Editorial: Special Issue on Intelligent RFID Network and Innovative Applications

Recent developments in the field of radio frequency technologies have led to numerous challenges in providing comprehensive performance for the next generation wireless networks. Meanwhile RFID as the one of important core technology in toward this future approach, have been implemented extensively for different kind applications. Those applications direct to the obviousness that issues in electromagnetic, signal collusion, privacy and security have decreased RFID role in industry implementation. In designing RFID devicesmore challenges and difficulties are become significant due to the low-cost and low-source factors. This has encouraged researchers to think hard in developing more secure and accurate RFID tags. Therefore this edition present the papers that addressing the solution diverse issues in RFID system such as: tag antenna and propagation, communication protocol, security and privacy, system tools, RF-based localization, RFID system architecture, deployment issue, and also applications. Chi-Yi Lin and Wen-Tsung Cheng from Tamkang University, Szu-Chi Wang from National I-Lan University implemented hybrid system integrating GPS and RFID technologies to address three important factors in providing detail and reliable end to end logistics managements. Their implementation focuses in multiple heterogeneous location system in approach to extend functionality in information delivering method.
