Massive Data Reading with Mobile Data Collectors for the Internet of Things

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The Internet of Things (IoT) supports the connectivity of almost everything including powerless simple devices (such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags), making it an indispensable technology for future industry and business. This project is to develop systematic and cost-effective approaches by leveraging existing cellular networks for the connectivity of simple sensors/devices using mobile data collectors (such as smart phones) so that their information becomes available to IoT applications via cellular systems. For example, products’ information stored in RFID tags or power-limited sensors' data can be provided to logistic or IoT applications, respectively, without building dedicated systems via existing cellular systems.
