Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), as the name suggests, is technology that makes use of radio frequency electromagnetic wave to automatically identify objects. In spite of its broad applications, a RFID system might inherently produce some false and duplicate readings. Such reading data would affect the accuracy of the RFID system and might result in an unreliable performance or even complete unavailability of the system. In this paper, a reading rate-based algorithm is proposed to efficiently clean RFID data for a local business in product tracking. The method takes advantage of the proportional relationship between reading rate of a RFID tag and its distance to the reader to filter among raw data sets. Using the proposed reading rate-based algorithm, the reading accuracy of the RFID system in the local business is greatly improved.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) system has been expected to be expanded in new fields. This paper shows a sensing system for urination by embedding an RFID tag into a paper diaper. The urination could be checked by change of the antenna characteristics. It could be possible to reduce physical and mental strain of both patients and their care personnel. In order to detect the urination, the RFID antenna was designed and the characteristics of the antenna were calculated. In addition, the antenna characteristics were measured with a phantom. As the result, urination considerably changes the antenna characteristics and that the system can be used to detect the urination.

Individual data are valuable for assessing the health, welfare and performance of broilers. In particular, data on the first few days of life are needed to study the predictive value of traits recorded early in life for later life performance. However, broilers are generally kept in groups, which hampers individual identification and monitoring of animals. Sensor technologies may aid in identifying and monitoring individual animals. In this study, a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) system was implemented to record broiler activity, in combination with traditional video recordings. The two main objectives were (1) to validate the output of the RFID system by comparing it to the recorded locations on video, and (2) to assess whether the number of antennas visited per unit time could serve as a measure of activity, by comparing it to the distance recorded on video and to the distance moved as recorded using a validated ultra-wideband (UWB) tracking system. The locations recorded by the RFID system exactly matched the video in 62.5% of the cases, and in 99.2% of the cases when allowing for a deviation of one antenna grid cell. There were moderately strong Spearman rank correlations between the distance recorded with the RFID system and the distance recorded from video (rs = 0.82) and between UWB and RFID (rs = 0.70) in approximately one-hour recordings, indicating that the RFID system can adequately track relative individual broiler activity, i.e., the activity level of a broiler in comparison to its group members. As the RFID tags are small and lightweight, the RFID system is well suited for monitoring the individual activity of group-housed broilers throughout life.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology may be applied to cylindrical objects, but the curving of an RFID tag brings on an increase in resonant frequency of the tag antenna. The tag can not function in an excessively curving case, since the deviation of the antenna resonant frequency from working frequency makes a reduction in inductive energy supplied by a transmitter. The variation in antenna resonant frequency is dependant upon column radius of the cylinder and curving angle of the tag. Analytically, it is found that a reduction in central distance, which is determined by column radius and curving angle, between compound straight tracks leads to the decreasing of overall antenna-coil inductance after the curving of the tag. By introducing a curving turn exponent, the overall antenna-coil inductance is calculated. After neglecting the less variation in overall tag capacitance, the antenna resonant frequency may be estimated. The result provides an instruction for designing a curving tag antenna to fit the tag antenna resonant frequency for working frequency of an RFID system.

A tag collision problem (or missed reads) in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system happens when multiple tags respond to a reader simultaneously. At this time, the reader cannot differentiate these tags correctly. This problem is often seen whenever a large volume of RFID tags are read together in the same radio frequency field. Tag collisions will degrade identification efficiency, and this unreliable identification will compromise the usefulness of RFID system. This chapter introduces tag collision problem and discusses tag anti-collision protocols, including ALOHA-based protocol, Binary Tree (BT) protocol, and Query Tree (QT) protocol. To date, most tag anti-collision protocols are QT protocols. Thus, in this chapter, the authors briefly describe some elegant researches on QT protocols, and also introduce their recent research results on QT protocols.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is widely used in various applications such as attendance system, tracking system, monitoring system or parking system. Currently, the existing parking system used manual entrance through security guard to access the premise. Therefore, the company need to hire security guard to monitor the premise. In addition, the security guards need to monitor all movement of vehicle or person that enter or leave the premise. As a result, unauthorized vehicle or person can easily access the building. To address this problem, we proposed a parking system using RFID technology that can monitor vehicle’s movement that enter or leave the specific area or place by scanning the RFID tag. The potential benefit is it can improve security for both security guards and users. Besides that, this parking system can facilitate access control for users and improve traffic flow during peaks period. There are five modules in the proposed parking systems which are user registration, vehicle registration, RFID tag, staff and report generation.

In the traditional RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) system, a secure wired channel communication is used between the reader and the server. The newly produced mobile RFID system is different from the traditional RFID system, the communication between the reader and the server is based on a wireless channel, and the authentication protocol is suitable for traditional RFID systems, but it cannot be used in mobile RFID systems. To solve this problem, a mutual authentication protocol MSB (Most Significant Bit) for super lightweight mobile radio frequency identification system is proposed based on bit replacement operation. MSB is a bitwise operation to encrypt information and reduce the computational load of communication entities. Label, readers, and servers authenticate first and then communicate, MSB may be used to resistant to common attacks. The security analysis of the protocol shows that the protocol has high security properties, the performance analysis of the protocol shows that the protocol has the characteristics of low computational complexity, the formal analysis of the protocol based on GNY logic Gong et al. (1990) provides a rigorous reasoning proof process for the protocol.
