Abstract:
Provided are a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and apparatus and method for locating a RFID tag without comparing arrival times of blink signals transmitted from the RFID tag in order to quickly trace a location of the RFID tag. The RFID tag includes a tag ID generator configured to generate a tag ID of the RFID tag, a blink generator configured to generate a plurality of sub-blink signals that form the blink signal, a sub-blink ID generator configured to generate sub-blink IDs for the generated sub-blink signals, a sub-blink ID inserter configured to insert the generated sub-blink IDs into the sub-blink signals, and a transmitter configured to transmit the blink signal having the tag ID and the sub-blink IDs.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a wireless signal receiving apparatus, and more particularly, disclosed is a parallel automatic frequency offset estimation apparatus and method for tracking a frequency offset in an early stage by calculating, in parallel, frequency offsets of a received signal. The parallel automatic frequency offset estimation apparatus includes a receiving unit to receive a data frame; and a frequency offset estimation unit to calculate, in parallel, frequency and phase deviations at different bit intervals within a particular section of the received data frame, to add together the frequency and phase deviations to obtain a first sum of the frequency and phase deviations, and to add the first sum to a frequency phase deviation calculated for each bit after the particular section in the received data frame to obtain a second sum of the frequency and phase deviations. Accordingly, transmission frequency tracking can be performed at higher speed, compared to the conventional systems in which frequency offset acquisition is carried out in stages. Also, accurate tracking of a transmission frequency is possible in an initial frame.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an RFID authentication apparatus having an authentication function and a method thereof. An RFID authentication method includes determining, by an authentication reader, an AES key using authentication information received from an authentication tag, generating an output key, encrypting a predetermined length of confirmation data by using the output key, transmitting the encrypted confirmation data to the authentication tag, receiving encrypted confirm response data corresponding to the confirmation data from the authentication tag to decrypt the encrypted confirm response data, and comparing the predetermined length of the confirmation data with the decrypted confirm response data to verify authenticity of the authentication tag.
Abstract:
In a method of allocating a bandwidth of a passive optical network, downward data are transmitted by varying a wavelength based on a wavelength division method and upward data are transmitted using a time division method. Thereby, by efficiently allocating a network bandwidth, data can be transmitted and by realizing statistical multiplexing, transmission efficiency can be improved.
Abstract:
A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag and an interrogator that support a normal mode and a secure mode, and operating methods thereof are provided. The RFID tag may notify the interrogator of whether a current operating mode of the RFID tag is the normal mode or the secure mode, may perform different inventory processes based on the current operating mode, and may perform an authentication of the interrogator. Here, the RFID tag and the interrogator may also perform a mutual authentication.
Abstract:
A total history management system using a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and a barcode. The system includes an RFID tag, a barcode recorder and a barcode reader. The RFID tag is attached to a box containing a plurality of individual products to store an environmental history of a distribution. The barcode recorder is configured to provide, to each of the plurality of individual products, a barcode in which identification (ID) information of the RFID tag is recorded. The barcode reader is configured to recognize the barcode attached to each of the plurality of individual products, and to output the environmental history of the distribution, corresponding to the ID information of the RFID tag that is received in response to a query with respect to the RFID tag, using the recognized barcode.

Abstract:
In a radio frequency identification (RFID) security reader, by integrating an encryption module that encrypts transmission data and a decryption module that decrypts reception data from an RFID security tag to restore the reception data to original data to a modem, an input/output time period of a processor module that processes a communication protocol in an RFID security system is minimized.
