In this paper, we have developed RFID systems with integrated tag location data for efficient logistics information systems. These are consist of RFID readers with GPS module and RFID networks to service tag location data. The developed RFID readers can get location informations Of the tags, transfer them high speed by TCP/IP protocols, and operate as web servers. And we presented a simple service network system based on EPC network to service both location and tag data. The proposed system can be applicable to tracebility or finding locations of the products.

As RFID is utilized more frequently and diversely in terms of its application areas, the application of mobile RFID technology, which integrates cellular networks and RFID, is highly anticipated. The growth and development of the RFID field has bolstered the development of mobile RFID chips to be embedded in mobile phones. Because mobile RFID chips are embedded in cell phones, limitations such as low power, small form factor, and costliness must be confronted. This study presents the design of a RFID digital baseband processor that is suitable for mobile readers. The RF analog component, which affects the baseband signals, is designed separately, in consideration of the limitations stated above. The function of the baseband processor was verified through simulations and prototyped using FPGA. The power consumption of the chip is 20mW under a 20MHz clock and the chip measures $3mm{\times}3mm$.

Recently, RFID technology has attracted considerable attention in many industry fields. The RFID environment requires a standard architecture for the smooth exchange of data between heterogeneous networks. The architecture should offer an efficient standard environment, such as a communication environment based on Web Services, PKI or Kerberos-based security, and abstract business processes which could be used in the diverse domains. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an Enterprise Application Framework (EAF) which includes a standard communication protocol, security functions, and abstract level business processes. The suggested architecture is expected to provide a more secure and flexible security management in the dynamic RFID application environments, and is expected to provide an abstract business event for the development of business processes which could apply RFID technology to the existing systems.

RFID technology is one of the core technologies for ubiquitous computing, and many research activities have been going on in this research area currently. Related with these researches, mobile RFID network services using mobile devices having a built-in RFID reader and mobile networks have been launched in Korea, for the first time in the world. In this paper, we propose a method to coulect ALE middleware suggested by EPCglobal and existing mobile RFID network services. Especially, a RFID code conversion method is proposed to process mobile RFID code systems within ALE middleware systems. Using the proposed method, application developers and(or) content business industries can acquire the information they want, which is filtered and refined in real-time or periodically, from mobile RFID users. So, they can Provide customized services to users by using the user preference information. In this war, the ALE middleware system can be easily extended to process mobile RFID code effectively.

지난 몇 년 동안 컴퓨터 네트워크에는 다음과 같은 중요한 일이 발생하였다. 장치 대 장치, 기계 대 기계의 통신이 컴퓨터 네트워크에서 주요한 이슈로 떠오른 것이다. 그 중에 가장 눈에 띄는 주제 중 하나인 WSN에 속한 RFID이다. 이 RFID와 WSN의 통합에 대한 아이디어는 퍼베이시브 컴퓨팅에서 나오게 되었다. RFID와 WSN은 퍼베이시브 컴퓨팅의 주요 요소이고, 이 두 가지 기술은 현실 세계와 가상 세계를 묶어주는 역할을 한다. 하지만 RFID와 WSN은 각각 병렬적으로 개발되고 있으며, 비즈니스 애플리케이션의 통합을 위해서는 자세한 규칙과 방법들이 연구되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 RFID와 WSN가 통합된 비즈니스 도메인을 위한 시스템 아키텍처 프레임워크 모델링을 제안한다. RFID와 WSN을 동시에 이용해서 SCM을 관리하는 것이다. 이를 위해서 RFID와 WSN, 각각의 기술에 대한 요소를 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 그래픽 모델링 환경(GME)을 이용해서 비즈니스 도메인을 위한 시스템 아키텍처 프레임워크 모델을 만든다.

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.

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.

As RFID technology is becoming ubiquitous, the secunty of these systems gets much attention. Its fields of usage include personal identification, supply-chain management systems, and many more. Many kinds of RFID tags are available on the market which differ both in storage, and computational capacity. Since by standard IT means all the tags have small capacities, the security mechanisms which are in use in computer networks are not suitable. For expensive tags with relatively large computational capacities many secure communication protocols were developed, for cheap low-end tags, only a few lightweight protocols exist. In this paper we introduce our solution, which is based on the least computation demanding operator, the exclusive or function. By introducing two tags instead of one in the RFID system, our scheme provides security solutions which are comparable with those provided by the lightweight protocols. In the meantime, our scheme does not demand any computational steps to be made by the ta.

RFID technology using the smart tag technology as a part of the sensor network is currently in the spotlight. But there are still many problems in applying the technology in a ubiquitous environment, induding at the point when anybody can read the tag information and the authentication between the tag and the reader, and security problems in very low-cost smart tag implementation. The proposed scheme is designed to enhance security and efficiency related to various services required in RF networks, based on the reliable peripheral devices for users of passive RFID tag. Using passive RFID tag, which has been applied to authentication transactions in existing papers, this study also proposed an appropriate management scheme that is suitable for a dynamic environment and setting a temporary group to provide various services. also proposed scheme is support RFID grouping, temporary group of service and security servicce, improved efficiency of communication.

A smart tag complements various problems caused by the expansion of the use of existing magnet cards. This emerged as a result of the need for alternative means to perform safer and more diverse functions. RFID tags are becoming increasingly ubiquitous sensor networks and Internet of Things technologies as they give everything an ID, enabling automatic recognition of objects and forming a communication network between them. In this paper, a contactless RFID smart tag reader composed of RFID tags and readers using AVR processor was developed. The system has a low frequency band of 13.56MHz and is designed by PWM method of communication velocity 26.48kbps. The developed RFID smart tag board showed a faster response rate than the typical RFID system as a result of the simulation, and the actual experiment also showed an improvement in response rate.
