Revisiting Smart Dust with RFID Sensor Networks

چکیده
We argue that sensing and computation platforms that leverage RFID technology can realize “smart-dust” applications that have eluded the sensor network community. RFID sensor networks (RSNs), which consist of RFID readers and RFID sensor nodes (WISPs), extend RFID to include sensing and bring the advantages of small, inexpensive and long-lived RFID tags to wireless sensor networks. We describe sample applications suited to the space between existing sensor networks and RFID. We highlight the research challenges in realizing RSNs such as the use of intermittent power and RFID protocols suited to sensor queries.

Demonstration: RFID Sensor Networks with the Intel WISP
We demonstrate a simple RFID sensor network comprised of an Intel WISP and a commodity UHF RFID reader. WISPs are devices that gather their operating energy from RFID reader transmissions, in the manner of standard RFID tags, and further include sensors, e.g., accelerometers, and provide a very small-scale computing platform. We believe that this makes them an attractive alternative to motes fo...
متن کامل1 RFID and Sensor Networks From Sensor / Actuator to Business Application
Introduction In the past years a significant change for computer networks occurred: the rise of direct device-to-device or machine-to-machine communication within general computer networks. The most visible and publicly discussed example is the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for improved supply chain management [1,2]. Several large retail chains as well as the US Department o...

1.0 Project Goal Smart Dust motes are self-contained, millimeter-scale sensing and communication platforms for a massively distributed sensor network [61,71]. They will ultimately be around the size of a grain of sand and will contain micro/nano sensors, computational ability, bi-directional wireless communications, and a power supply. There exist endless possibilities for the applications of t...
