Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is one of the modern names that is becoming increasingly popular, as a result of many years of researches and investigations. Powerful hardware and software tools have contributed, and still do, to place the radio-frequency identification as a popular and widely used technology, from large corporations to individuals, and custom applications. Although RFID offers many advantages over other technologies, it is essential to be aware of its limitations. Therefore, it will be possible to overcome the limitations and to increase its applications. As an example, cost, safety, security, transmissions formats, and international standards are important merit figures of continuous improvement. In this book, we present important proposals that will certainly contribute to the evolution of RFID. Theoretical and practical aspects are presented and discussed by the authors, and thus we invite everyone for a pleasant reading.

Download or read book Radio Frequency Identification and Privacy Law written by Julie Manning Magid and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The indiscriminate nature of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology creates unique privacy issues. RFID holds great promise as a disruptive technology that will reshape the way individuals live. However, the undeniable privacy concerns, not only of data collected by RFID in particular, but also other indiscriminate technologies that are similarly disruptive, have received inadequate focus. The Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPP) is an outdated view of privacy for advanced technology such as RFID. A future challenge is to develop privacy standards that go beyond the narrow understanding of privacy evidenced in FIPP, while allowing increased efficiency and effectiveness through the use of RFID. We address this challenge by integrating several theoretical lenses of privacy in this paper and applying an integrative approach to data collected using RFID. The intent of this article is twofold. First we provide a baseline definition of privacy beyond the legal precedents and understanding, by incorporating other theoretical perspectives so as to frame broadly our discussion of RFID data collection. Second, we begin the discussion of potential solutions to managing private data obtained through RFID technology with an emphasis on data expiration policies as an important component of data retention practices. In Part II of this paper, we provide the relevant background for our discussion, including the capabilities of RFID and related technologies that raise issues of privacy protection. The current regulation of technology and attempts to legislate RFID technology is highlighted. In the first portion of Part III, we examine the law and economics underpinnings of privacy law as an important base for the specific concerns raised by RFID. The second portion of Part III outlines legal models for further expansion of individual privacy rights in light of expanding technological capabilities. We argue that current legal scholarship often fails in two crucial aspects when considering regulation of technology with privacy implications. The first demands limiting the operational use of the technology and discouraging developing the full potential of technological advances. The second is that the legal theory does not incorporate adequately a range of important understandings about privacy gleaned from economic, behavioral, and sociological research. In Part IV we discuss three theoretical lenses concerning privacy: behavioral economics, communications privacy management, and social networks. Each lens offers relevant insight for evaluating privacy law and constructing privacy rights while permitting technological advancement. We advocate in Part V for an integrative privacy approach utilizing the three crucial Integrative Considerations gleaned from our integrative theoretical research: 1) individuals expect to own, control, and share personal information even after disclosing it; 2) advancing technologies raise concerns about individuals' bounded rationality and ineffective analysis of the costs and benefits of disclosing personal information; and 3) the significant threat to personal privacy comes not from the initial disclosure of personal information but from the subsequent re-use, transfer to third parties, and aggregation of that information. This Part concludes by applying the Integrative Considerations to data collected by RFID. This integrative approach requires limits on information obtained through RFID, including the types of information gathered, the time frame in which the information is used and then expired, and the re-use and transfer of information.

Book excerpt: Backscatter modulation is the keystone behind the technical and commercial success of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) in applications that require fast, efficient, and automatic identification of tagged objects. Owing to RFID's ultra low cost and low power attributes, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and other biological/physiological sensing applications now use backscatter modulation as a communication link. These systems build upon existing RFID industry protocols such as ISO 18000-6C (or EPC Gen2). RFID tags do not use an active RF transceiver architecture, but instead operate on a principle similar to RADAR. A nearby RFID reader transmits a continuous wave that the tag's antenna partially scatters back to the reader's antenna array. By switching its antenna impedance loading between different values, the tag modulates the antenna scattering observed by the reader. Therefore reverse engineering RFID at the systems level will provide new insights and design recommendations. This dissertation focuses on three key areas relating to backscatter modulation and RFID systems: 1) analyze the co-design of backscatter modulation and error correction coding, 2) characterize space-time coding and MIMO performance limits of the dyadic backscatter channel, and 3) hybrid-ARQ (HARQ) and random access improvements to the Gen2 protocol. Passive and semi-passive RFID tags depend on scavenged energy to power their IC. While backscatter modulation itself consumes a negligible amount of energy, the modulator creates an impedance mismatch between the tag's antenna and power harvester, thereby decreasing the antenna to the tag power transfer efficiency. This required impedance mismatch couples the link performance to the power harvester's performance, so to quantify this tradeoff, we introduce a new metric: backscatter power efficiency loss per bit. Higher order constellations improve the link's spectral efficiency, but have lower power efficiency as compared to binary modulation schemes. We propose new coded modulation schemes based on unequal error protection, which improves both the spectral efficiency and the backscatter power efficiency loss metric. MIMO processing is a canonical technique to improve wireless link capacity and reliability, which will require future tags and readers to have multiple antennas. The dyadic backscatter channel (DBC) models the behavior of small-scale fading in RFID MIMO systems, however, its statistics differ from those of the classic Rayleigh fading MIMO channel. We analytical characterize the performance of space-time trellis codes and orthogonal space-time block codes, derive an upper bound to the pairwise error probability (PEP), and derive the maximum diversity order of the DBC. Unlike Rayleigh fading, the diversity order only depends on the number of tag antennas but not the number of reader receive antennas. In fading channels, MIMO techniques offer two opposing performance gains: diversity (reliability against outage events) or multiplexing gain (spectral efficiency). The diversity multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) is an asymptotic measure that quantifies the achievable diversity for a given multiplexing gain. Starting from the definition of the DBC and the DMT of the double scattering channel, the corresponding DMT of the DBC is derived. The statistics of the DBC limit the amount diversity when compared to the Rayleigh MIMO channel, although the available multiplexing gain is unchanged. Increasing the number of receive antennas improves both diversity and multiplexing gain until the receive antenna count equals the number of tag antennas, otherwise additional receive antennas offer no gains with respect to the DMT. The current EPC Gen2 standard does not use any form of error correction and does not allow for fast link adaption between reading separate tags. We consider a protocol that uses HARQ algorithms without requiring major changes to the Gen2 protocol. In addition, we develop theoretical models that capture EPC Gen2's baseline performance and capacity in terms SNR and tag read rate. Existing HARQ algorithms, such as Chase combining (CC) and incremental redundancy (IR), are studied via simulations and the performance quantified in terms of tag read rate. The simulation results show that CC allows for graceful system degradation and IR achieves read rates close to EPC Gen2's capacity limit. Random access plays a critical role in RFID tag singulation. EPC Gen2 uses frame slotted ALOHA (FSA) to arbitrate channel resources between tags, but FSA has low efficiency due to empty slots and collisions. To aid in tag collision resolution, we consider multiuser detection (MUD) and incremental redundancy enhancements to the FSA protocol. The theoretical performance of the MUD receiver is analyzed from a compressive sensing viewpoint. As an example of a practical code construction, we evaluate the performance of punctured second order Reed Muller codes. These enhancements improve FSA's throughput and its response to high system loads.

This book was released on 2022-01-09 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives on Knowledge Management The unprecedented developments in Information and communication technologies resulted in the speedy transition of the Industrial society into the Knowledge Society. Now the efficiency in knowledge Management determines the quality, speed and Development in all spheres of human activity. Experts from different academic disciplines have contributed to the growth of this innovative domain of knowledge as well as to the methods and techniques for managing it. Digital technologies make it possible to transfer or access knowledge transcending the limitations of space and time. Knowledge Management processes have started to get much importance along in the manufacturing processes. Knowledge is defined as 'the remembering of previously learned material. This may involve the recall of a wide range of material, from specific facts to complete theories, but all that is required is bringing to mind the appropriate information. Knowledge represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the cognitive domain'. Knowledge Management is the broad process of locating, organizing, transferring and using the information and expertise within an organization. The overall knowledge management process is supported by four key enablers: leadership, culture, technology, and measurement. In his prophetic words, Management Guru, Peter F. Drucker, observed that "the most important, and indeed the truly unique, contribution of management in the 20th century was the fifty-fold increase in the productivity of the Manual Worker in manufacturing. The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is similarly to increase the productivity of Knowledge Work and the Knowledge Worker." (Drucker, 1999. Knowledge-Worker Productivity: The Biggest Challenge. CMR41.(2). Considering the importance and relevance of this innovative area that has roots in different subject areas such as information science, Decision science, Social and economic activities, manufacturing, health care systems

Book excerpt: How RFID, a ubiquitous but often invisible mobile technology, identifies tens of billions of objects as they move through the world. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is ubiquitous but often invisible, a mobile technology used by more people more often than any flashy smartphone app. RFID systems use radio waves to communicate identifying information, transmitting data from a tag that carries data to a reader that accesses the data. RFID tags can be found in credit cards, passports, key fobs, car windshields, subway passes, consumer electronics, tunnel walls, and even human and animal bodies—identifying tens of billions of objects as they move through the world. In this book, Jordan Frith looks at RFID technology and its social impact, bringing into focus a technology that was designed not to be noticed. RFID, with its ability to collect unique information about almost any material object, has been hyped as the most important identification technology since the bar code, the linchpin of the Internet of Things—and also seen (by some evangelical Christians) as a harbinger of the end times. Frith views RFID as an infrastructure of identification that simultaneously functions as an infrastructure of communication. He uses RFID to examine such larger issues as big data, privacy, and surveillance, giving specificity to debates about societal trends. Frith describes how RFID can monitor hand washing in hospitals, change supply chain logistics, communicate wine vintages, and identify rescued pets. He offers an accessible explanation of the technology, looks at privacy concerns, and pushes back against alarmist accounts that exaggerate RFID's capabilities. The increasingly granular practices of identification enabled by RFID and other identification technologies, Frith argues, have become essential to the working of contemporary networks, reshaping the ways we use information.
