in this paper. The proposed system uses RFID to identify the location of the mold and, by installing infrared sensors on the mold racks, the manager can identify the presence and location of the mold by reaffirming whether the mold exists in that location or not.

소득 2만불 시대를 위한 IT839 기술 중 서비스와 인프라에 해당하는 RFID와 USN은 학계에서의 많은 연구 노력과 다양한 분야에 대한 응용 노력에도 불구하고 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 실현을 위한 통합된 글로벌 네트워크 기술을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 USN과 RFID을 통합하는 글로벌 인프라스트럭처의 구현을 목표로 Auto-ID Labs에서 수행하고 있는 EPC 센서 네트워크 연구를 소개한다. EPC 센서 네트워크는 국제 표준인 EPCglobal 네트워크를 기반으로 USN과 RFID 기술을 인터넷과 통합하는 아키텍처를 제공함으로써 언제 어디서나 인터넷을 기반으로 다양한 센서 네트워크와 RFID 서비스를 제공하는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 실현을 앞당기게 될 것이다.

Radio Frequency Identification(RFID)시스템은 객체에 부착된 RFID 태그를 리더로 읽어 들여 정확하게 객체를 인식할 수 있어 상황 인지를 위한 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 태그와 리더간의 통신이 단일 홉으로 구성되어 있기 때문에 대상 지역의 전체를 인식하지 못하여, 상황인지를 위한 총체적 정보를 제공할 수 없는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 제안되고 있는 무선 센서 네트워크와 RFID 시스템의 결함을 통하여 RFID시스템이 대상 지역 전체를 인식할 수 있게 하고, 이 정보를 센서 네트워크의 센싱 정보와 함께 활용하여 지능적인 상황 인지가 가능한 RFID 기반 우선 센서네트워크의 지능적 상황 인지 지원 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템에서는 RFID 시스템의 객체 인지 능력을 활용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, RFID 시스템에 네트워킹 기능을 제공하여 지능적 상황인지를 가능하게 한다.

Precise temperature monitoring is the major preconditioning to supervise quality losses within the transport chain for fresh products. ISO/IEC18000-6REV1 defines new protocols supporting BAP(Battery Assisted Passive) RFID tag which is completely compatible with EPCglobal Class1 Generation2 specification. In this paper, we designed a modem supporting BAP RFID tag with FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) and implemented sensor data processing function defined in ISO/IEC18000-6REV1. The transmit block of the modem supports pulse shaping filter and the output signal of the implemented RFID reader is satisfied with the spectrum mask defined in the standard. The receive block of the modem uses Gardner TED to synchronize timing of symbol. In this paper, we designed a modem supporting ISO/IEC18000-6REV1 standard and developed a RFID reader sndard. The developed RFID reader sndard can recognize sensor tag and passive tag in the wireless environment and supports real-time processing of the sensor data in the embedded linux platform.
