This paper studies on the read rate of UHF-band RFID tag. An RFID tag antenna attached on the high permittivity surface will be detuned that results in deteriorating the read rate. In this study, we investigate that the electrical performance for the tag antenna is detuned due to the ceramic material and the read rate is radically improved after tuning the antenna.

Our research group has investigated that RFID tag packaging development and RFID tag flip chip bonding method influences on the industry-environmental customized RFID tag development that has applications to various industry environmental conditions. RFID tag flip chip bonding is consisting with wire bonding, ultrasonic bonding, heat plate bonding, and laser bonding and those methods are also depending on the different RFID tag development. Our research data shows that, among the various industrial environments such as an extremely high temperature, cryogenic, high-humidity, flexible, high-durable, development of RFID tag in an extremely high temperature is inappropriate for laser bonding method, converting of heat energy as absorbing light energy or heat plate bonding method of straight heat transferring manner, on the other hand, is suitable for wire bonding method which directly connect bump to pattern using wire.

The paper introduces the an necklace type UHF RFID tag for a live tree having high dielectric constant. When a general UHF RFID tag is used for the metal and the material with high dielectric constant, the electrical characteristics and impedance of antenna have been changed, and the tag is not recognized by an UHF RFID reader. The necklace type UHF RFID tag has been designed with consideration of the high dielectric constant of the tree material. The name tag for a live tree has been designed with the developed tag antenna. The performance of tag has been measured and the reading range is about 4~5m. The developed UHF RFID tag antenna can be applied to any high dielectric material for various industrial applications.

In recent year, the cores of ubiquitous environment are sensor networks and RFID systems. RFID system transmits the electronic information of the tag to the reader by using RF signal. Collision happens in RFID system when there are many matched tags, and it degrades the tag identification performance. Such a system needs algorithm which is able to arbitrate tag collision. This paper suggests a hybrid method which reduces collision between the tags, and can quickly identify the tag. The proposed method operates based on certainty, which takes an advantage of tree based algorithm, and to reduce collision it selects transmission time slot by using tag ID. The simulation results show the suggested method has higher performance in the number of queries and collision compared to other tree based and hybrid algorithms.

최근 RFID에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. RFID 사용량도 증가하는 추세에 있으며, 앞으로는 생활 전반에서 RFID를 이용하게 될 것으로 전망한다. 그러나 사용자 프라이버시 보호 기법의 개발은 아직 해결해야 할 문제이다. 저가형 태그에는 기존 다른 시스템에서 사용되던 여러 가지 암호시스템의 적용이 어렵다. 그래서 많은 사람들이 RFID 태그에 적용 가능한 여러 가지 기법을 제시하였다. 그 중 Blocker 태그를 사용해서 프라이버시 보호와 범죄방지를 하는 기법이 있다. 그러나 Blocker 태그 기법에서는 쓰기 능력을 가지고 있는 태그에 적용 가능하다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 읽기만 가능한 저가형 태그에서도 Blocker 기능을 수행할 수 있는 새로운 기법을 제안하였다. 제안하는 기법은 현재 태그에서 최소한의 변경으로 프라이버시 보호와 범죄방지를 위한 실질적인 해결책으로 사용이 가능하다.

RFID Anti-Collision technique is needed to avoid collision problem caused by Radio interference between tags in the same RFID Reader area. It affects the performance and reliability of the RFID System. This paper propose the QT-CBP(Query Tree with Collision-Bit Positioning) Algorithm based on the QT(Query Tree) algorithm. QT-CBP Algorithm use precise collision bit position to improve the performance. We demonstrated the proposed algorithm by simulation. Our algorithm outperformed when each tag bit streams are the more duplicate and the number of tags is increased, compared with QT.

An RFID system consists of radio frequency tags attached to objects that need to be identified and one or more electromagnetic readers. Unlike the traditional bar code system, the great benefit of RFID technology is that it allows information to be read without requiring contact between the tag and the reader. For this contact-less feature, RFID technology in the near future will become an attractive alternative to bar code in many application fields. In almost all the 13.56MHz RFID systems, FSA algorithm is used for identifying multiple tags in the reader's identification range. In FSA algorithm, the tag identification time and system efficiency depend mainly on the number of tags and frame size. In this paper, we propose a tag number estimation scheme and a dynamic frame size allocation scheme based on the estimated number of tags.

RFID 시스템은 태그, 리더, 그리고 RFID를 관리하는 S/W 시스템으로 구성되고 있다. RFID태그에 기록하는 정보는 RFID 태그를 분류하는 클라스에 따라 다르지만, 모든 RFID태그는 국제적 표준에 따른 ID 체계를 갖추고, 운영을 하여야 한다. 여기서는 국제적 RFID용 ID표준을 살펴보고, ISO15459에 따른 ID 관리 시스템이 갖추어야 할 구조적 특징에 대하여 연구하기로 한다.

This paper analyzes the tag data inconsistency problem caused by incomplete execution of the tag access operation to the RFID tag's memory and proposes a protocol to control consistent tag data accesses with finalizing the incomplete operation. Passive RFID tag cannot guarantee complete execution of the tag access operations because of uncertainty and unexpected disconnection of RF communications. This leads to the tag data inconsistency problem. To handle this, we propose a concurrency control protocol which defines incomplete tag operations as continuous queries and monitors the tags're-observation continuously. The protocol finalizes the incomplete operation when the tag is re-observed while it blocks inconsistent data accesses from other operations. We justify the proposed protocol by analyzing the completeness and consistency. The experiments show that the protocol shows better performance than the traditional lock-based concurrency control protocol.

RFID 시스템의 미들웨어는 태그에서 생성된 방대한 양의 데이터를 리더를 통해 전달받는다. RFID 미들웨어는 이러한 데이터를 정제하여 응용 애플리케이션에 전달하는 기능을 담당한다. 하지만 태그 데이터 정제 과정에서 발생되는 지연 시간은 RFID 미들웨의 응답성을 저하시킨다. 본 논문은 EPCglobal 의 RFID 미들웨어 표준인 ALE 에 의거하여 태그 데이터에 대한 다수의 필터링 조건들이 주어진 RFID 미들웨어 환경에서 실시간으로 수집되는 대용량의 태그에 대한 고속 필터링 엔진을 설계한다. 이를 위하여 Intermediate node 들이 key 값을 저장하는 Binary Search Tree 형태를 구성하여 태그를 필터링하는 방법을 제안한다. 결과로써 기존의 순차적인 RFID 데이터 필터링에 비해 고속의 필터링 성능을 보이며 특히 필터의 수가 증가할수록 필터링의 효율이 높아짐을 보인다.
