Course Description
This course is aimed to give an overview of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) system, including the component technology, network protocols and main applications. Although ubiquitous RFID deployment or the so-called Internet-of-Things (IoT) has been proposed for quite a long time, serious research and commercial efforts have just been booming for less than a decade. Many countries in East Asia, Europe and North America have now dedicated special initiatives and strategic research to the RFID system and its broad potential applications in logistics, security/privacy, intelligent infrastructure, healthcare management, independent living, transportation, food traceability, and product lifecycle monitoring.
