RFID systems: research trends and challenges

The book provides an insight into the hot field of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, and reviews various algorithms, protocols and solutions that were developed in the RFID area, with an emphasis on the most recent ones.The authors cover a wide range of recognized problems in RFID networks, striking a balance between theoretical and practical coverage. The theoretical contributions are limited to the scenarios and solutions that are believed to havepractical relevance. This book is unique in addressing RFID networking in a comprehensive manner, covering all aspects and providing up to date information. The book includes discussions on the following topics: Components of RFID systems and performance requirements, RFID tag design, RFID reader design, RFID middleware: concept and architecture, Aloha-based protocols, Tree based protocols, Other types of tag identification protocols, RFID protocols for dynamic environments, Interfacing readers - current solutions, Reducing interference inRFID reader networks - MAC algorithms, Redundant reader and tag report elimination problems, Addressing mobility and energy-conservation issues in the MAC layer, Delay tolerant mobile tags, Deployment of large RFID networks, Improving positioning accuracy of the tags - passive and active, Mapping, navigation and proximity detection using RFID technology, Improving read rates and ranges for the passive RFID systems, Improving security issues in RFID systems, Addressing privacy issues in RFID systems, Novel RFID technologies, and Developing RFID simulators and emulators.
