Design of mobile NFC extension protocol for various ubiquitous sensor network environments

Abstract

The mobile RFID related technologies that offer similar services as NFC were also analyzed to understand the potential linkage to NFC and the requirements for the linkage. To apply the linking method of two technologies suggested in this paper, the dual tag development with marketability and NDEF decoder development as well as additional technology development, standardization, and patents of related technologies are required. Based on these efforts, if the mobile RFID and NFC technologies are linked, the companies can use the existing infrastructures to reduce the initial technological costs. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media.
