Q-algorithm is proposed at EPC global Class-1 Generation-2 RFID systems to determine the frame size of next query round. In Q-algorithm, the reader calculates the frame size without estimating the number of tags. But, it uses only the slot conditions: empty, success, or collision. Therefore, it wastes less computational cost and is simpler than other algorithms. However, the constant parameter C value, which is used for calculating the next frame size, is not optimized. In this paper, we propose the optimized C values of Q-algorithm according to the number of tags within the identification range of reader through a lot of computer simulations.

RFID/USN 서비스가 활성화되기 위해서는 그 근간이 되는 주파수 할당 및 기술 기준 제정이 선행되어야 한다. 하지만 현재의 RFID/USN 기술 기준은 주파수 간섭 문제를 해결하기 위한 RFID Gen. 2 규격의 도입 및 Sub-GHz 대역의 USN 기술 발전 추이를 반영하고 있지 못하고 있다. 이에 UHF 대역 주파수 재배치 계획과 맞물려 현행 기술기준을 개정하려고 하는 움직임이 방송통신위원회를 중심으로 이루어지고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 RFID/USN주파수 할당 및 기술 기준 개정 현황을 소개하고, 이를 주파수 간섭 측면에서 분석하고자 한다.

In the recent years, the companies have manually recorded a production status in a work diary or have mainly used a bar code in order to collect each process's progress status, production performance and quality information in the production and logistics process in real time. But, it requires an additional work because the worker's record must be daily checked or the worker must read it with the bar code scanner. At this time, data's accuracy is decreased owing to the worker's intention or mistake, and it causes the problem of the system's reliability. Accordingly, in order to solve such problem, the companies have introduced RFID which comes into the spotlight in the latest automatic identification field. RFID is an automatic identification technology by radio communication technology that allows us to identify or record information without contacting the corresponding object, and as Gen2 and EPCIS, EPCglobal's standard tag for RFID, have recently been established, it will be introduced to the whole computation industry. This study suggests RFID type Modeling Notation for analyzing logistics flow to improve MES focusing on extended model of EPCIS, and EPCISEvent Template in manufacturing industry.

In Gen-2 Q-algorithm, the initial value of $Q_{fp}$, which is the slot-count parameter, is not defined in the standard. In this case, if we let the initial $Q_{fp}$ be large, the number of empty slot will be large during the initial query round. On the other hand, if the initial $Q_{fp}$ is small, almost all the slots will be collided. As a result, it is anticipated that the performance will be declined because the frame size does not converge to the optimal point quickly during the query round. In this paper, we analyze how the performances of Gen-2 Q-algorithm will be affected by the initial slot-count size.

In the Gen-2 Q-algorithm, the values of weight C, which is the parameter for incrementing or decrementing the slot-count size, are not optimized in the standard. However, the standard suggests that the reader uses small values of C when the slot-count is large and larger values of C when the slot-count is small. In this case, if the reader selects an inappropriate weight, there are a lot of empty or collided slots. As a result, the performance will be declined because the frame size does not converge to the optimal point quickly during the query round. In this paper, we propose a scheme to select the weight based on the slot-count size of current query round. Through various computer simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme achieves more stable performances than Gen-2 Q-algorithm.

This paper describes the project for constructing a traceability system for producing using RFID antenna in 900MHz frequency band and the consideration. In this project we reviewed analysis of properties classified by production process and RFID system through each frequency band, and designed a single unit RFID reader including antenna. The developed antenna is optimized to a field condition and this paper will show the test results. Also, we designed a single unit RFID reader by adding a reader to a designed antenna and explained the rule of tag memory allocation. Lastly, after running the system we could calculate visible and invisible effects of operation results and check up a wide possibility of application for RFID.

In Gen-2 Q-algorithm, the value of initial $Q_{fp}$ and weight C is not defined in the standard. If we let the initial $Q_{fp}$ be large or small, the number of empty slot will be large during the initial query round or almost all the slots will be collided, respectively. Also, if the reader selects an inappropriate weight, there are a lot of empty or collided slots. As a result, it is anticipated that the performance will be declined because the frame size does not converge to the optimal point quickly during the query round. In this paper, we analyze how the performances of Gen-2 Q-algorithm will be affected by the weight and initial slot-count size.

In this paper, we suggest how to adapt RFID system to train switching process, and then what we get the merit or problem. We analyze the train switching process to adapt RFID system on the process and have field test. The role of RFID system in train switching process is to automatically read car position information. The specification of the test system is 900MHz, and Gen2 passive tag. If we get the system which automatically read car position information in train switching yard, it prevents human errors and makes more reliability, the performance of train operation will grow up. Even though the environment of train switching yard is outdoors, the test result gives us the ability to adapt RFID system to train switching process and the process will be more simple.

The RFID system is very useful in various fields such as the distribution industry and the management of the material, etc. However, the RFID system suffers from various attacks since it does not have a complete authentication protocol. Therefore, this paper propose the authentication protocol that used key server to resist various attacks including DoS(Denial of Service) attack. For easy implementation, the proposed protocol also uses CRC, RN16 generation function existing in EPCglobal class 1 gen2 protocol. This paper performed security analysis to prove that the proposed protocol is resistant to various attacks. The analytical results showed that the proposed protocol offered a secure RFID system.
