Integrating sensors with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags would make RFID systems capable of obtaining environmental parameters. For such sensor tags, the IEEE 1451.7 standard presents a general sensor interface and extensive sensing configurations. This paper presents the hardware and software architecture of a reconfigurable UHF sensor tag platform, RFIDsense, and implements the IEEE 1451.7 protocol based on a Linux platform with a temperature sensor. Test results show that the system is functional and can conduct smart sensing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
