For a dense RFID reader deployment, such as in a warehouse, where hundreds of readers will be positioned in a building, the interference between all these readers must be studied carefully to avoid disruption of operations. Strict RFID regulations and standards have been imposed, trying to address the problem of reader collision and also the problem of RFID devices interfering with other device...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is becoming increasingly important and is being used in business, production, manufacturing and logistics industries. However, RFID technology is still not fully development. This article examines the collection of some of the issues and challenges facing the RFID technology adoption in industrial applications and offers an initial roadmap to view the chall...

In recent years, the development of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has led to many applications in the military domain. Compared to the vast amount of research on RFID security, there is little research on RFID survivability. In this paper, we present a theoretical survivability impact model for military RFID. Due to a lack of military data, our research is entirely based on available pu...

rfid has already found its way into a variety of large scale applications and arguably it is already one of themost successful technologies in the history of computing. Beyond doubt, rfid is an effective automatic identification technology for a variety of objects including natural, manufactured and handmade artifacts; humans and other species; locations; and increasingly media content and mobi...

The book provides a comprehensive coverage on most recent developments in chipless and conventional RFID. It covers a wide range of topics from component level design, analysis, and development, to system integration, middleware, anti-collision, and security protocols. The chipless RFID will bring revolutionary impacts on low-cost item tagging in this millennium. The RFID based sensors and RF s...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) innovations have gained considerable attention in the last several years and attracted the attention of organizations across different industries. RFID technologies have found applications in diverse areas such as package tracking, inventory management, baggage handling, school attendance, and logistics. Prior literature on RFID innovations offers insights ...

The availability of fast anti-collision algorithms is crucial for most RFID applications. This paper aims to evaluate these algorithms for applications in which it is not intended to identify the entirety of moving objects but to detect as much tags as needed to allow orientation. The navigation of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) by distributed landmarks is an example which clarifies the discri...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology designed to automatically identify a myriad of everyday objects and people. Due to widely spread of the RFID applications, some useful message can be attacked by adversaries. Thus, to eliminate the security problem, the security requirements for privacy-preserving RFID authentication protocols are evident. In this paper, we discuss unique ma...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a hot topic in retail supply chain management [Behrenbeck, Küpper et al. 2004]. Yet, a recent study predicts “that the true benefits of RFID for retailers will be in enhanced marketing opportunities” [Sharpless 2005]. Research on RFID for marketing purposes is still rare giving the opportunity for more specific research on how RFID will influence busines...
