This paper was proposed Intelligent and wireless USN/RFID module system that can overcome disadvantage of existing RFID system with no sensing module and wire communication. The proposed USN/RFID system was designed and fabricated. After fabricating new system, we analyzed the characteristics of USN/RFID module. After design VCO block that is point circuit to develop next generation system one chip of RFID system, we were carried out simulation and verified the validity. this paper was showed that VCO system was enough usable in wireless network module. USN/RFID Reader module shows superior result that validity awareness distance corresponds to 30 M in the case of USN and to 5 M in RFID Reader's case and 900 MHz of commercial frequency does practical use enoughly in range of high frequency. The USN/RFID Reader module is considered to act big role to Ubiqitous industry offering computing surrounding of new concept that is intelligence type service and that was associated to real time location system(RTLS), environment improvement/supervision, national defense, traffic administration etc.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅은 향후 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) 환경에서 구현될 것으로 예상되며, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅에서 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)기술 기반의 응용 서비스들이 가장 먼저 활성화될 분야로 전망된다. RFID 분야에서의 보안은 RFID의 태그로 인한 프라이버시 침해가 가장 큰 문제점으로 인식되고 있으며, 기술적, 법적·제도적으로 개인의 프라이버시를 보장하기 위한 노력들이 진행 중이다. USN에서의 보안은 센서노드의 자원의 제약으로 인해 기존의 전통적인 보안과는 다른 관점에서의 접근이 필요하며, 키분배 및 관리, 안전한 라우팅 방법론, 센서네트워크에 대한 공격에 대한 안전한 네트워크 구축 등이 이슈들이다. 본 논문에서는 RFID와 USN의 보안 연구 대상에 대해서 살펴보고 이들에 대한 향후 연구 방향을 소개한다.

LR-WPAN(Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network) hewn as IEEE 802.15.4 is considered as one of the most suitable specifications published until now to accomplish USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network). In this paper we simulate interference effects to other systems if LR-WPAN will be used in 900MHz. In considering the current usage situation of 900MHz frequency band, we can think LR-WPAN shares the frequency band of $908.5{\sim}914MHz$ assigned for RFID/USN. The simulation results of the case of LR-WPAN and RFID/USN sharing the frequency band show that the probability of interference of LR-WPAN to CT1 and RFID is 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively. In order to avoid interference effects to public communications, simulations results show that the protection distance of about loom is needed.

Recently, RFID-based mobile robot navigation technology for the study is on the march. Obstacle avoidance using existing RFID tag technology, the target is immediately recognizable through Stored in the tag for obstacle size and shape information. However, this technique is not easy to recognize a moving obstacle. In this paper, in order to this solve problem, mobile robot obstacle avoidance system is proposed using smart RFID tags attached to the ultrasonic sensor. Proposed system used Smart RFID tag is designed to the 900Mhz tags attached ultrasonic sensors. And captured moving obstacles information deliver mobile robot. Mobile robot modify driving information through delivery information. And the system keeps track of the best driving route. Usefulness of the proposed system was confirmed by simulations and experiments.

SALM(Simultaneous localization and mapping) and AI(Artificial intelligence) have been active research areas in robotics for two decades. In particular, localization is one of the most important tasks in mobile robot research. Until now expensive sensors such as a laser sensor have been used for mobile robot localization. Currently, the proliferation of RFID technology is advancing rapidly, while RFID reader devices, antennas and tags are becoming increasingly smaller and cheaper. So, in this paper, the smart floor using passive RFID tags is proposed and, passive RFID tags are mainly used for identifying location of the mobile robot in the smart floor. We discuss a number of challenges related to this approach, such as tag distribution (density and structure), typing and clustering. In the smart floor using RFID tags, the localization error results from the sensing area of the RFID reader, because the reader just knows whether the tag is in the sensing range of the sensor and, until now, there is no study to estimate the heading of mobile robot using RFID tags. So, in this paper, two algorithms are suggested to. The Markov localization method is used to reduce the location(X,Y) error and the Kalman Filter method is used to estimate the heading($\theta$) of mobile robot. The algorithms which are based on Markov localization require high computing power, so we suggest fast Markov localization algorithm. Finally we applied these algorithms our personal robot CMR-P3. And we show the possibility of our probability approach using the cheap sensors such as odometers and RFID tags for mobile robot localization in the smart floor

In this paper, we study the design and implementation of an auto recognition system by using wireless sensor node. RFID system has a limited communication range and communication network is damaged, it is impossible to communicate. Therefore, easy installation and low cost wireless system are required in an area where the installation of communication between RFID system and monitoring system is difficult, or a portable RFID system is installed. The auto recognition system in this study is implemented by the combination of 13.56MHz RFID system using MLX12115 RFID chip of Melexis company and wireless sensor node system using CC2420 Zigbee chip of Chipcon company. As a result, we develop an auto recognition system which makes it possible to get tag's information wirelessly. Also, it has a simple circuit structure and is small in size.

The EPC-Discovery Service (EPC-DS) is a good representative of the RFID Track & Trace. But this mechanism has several problems. EPC-DS uses centralized server scheme which may arise bottle-neck state and that cannot provide detail trace information of a RFID object. In addition, a trace node requires direct access method to a RFID object or an element which has information of the RFID object for Track & Trace. In this paper, we propose a novel RFID Track & Trace mechanism which based on the SIP presence model and SIP event notification. This mechanism can provide detail trace information and monitoring function, and also can rid the bottle-neck section by combination of SIP methods instead of centralized element.

The excitement over radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has gained momentum in the last five years, with a diversification in the range of applications. Besides academic research into radio frequency identification (RFID) has proliferated over the last few years, however there is much to be desired on Packaging industry. In this paper, we present a literature reviews of researches of RFID system on Packaging, especially focused on RFID system standardization into packaging. There is not any packaging standard or guidance about tag locations, classification with the materials and so on. Therefore it hampers reduction of the distribution costs on political and corporate sides, and lack consistency of applying RFID system. The main focus of this review paper is to establish a constituency about legislating RFID system standard on packaging. It is hoped that the review will be a good resource for future research in order to applly RFID system to Packaging industry effectively.

Construction supply chain management (CSCM) has become one of the critical factors that determine the success of a construction project as it becomes increasingly complicated and mega-sized. Particularly for high-rise or mega-sized building construction, just-in-time supply chain management is required due to lack of storage space and effective logistics for construction components and materials at a construction site. Despite the fact that research and development of radio frequency identification (RFID) and wireless sensor network (WSN) technology have been performed, construction project managers still need to carry mobile devices and check material and component flow at each stage of the supply chain process. This research proposes that the equipment used in the construction supply chain process, such as movers, trailers, gates, and hoists, can become main actors in the supply chain process using RFID and WSN technologies. And the proposed equipment and process focused on a solution to the redundancy identification problem, which has been observed in operations that use RFID/WSN-based processes for construction logistics. This paper also presents issues identified through verification and validation of the research results and proposes further studies.
