Embedded RFID tracking system for hospital application using WSN platform

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are two important wireless technologies that have variety of applications and provide unbounded future potentials. However, RFID and sensor networks nearly are under growth in similar way. Integration of RFID and wireless sensor networks attracts little attention from research community. In this paper, RFID system, Zigbee Module and GSM Communication are discussed firstly. Few existing systems and proposed system were compared in terms of technology and implementation of RFID and GSM integration for different types of application. Proposed system was described in details in terms of development of a user interface system.
