Micronetwork Interfaces for RFID Tags: A New Paradigm for Reader-Tag Communication

Overview As RFID systems become ubiquitous and used in a plethora of distinct applications, the functionality that may be contained within the RFID tags will become extremely varied. RFID tags are typically implemented as small embedded systems consisting of one, or a very few, microchips. Ubiquity will bring standardization of the communication interfaces, enabling multiple manufacturers to produce tags with the same interfaces and possibly different functionality or produce a single component implementing specific functionality that is integrated with the tags from multiple vendors. This paper provides an overview of RFID systems. Since tags are small embedded systems, the paper describes embedded systems and their use of micronetworks for component communication.
