Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile RFID Networks: Challenges and Opportunities

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter centers on delay/disruption-tolerant mobile RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) networks. In particular, we introduce a Featherlight Information Network with Delay-Endurable RFID Support (FINDERS), composed of passive RFID tags which are ultra light, durable, and flexible, without power supply for long-lasting applications under strict weight constraints and harsh environments. It expands the use of RFID gear for wireless network construction, aiming to find events of interest and gather aggregate information. In this chapter, we present an analytic model to show the feasibility of FINDERS and discuss the communication and networking challenges therein, due to its sporadic wireless links, unique asymmetric communication paradigm, intermittent computation capability, and extremely small memory of tags.
