RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)는 라디오 신호에 따라 반응하는 태그(Tag)를 이용하여 해당 사물을 인식하는 기술이다. RFID 이벤트의 특징은 짧은 시간 내에 빠르게 생성되며 생성된 각각의 RFID 이벤트 정보는 단순하지만 대량의 이벤트들을 처리할 수 있으며 추가적인 정보를 태그에 담을 수 있다. 이러한 장점으로 물류나 재고관리 유통분야 등에서 RFID를 이용하여 시스템을 자동화하고 있다. RFID를 시스템에 적용하기 위해서는 RFID이벤트의 특성을 고려하여 시스템이 개발되어야 한다. 그러나 여전히 기존의 RFID 시스템은 해당 어플리케이션의 비즈니스 이벤트를 처리하기 위해 RFID에 대한 다양한 지식과 통신 방법 등을 이해해야 하는 복잡함을 가지고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 이기종의 플랫폼에서 개발, 동작하는 어플리케이션 개발을 지원하는 측면에서도 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 이기종의 RFID 어플리케이션과 ALE를 지원하기 위한 비즈니스 이벤트 프레임워크(Business Event Framework, BEF)를 제시하였다. 또한 실제 이기종의 플랫폼에서 개발된 어플리케이션을 지원하기 위해 어플리케이션 매니저(AppManager)를 정의하였다. 마지막으로 RFID 관련 기술을 개발자가 모두 이해해야함을 최소화 하기위해 비즈니스 이벤트 스펙(Business Event Spec, BESpec)을 정의하였다.

An RFID system has been widely applied in many areas over the initial SCM application. In the literature enormous RFID applications in healthcare are documented to improve patient safety, patient/provider logistics, and the efficiency of collecting data. Based on the proposed 4-layered RFID system architecture, we introduce a case that implemented an UHF passive RFID-based tracking system in an outpatient clinic. Particularly, we propose a method to process RFID data that contains noise and missing reads. The proposed method for processing unreliable RFID data is capable to locate the tag accurately and provide additional business information. We finally conclude the paper with identifying obstacles and what is necessary to ensure system reliability.

Recently, as REID Tag and Reader has been attached to, and wireless internet has been added to a mobile phone, the commercialization of Mobile RFID Service to obtain necessary information on daily life and use various applications by using mobile communication infra is drawing nearer. A new returns by Mobile RFID Service can be expected, however, the exact demand forecasting for the Mobile RFID Service is essential to induce mass investment from related communication enterprises. This study tries to get a foothold in enlarging the investment from related communication enterprises through demand forecasting for the Mobile RFID Service and to be helpful to the decision on their investment by predicting the demand on the service various Mobile RFID Service Models.

We are moving into the era of ubiquitous computing. Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) is a base of such computing paradigm, where recognizing the identification and the position of objects is important. For the object identification, RFID tags are commonly used. For the object positioning, use of sensors such as laser and ultrasonic scanners is popular. Recently, there have been a few attempts to apply RFID technology in robot localization by replacing the sensors with RFID readers to achieve simpler and unified USN settings. However, RFID does not provide enough sensing accuracy for some USN applications such as robot navigation, mainly because of its inaccuracy in distance measurements. In this paper, we describe our approach on achieving accurate navigation using RFID. We solely rely on RFID mechanism for the localization by providing coordinate information through RFID tag installed floors. With the accurate positional information stored in the RFID tag, we complement coordinate errors accumulated during the wheel based robot navigation. We especially focus on how to distribute RFID tags (tag pattern) and how many to place (tag granularity) on the RFID tag-floor. To determine efficient tag granularities and tag patterns, we developed a simulation program. We define the error in navigation and use it to compare the effectiveness of the navigation. We analyze the simulation results to determine the efficient granularities and tag arrangement patterns that can improve the effectiveness of RFID navigation in general.

Nowadays, to realize ubiquitous computing environment, many research activities have been going on within various kinds of research domains including automatic identification sensor network, home network, telematics and so on. Especially, RFID middleware that supports the aggregation of RFID tag data, control and management, and the integration with legacy systems has recently gained a lot of attention. Meanwhile, EPCglobal defined an ALE(Application Level Events) standard specification, which exists between RFID readers and applications, and substitutes the previous systems called Savant. In the specification internal structures and implementation technologies of ALE are not mentioned and only external interfaces are defined. This approach easies the verification of standard compliance and inter-operability of the layer. In this paper, we present the design of ALE-compliant RFID middleware systems that process RFID tag data efficiently.

With the recent rapid growth of RFID technologies, the Application of RFID systems into the medical or the military industries as well as into the distribution and logistics industry are now attempted continuously. The government and private sectors plan to carry out various small and large scale projects related to RFID systems. However, many companies attempting to apply RFID systems applications into their organizations are encountering many several difficulties because of the lack of installation experience and the absence of an useful guideline. This paper focuses on identification and classification of typical barriers to the successful application of RFID systems according to the five-step method of system application process. Moreover a "barrier map" is produced by conducting a survey and interviews by specialists. In addition, a practical guideline to overcome such barriers is presented and discussed.

Radio frequency identification system (RFID) is an automatic technology and aids machines or computers to identify objects, record metadata or control individual target through radio waves. Connecting RFID reader to the terminal of Internet, the readers can identify, track and monitor the objects attached with tags globally, automatically, and in real time, if needed. This is the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). RFID is often seen as a prerequisite for the IoT. This paper introduces amd surveyed the technologies of RFID and IoT, discusses the applications and challenges of RFID technology used in IoT.

A long range UHF RFID tag with a rectangular metallic cavity structure is proposed for various applications with metallic objects. The proposed tag consists of a rectangular metallic cavity structure and a folded dipole antenna which is located on top of the cavity. The tag is designed for Korean UHF RFID band(910~914 MHz) and the bandwidth, which satisfies the -10 dB input reflection coefficient requirement, is approximately 1.3 %(904~916 MHz). Measurement demonstrates that the proposed tag shows long reading range up to 15 m when it is placed on a metallic plate.

RFID reader protocol is an interface between RFID readers and higher (host) such as RFID middlewares and applications. At present, reader protocols provided by vendors are different from each other and there are compatibility problems in environment using heterogeneous readers. In this paper, to solve this problem, an RFID reader which supports LLRP(Low Level Reader Protocol), a well-known standard reader protocol presented by EPCglobal is designed and implemented. It is designed with two modules and supports various interfaces for easy adaptation to various applications. The LLRP protocol is implemented over a embedded LINUX multi-thread environment. It not only supports almost all properties of LLRP, and is designed with flexible hardware/software architecture to meet various requirements.
