Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are believed to be the two most important technologies in realizing the ubiquitous computing vision of Future Internet. RFID technology provides much cheaper solution for object identification and tracking based on radio wave. On the other hand, data on various parameters about the physical environment can be acquired using WSNs. Integration of the advantages of both RFID systems and WSNs would benefit many application domains. In RFID system, either an active RFID tag itself or an RFID reader (reading passive or semi-passive tags) consisting of an RF transceiver poses communication capability similar to that for nodes in WSNs. Therefore, instead of using single hop RFID protocol, RFID networks can take advantage of WSN-like multihop communication, and in this regard a number of WSN protocols can be useful for such RFID systems. In this chapter we present possible scenario of the integration of RFID system and WSNs and study a number of wireless sensor network protocols suitable to use in RFID system.
