题目: Recent Advance in Application-level Protocol Design for RFID Systems

摘要：RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies are expected to revolutionize warehouse management and exert a profound impact on our daily lives. Comparing with barcodes that have to be read from a very close range by a laser scanner, RFID tags have great advantages: they can be read wirelessly over a distance, and can perform simple computations. RFID technologies have many important applications in automatic toll payment, access control to parking garages, object tracking, and theft prevention. In this talk, we will discuss recent advance in application-level protocols design for RFID systems. We will cover an array of interesting problems, including missing-tag detection, dynamic information collection, tag number estimation, and reading throughput improvement. In particular, we will focus on sensor-augmented RFID systems. After RFID tags are deployed to make the attached objects wirelessly identifiable, a natural next step is to invent new ways to benefit from this
