Re: f Active RFID Closing Report for the San Francisco July 2011 Session
Abstract: Closing Report for the July 2011 Active RFID Session in San Francisco.
Purpose: This amendment defines a Physical Layer (PHY), and those Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) modifications required to support it, for Active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) readers and tags. It allows for efficient communications with active RFID tags and sensor applications in an autonomous manner in a promiscuous network, using very low energy consumption (low duty cycle), and low PHY transmitter power. The PHY parameters are flexible and configurable to provide optimized use in a variety of active RFID tag operations including simplex and duplex transmission (reader-to-tag and tag-to-readers), multicast (reader to a select group of tags), uni-cast as in reader to a single tag, tag-to-tag communication, and multi-hop capability.
