This paper presents the VHDL implementation procedure of the passive RFID tag in Ultra High Frequency RFID system. The operation of the tag compatible with the EPCglobal Class1 Generation2(GEN2) protocol is verified by timing simulation after synthesis and implementation on prototyping board. Due to the reading range with relatively large distance, a passive tag needs digital processor which facilitates faster decoding, encoding and state transition for enhancement of the interrogation rate. Also with UART communication, verify a inventory Round in Gen2 Protocol. The verification results with the fastest data rate, 640kbps, and multi tags environment scenario show that the implemented tag spend 1.4ms transmitting the 96bits EPC to reader.

This paper implements a RFID multi-band multi-protocol reader platform, possible to select one of the UHF bands used in particular for distribution system in RFID, that is, from 860MHz to 960MHz, through programmable configuration. It also enables implemented platform in this paper to recognize many kinds of TAG protocol, such as EPC Class 1 GEN 1, Class 1 Gen2, ISO 18000-6A, B and C.

This paper investigates the performance of EPCglobal Generation-2(Gen-2) radio frequency identification(RFID) protocol under reader-to-reader interfering environments. We establish a modified discrete-time Markov chain(DTMC) model for the Gen-2 and accordingly obtain quantitative results of query success rate(QSR) and tag identification speed (TIS). Extensive simulations validate our theoretical analysis and demonstrate that the number of tags over 100 has little impact on the performance. TIS linearly decreases by 10 tags/sec/reader as the number of interfering readers increases. Our model for Gen-2 protocol is also useful to study the performance of other RFID protocols.

This paper proposes an authentication protocol using the key server in the ECPglobai RFID system. The proposed authentication protocol uses the key server and the time-out mechanism to resist various attacks including DoS(Denial of Service) attack. For easy implementation, the proposed protocol also uses the function existing in EPCglobal class 1 gen2 protocol without additive function such as hash function. The proposed protocol is evaluated through two analytical methods. The correctness of the proposed protocol is proved using the GNY analysis. By the security analysis, this paper showed that the proposed protocol is resistant to various attacks including DoS attack. The analytical results demonstrated that the proposed protocol offered a secure RFID system.

유통분야에서 물품관리를 위해 사용되었던 바코드를 대체할 차세대 인식기술로 꼽히는 RFID 기술은 IT기술의 주요 시장으로 부상하면서 다양한 연구가 이루어지고 있는 분야이다. 유통 및 물류분야에서는 다량의 물품을 실시간으로 식별해야 하는 경우가 필요한데 이를 위해 여러 개의 리더가 동시에 사용 된다. RFID 시스템을 구축하는데 있어서 다중 리더 운영 기법은 전체 RFID 시스템의 성능을 좌우한다. EPCglobal에서 제안 된 Gen2 프로토콜은 900MHz 대역의 단일 통합 표준으로서 ISO/IEC 18000-6 C타입으로 채택되었다. 하지만 Gen2 프로토콜에서 다중 리더 운영 정책에 대해서 Session 기능을 간단히 내놓았을 뿐 자세한 소프트웨어 응용법을 제시하지 않았으며, 이에 관한 미들웨어 연구도 이루어지고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 현재 Gen2 프로토콜에서의 태그 인식 기술과 EPCglobal에서 제안하는 RFID 프로토콜, Sesssion 개념을 소개하고 Gen2 프로토콜을 이용하는 RFID 시스템에 다중 리더 관리 모듈을 설계를 통해 다중 리더를 운영하는 기법을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose an improved anti-collision algorithm. We have designed an anti-collision unit using this algorithm for the 18000-6 Type C Class 1 Generation 2 standard (Gen2). The Gen2 standard uses a Q-algorithm for incremental method on the Dynamic Slot-Aloha algorithm. It has basically enhanced performance over the Slot-Aloha algorithm. Unfortunately, there are several non-clarified parts: initial value. If an incorrect value is selected, it causes degradation in performance. To increase throughput and system efficiency, and to decrease tag identification time, we propose an improved anti-collision algorithm. prorosed Q algorithm has an increment of 5% of system efficiency and a decrement of 9% of tag identification time.

RFID technology, as one contact-less identification technology with using electronic tag, is the field where its multiple researches have been studied. Especially, in the field of supply chain management, when it is necessary to identify a lot of objects by real-time, performance of anti-collision algorithm for multiple tag identification has an effect on performance of entire system. GEN2 is global, open, interoperability protocol for UHF RFID system, the active researches and developments are processed about it. In this paper, we introduce an anti-collision algorithm based on Slotted-ALOHA for GEN2 protocol, focus on estimating number of tags and setting number of slots and review the previous works. We propose new scheme that can estimate number of tags efficiently, and define system efficiency newly when it's used in setting number of slots. We also present result of compare and analysis with previous scheme through simulation. The proposed scheme of estimating number of tags is easy to implement, number of tags which is less than 4 times of number of slots can estimate tags efficiently, we also proved that identification efficiency based on weighted-slot distinguished with definition of previous slot efficiency can improve system efficiency.

Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) has been considered as an key infrastructure for the ubiquitous society. However, due to the inherent drawbacks, RFID causes var- ious security threats like privacy problems, tag cloning, etc. This paper proposes a novel practical approach, which are fully conformed to EPCglobal RFID Gen2 standard, for enhancing security of currently used RFID Gen2 tags against the various security threats.

EPCglobal Class-1 Gen-2 protocol has been proposed for UHF-band RFID systems. In Gen-2 standard, Q-algorithm was proposed to select a frame size for the next query round without estimating the number of tags. Therefore, the Q-algorithm has advantage that the reader's algorithm is simpler than other algorithms. However, it is impossible to allocate the optimized frame size. Also, the original Q-algorithm did not define an optimized parameter C for adjusting the frame size. In this paper, we propose an adaptive Q-algorithm with the different parameter $C_c$ and $C_i$ in accordance with the status of reply slot. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive Q-algorithm outperforms the original Gen-2 Q-algorithm.
