NEDG: Efficient Protocol Design for RFID Systems

NEDG：RFID系统的高效协议设计互联网通过将众多计算机连接在一起，彻底改变了世界。现在，人们正在见证另一场革命，数十亿件实物物品，如衣服、文件夹、书籍和其他物品都连接到计算机上。这一愿景正在成为现实，这要归功于支持射频识别(RFID)技术，该技术允许阅读器远程读取贴在物品上的廉价标签上的信息。为了使这项技术能够在现实应用中读取海量标签，设计高效的RFID通信协议至关重要。对当前RFID研究的分析表明，高层数据消费者和低层无线通信工程师之间存在着一种二分法--大多数对低层可见的信息对高层是隐藏的。这种受限、节流的接口会导致与效率和安全相关的问题。为了解决这一问题，本项目旨在应用跨层设计方法，使高层数据用户可以利用从下面暴露的更多信息来解决存在的问题。智力优势：该项目将设计协议和算法，为非常相关的库存控制应用提供更好的性能，帮助RFID行业的研究人员了解“跨层设计”的力量，并指导RFID通信协议的设计，使相关信息可供高层使用。广泛影响：这项工作将潜在地对RFID通信协议的工业标准产生影响。该项目还将通过向学生介绍RFID中的算法和系统设计来整合研究和教育。

NEDG: Efficient Protocol Design for RFID SystemsInternet revolutionized the world by connecting numerous computers together. Now people are witnessing another revolution when billions of physical items, such as clothes, folders, books, and other items are connected to the computers. This vision is becoming a reality, thanks to the supporting Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, which allows a reader to read remotely information from an inexpensive tag attached to an item. To enable this technology for reading massive tags for realistic applications, it is crucial to design efficient protocols for RFID communication. The analysis to the current RFID research shows that a dichotomy exists between the high layer data consumer and the low layer wireless communication engineer -- most of the information visible to the low layer is hidden from the high layer. This restricted, throttled interface results in efficiency and security related problems. To solve the problem, this project aims to apply cross-layer design methodology so that high layer data users may harness more information exposed from below to solve the existing problems.Intellectual Merit: The project will design protocols and algorithms that deliver better performance for very relevant inventory control applications, help researchers in RFID industry to understand the power of "cross-layer design", and guide the design of RFID communication protocols to make relevant information available to the high layer.Broader impact: This work will potentially have an impact in the industrial standard for RFID communication protocols. The project will also integrate research and education by introducing algorithm and system design in RFID to students.
