This work shows hence two such parameters and analyzes their performance in terms of setup independence.","PeriodicalId":205916,"journal":{"name":"2015 International EURASIP Workshop on RFID Technology (EURFID)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127896830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as a result of such exposition, these systems become vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks that can cause unavailability in the services. Furthermore, another complicating factor in that context regards the equipment or devices used on RFID systems, since they operate in frequency bands reserved for secondary communication systems, and consequently they have too few computational resources to deal with malicious electromagnetic interferences. Therefore, in this paper an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is proposed to identify the occurrence of the malicious behavior and to notify the system operator about one specific type of electromagnetic interference in RFID systems - the Jamming attack. The obtained results of the system show the jamming attacks are detected prior of having a significant impact on the communication between the RFID reader and the tag - i.e., the jamming attack was detected even with insufficient power to impact on communication.","PeriodicalId":205916,"journal":{"name":"2015 International EURASIP Workshop on RFID Technology (EURFID)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123086388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Namely, when a tag transitory loses CW signal, upon recovery, it does not continue taking part in the reading round. This effect impacts in the RFID reading efficiency, and may lead to different criteria to compute the optimal frame-length configurations. In this extended abstract we develop an analytical model that allows computation of the distribution of the number of identifications under outage effect. Based on this distribution, we obtain the mean number of identifications for a few setups. The main conclusion is that outage effect may lead to noticeable differences in the number of identifications (up to 22% in our experiments). In the full version of this paper we expect to provide results for additional setups, and to study optimal frame-length selection policies under continuous wave outage effect.","PeriodicalId":205916,"journal":{"name":"2015 International EURASIP Workshop on RFID Technology (EURFID)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124485353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most solutions are based on classical receive beamforming techniques, like the angle-of-arrival estimation, that are prone to multipath and deliver low localization accuracies. Therefore, a new approach for estimating the position of a passive UHF RFID tag is introduced that uses a transmit beamforming technique called 'Angle-of-Activation' (AoAct). It is based on manipulating the shape of the radiation pattern of the reader's transmit antenna array. Based on a set of power levels and phases for the transmit signals of the array elements, the I and Q components of the complex baseband phasor are calculated. In comparison to analog techniques, this new approach delivers higher angular accuracy of the radiation patterns. The self-developed digital beamforming hardware is able to pivot the main lobe of a three- element antenna array in a range between -52° and 52° with a mean angular resolution of 0.02°. By utilizing the very sensitive response threshold of passive UHF RFID tags, the AoAct can be estimated wiht high accuracy. Experimental measurements deliver a mean AoAct accuracy of 1.2° in the anechoic chamber, 19° in a basic multipath environment, and 2.5° in a real-world multi-path environment in a range of ±45°.","PeriodicalId":205916,"journal":{"name":"2015 International EURASIP Workshop on RFID Technology (EURFID)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125758325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tags choose one of the offered slots for transmission and it can happen that some of the slots are empty, some have just one tag active - singleton slots and in some of the slots several tags are transmitting - collision slots. A standard compliant reader is capable of acknowledging just the tags from singleton slots. If a collision recovery is employed, even some of the tags from the collision slots can be acknowledged. This requires certain changes in the standard as modification of a tag signal and consequently the change of slot durations. In this paper, we propose two different ways of acknowledging colliding tags and we derive analytical formulas for calculating the expected frame duration in collision scenarios and the expected number of identified tags. Furthermore, we evaluate the proposed schemes by means of Monte Carlo simulations.
