Design and Implementation of an Active RFID System Based on Bluetooth Low Energy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Active RFID systems are widely used in modern industries. Typical application of the active RFID system is the identification and the position tracking of warehouse and freight container. Traditional design methods of active RFID system need special RFID readers to read and write the active RFID tags. This paper presents a novel active RFID system that can be easily read by smart phones. This new active RFID system was based on Bluetooth Low Energy. In the system, any device equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 such as iPhone 4S or the android based smart phones can be used as the reader. It was easy to use and costs effective. In the paper, we describe the detailed design of the novel active RFID system and the performance evaluation of the system.
