Today, Hospital Information System that integrates ubiquitous technologies are introduced in limited basis due to problems like standardization and limits on medical use, where responsibilities lie, legal safeguard on transmission, invasion of privacy etc. Particularly, problems like absence of tag design suitable for medical environment, compatibility issue with previous medical information system. In order to solve such problems, we have designed medical tags for the first time that are consistent with future ubiquitous environment by deciding on medically suitable field with 96bit tag offered by EFC as its base. Second, improving on previous multi-tag recognizing crash prevention algorithm, we have designed a priority anti-collision algorithm that reflects priorities on the needs in medical environment.

Arbitration of tag collision is a significant issue for fast tag identification in RFID systems. A good tag anti-collision algorithm can reduce collisions and increase the efficiency of tag identification. EPCglobal Generation-2 (Gen2) for passive RFID systems uses probabilistic slotted ALOHA with a Q algorithm, which is a kind of dynamic framed slotted ALOHA (DFSA), as the tag anti-collision algorithm. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Q algorithm used in Gen2, and analyze the methods for estimating the number of slots and tags for DFSA. To increase the efficiency of tag identification, we propose new tag anti-collision algorithms, namely, Chebyshev's inequality, fixed adjustable framed Q, adaptive adjustable framed Q, and hybrid Q. The simulation results show that all the proposed algorithms outperform the conventional Q algorithm used in Gen2. Of all the proposed algorithms, AAFQ provides the best performance in terms of identification time and collision ratio and maximizes throughput and system efficiency. However, there is a tradeoff of complexity and performance between the CHI and AAFQ algorithms.

This paper introduces an efficient voltage multiplier circuit for improved voltage gain and power efficiency of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The multiplier is fully integratable and takes advantage of both passive and active circuits to reduce the required input power while yielding the desired DC voltage. A six-stage voltage multiplier and an ultralow power voltage regulator are designed in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ complementary metal-oxide semiconductor process for 2.45 GHz RFID applications. The minimum required input power for a 1.2 V supply voltage in the case of a 50 ${\Omega}$ antenna is -20.45 dBm. The efficiency is 15.95% for a 1 $M{\Omega}$ load. The regulator consumes 129 nW DC power and maintains the reference voltage in a 1.1% range with $V_{dd}$ varying from 0.8 to 2 V. The power supply noise rejection of the regulator is 42 dB near a 2.45 GHz frequency and performs better than -32 dB from 100 Hz to 10 GHz frequencies.

인터넷 사용인구의 증가로 인한 물류 수송량의 증대를 맞아 많은 양의 물품들이 생산 공장과도 도매상 등을 거쳐 소비자에게 전달된다. 이에 여러 가지 물건들이 하나의 박스 등을 이용해 담겨져 보내어질 때, 박스에 담긴 물품의 정확한 개수 확인이 이루어지지 않는다면, 물품의 정확한 개수에 대한 재확인 및 물품의 개수가 맞지 않을 때의 사후 조치에 드는 비용 등을 통해 물류처리에 들어가는 전체 시간의 지연과 동시에 처리 비용의 증가를 초래하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 박스 등에 담긴 물품의 정확한 개수 확인을 위해 RFID 태그와 리더, 미들웨어를 사용해 정확한 실시간 물품의 개수를 측정할 수 있는 기법에 대한 연구를 담고 있으며, 이러한 연구는 물류처리 전체 시간 지연 및 처리 비용 감소에 대한 한계점을 극복하기 위하여 제시한다.

A low power concumption 2.4 GHz one-chip transceiver MMIC was designed and fabricated using $1.0\mu\textrm{m}$ ion-implantation MESFET process and packaged on a 24 lead SSOP. In the transmitter mode, it revealed conversion gain of 7.5 dB, output IP3 of -3.5 dBm, and noise figure of 3.9 dB at 2.44 GHz with 3.9 mA current consumption. In the receiver mode, it revealed voltage sensitivity of 6.5 mV/$\mu\$W with 2 .0 mA current consumption. Comparing the fabricated MMIC with the results of MMICs reported elsewhere, it was shown that the fabricated MMIC had good performance. The low power consumption 2.4 GHz transceiver MMIC is expected to be used for various applications such as wireless local area networks, wireless local loops and RFID tags in ISM-band.

EPCIS(EPC Information Services) system is a core component of EPCglobal Architecture Framework offering information of the freights, the time of awareness and the location of awareness on the EPCglobal Network. The role of EPCIS is to exchange information based on EPC. There are four kinds of event data which are object event data, aggregation event data, quantity event data, and transaction event data. These EPCIS events data are stored and managed in EPCIS repository. This study suggest the quantitative modeling about total number of EPCIS event data under the assumption to aware the RFID tags of items, cases(boxes), vehicles(carriers, forklifts, auto guided vehicles, rolltainers) at a time on the reading points. We also estimate the number of created EPCIS event data by the suggested quantitative modeling under scenario of process in the integrated logistics center based on RFID system And this study compare the TO-BE model with the AS-IS model about the total sizes of created EPCIS event data using the simulation, in which we suggested the TO-BE model as the development of the repository by skipping the overlapped records.

RFID 시스템은 전자태그를 상품에 부착하여 리더를 통해 태그를 인식함으로써 상품의 정보 및 위치정보를 추적할 수 있다. 태그 객체의 위치정보는 시간에 따라 궤적 정보가 누적되는 이동체와 유사한 특성을 가지지만 이동체의 위치와 달리 태그의 위치는 리더의 위치로 인식되며 위치보고가 리더의 인식영역 안에서만 이루어지므로 시간축에 평행한 interval의 형태를 나타난다. 태그가 리더의 인식영역에 들어와 나가지 않으면 궤적이 완성되지 않아 리더에 머물고 있는 태그의 궤적을 표현할 수 없으므로 질의 시 이러한 태그를 검색할 수 없다. 시공간 이동체 색인에서는 이러한 태그의 특성을 표현하기 힘들기 때문에 태그의 특성을 고려한 색인이 필요하게 되었다. TPIR-Tree(Time Parameterized Interval R-tree)는 시간 매개변수 간격으로 태그의 interval을 정의하여 리더안에 머무는 태그의 interval을 표현할 수 있다. 그러나 각 interval이 시공간적으로 연결되어 있지 않아 색인 상에서 태그의 궤적을 검색하는 것은 매우 높은 검색 비용을 가지는 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 태그 궤적 검색 시 TPIR-Tree의 높은 검색 비용문제를 해결한 $TPIR^{*}$-Tree를 제안한다. 제안된 $TPIR^{*}$-Tree는 색인에서 태그의 궤적 정보를 유지할 수 있도록 하기 위해서 시간적으로 연결되지 않은 각 interval을 연결하기 위한 기법을 제시하고 있다. 또한. interval을 색인에 삽입할 때 연결정보를 유지하기 위해 이전 interval을 효율적으로 검색할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 있다.

The supply of context information is increasing with the propagation of ubiquitous computing environment. Recently, as context information is being collected through electronic tags and sensors attached to the environment, we need methods to efficiently store and search large volumes of data. This paper describes the application of the RLE (Run Length Encoding) compression method for sensors that continuously collect data in USN/RFID terminals.Time information is marked on the data and one data block is generated and saved. This paper proposes a storage method that allows us to quickly search data of the desired time and place by recording time information in continuous data.

The PS algorithm divides the tags within the identification range of reader into smaller groups by increasing the transmission power incrementally and identifies them. In 13.56MHz RFID system of Auto-ID center, STAC protocol is defined as an anti-collision algorithm for multiple tag reading. In this paper, we propose a STAC/PS algorithm that the PS algorithm is applied in the STAC protocol. The simulation results show that the STAC/PS algorithm can achieve faster tag identification speed compared with STAC protocol due to the low collision rate.

Internet of Things (IoT) is the paradigm of network of Internet-connected things as objects that constantly sense the physical world and share the data for further processing. At the core of IoT lies the early technology of radio frequency identification (RFID), which provides accurate location tracking of real-world objects. With its small size and convenience, RFID tags can be attached to everyday items such as books, clothes, furniture and the like as well as to animals, plants, and even humans. This phenomenon is the beginning of new applications and services for the industry and consumer market. IoT is regarded as a fourth industrial revolution because of its massive coverage of services around the world from smart homes to artificial intelligence-enabled smart driving cars, Internet-enabled medical equipment, etc. It is estimated that there will be several dozens of billions of IoT devices ready and operating until 2020 around the world. Despite the growing statistics, however, IoT has security vulnerabilities that must be addressed appropriately to avoid causing damage in the future. As such, we mention some fields of study as a future topic at the end of the survey. Consequently, in this comprehensive survey of IoT, we will cover the architecture of IoT with various layered models, security characteristics, potential applications, and related supporting technologies of IoT such as 5G, MEC, cloud, WSN, etc., including the economic perspective of IoT and its future directions.
