What is RFID ? • Stands for Radio Frequency Identification • Uses radio waves to provide unique identification (i.e. serial number) plus data • Is one form of automatic identification Antenna Tags Reader
RFID Overall Operations Tag Reader Host Computer
What the Reader gets from Tags EPC(Electronic Product Code)
How do they look like? www.datasoft.se www.eff.org Readers Printer and Smart Label (barcode + tag) www.barcoding.com www.kennedygrp.com Tags www.smartcodecorp.com glossary.ippaper.com
Tag RFIDs in Our Living Spaces
RFID System • The tag consists of antenna and a microchip • The reader consist of a transmitter, receiver, and one or more antennas • (if any) The printer is a type of stationary reader which prints smart label that consists of a barcode and a RFID tag • The backend computer system called Savant server • Communication protocols • Interfaces to the computer networks like the Internet • The special system software called Middleware

RFID Tag • RFID Tag is a device used to transmit information such as a serial number to the reader in a contactless manner • The tag has a typically up to 4K bytes memory in size(recently, 128K bytes tag is available) • Classified as • Passive • Active • Semi-passive(semi-active) • Also called transponder
RFID Readers • The reader is known as interrogator which can read and write data to the RFID tags • The reader powers the tag by sending it RF energy • The reader consists of • transceiver(transmitter/receiver), antenna • microprocessor, memory, controller(firmware) • communications interfaces • power supply
RFID Printers • Readers are classified as stationary or handheld • The RFID printers is a type of stationary reader which print smart label that consists of a barcode and a RFID tag • Information such as sender id, receiver id, product information, etc can be printed
Tag-Reader Coupling • Inductive Coupling(유도결합) • Backscatter Coupling(후방산란 결합)
Security Issues in RFID “Kill” Command
Security Issues in RFID Active Jamming
Security Issues in RFID The Faraday Case Radio Shielding Antenna Reader Tags Metal Network or Foil
Blocker Tag(RSA) Only the tag labeled with the blocker securely communicates with the reader
Collision Issues in RFID Intra-reader Collision Antenna Reader Tags
Collision and Radio Interference Between Readers Inter-reader Collision and Radio Interference Antenna Antenna Reader Reader Tags

Why “Zigbee” ? Bees flying in the Zig-Zag style !!!
6LoWPAN IPv6 over Low power WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network-IEEE802.15.4/Zigbee)
IEEE 802.15.4 Physical Layer * All use the DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) access mode
Multiple Access Single Medium Shared by Multiple Users: only one can send successfully at a time
TDMA • Time-Division Multiple Access • Access to channel in "rounds" • Each node gets fixed length slot (length = frame tx. time) in each round • A frame consists of slots from each node • Unused slots go idle • Example: 6-node LAN, 1,3,4 have frames, slots 2,5,6 idle Slot(time slice) Frame
FDMA • Frequency-Division Multiple Access • Channel spectrum divided into frequency bands • Each node assigned fixed frequency band • Unused tx time in frequency bands go idle • Example: 6-node LAN, 1,3,4 have frames, slots 2,5,6 idle time 1 2 3 frequency bands 4 5 6
CDMA • Code-Division Multiple Access • Every channel uses the entire spectrum • Also called as spread spectrum • Unique code(referred to as chipping sequence) assigned to each user; i.e., code set partitioning • allows multiple users to “coexist” and transmit simultaneously with minimal interference (if codes are orthogonal) • FHSS: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum • DSSS: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
