Middleware Technology in Radio Frequency Identification
Jian Zhang · ZTE communications · 2007
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), as a new technology, has been developing rapidly in recent years. Middleware is one of the most important components in the RFID system. It provides functions of tag data processing and reporting. The mechanism of inner processing is based on state transition of event cycle specification. As a software system, the middleware structure is object-oriented, and it uses the idea of design patterns. The growing trend of middleware may be combining network element management functions, supporting multi-standard of tags, and accommodating different RFID reader vendors.
