RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) devices or tags, in their basic form, are useful as identification and proximity sensors. When augmented with other environmental sensors, RFIDs can also be turned into other wireless sensors. This project addresses ubiquitous RFID-based systems enabled by dense deployment of RFID tags/sensors, and RFID readers, where the readers are themselves inter-connected using a wireless ad hoc network. The goal of the readers is to access the RFID tag/sensor data and relay the necessary information to an application running on a central computer system. The project considers design and evaluation of protocols and algorithms to exploit redundancy and diversity in the form of tag multiplicity, reader multiplicity, antenna diversity, and multiplicity of operating modes for the tags. Communication protocols for tag-to-reader and reader-to-reader communication, as well as mechanisms for efficiently answering higher-level queries from applications are of particular interest.Expected results from the project include efficient protocols and algorithms to exploit redundancy and diversity in RFID systems, and demonstration of their efficacy by experimental or simulation-based methods. Results from the project will be disseminated via publications in conferences and journals. The project has significant potential for impact on practical utility of RFIDs, by improving the accuracy and efficiency of RFID access and queries. Potential applications include object tracking on factory floors, and sensing applications in home and office environments.

RFID（射频识别）设备或标签的基本形式可用作识别和接近传感器。当与其他环境传感器相结合时，RFID 也可以变成其他无线传感器。该项目致力于通过密集部署 RFID 标签/传感器和 RFID 读取器来实现无处不在的基于 RFID 的系统，其中读取器本身使用无线自组织网络进行互连。阅读器的目标是访问 RFID 标签/传感器数据并将必要的信息转发到中央计算机系统上运行的应用程序。该项目考虑协议和算法的设计和评估，以利用标签多重性、阅读器多重性、天线多样性和标签操作模式多重性形式的冗余和多样性。用于标签到阅读器和阅读器到阅读器通信的通信协议，以及有效回答来自应用程序的高级查询的机制特别令人感兴趣。该项目的预期结果包括利用冗余和多样性的高效协议和算法。 RFID 系统，并通过实验或基于模拟的方法展示其功效。该项目的结果将通过会议和期刊上的出版物进行传播。该项目通过提高 RFID 访问和查询的准确性和效率，对 RFID 的实际应用具有巨大的影响潜力。潜在的应用包括工厂车间的物体跟踪以及家庭和办公室环境中的传感应用。
