The application of animal tracking holds significant importance across diverse economic domains, encompassing sectors including livestock husbandry, agricultural practices, and the conservation of wildlife populations. It aims to track and understand animal behavior, movement patterns, and health status. The predominant use of RFID technology is observed within the domains of logistics, localization, and the tracking of goods. Notably, the application of this technology in the field of animal tracking has experienced a significant surge in popularity in recent years. This paper conducts a systematic literature review focused on understanding how RFID technology is being applied in the field of animal tracking. We have conducted a state-of-the-art research regarding animal tracking solutions in the scientific literature and patents. We have analyzed these solutions targeting which animals are being tracked, which problems are addressed, operating frequency, and whether other technologies are combined with RFID for animal tracking purposes. Among the categories of problems addressed, livestock management emerged as the main area, followed by animal tracking and traceability. Mammals, especially cattle, are the most common type of animal monitored. Considering RFID technology, passive UHF tags appeared more often. Moreover, many works also employed cameras and GPS together with RFID. Finally, this work can significantly contribute to this field by systematically presenting a state-of-the-art application of RFID for animal tracking.

The emerging need for green technologies motivates the development of new approaches to manufacture electronic consumables. In case of low-cost mass-production sensors, the problem becomes even more severe due to the generation of environmental waste. Here we demonstrate an RFID-type sensor based on a caramel substrate with a micron-scale conductive layer. The device, being primarily made of sugar, attracts insects, which consume it almost completely. As an application, we demonstrate a tag that can be applied for remote pest monitoring. In the experiment, a long-range UHF RFID communication channel is established and monitored over time. An RFID-on-caramel tag consumed by insects loses its connection with a reader, indicating the presence of pests. We show the new caramel-based devices to communicate with a reader over a 10-meter distance, paving the way to remote crop monitoring. Such low-cost biodegradable sensors are highly promising for smart agriculture, warehouse management, and stock monitoring approaches.

A new flexible substrate UHF RFID tag on metal with a resonant ring and surface-etched slots that can be read at a long distance is proposed in this paper. The tag has a compact footprint of 50 mm $times50$ mm $times1.1$ mm ( $0.152,,lambda times 0.152,,lambda ,,times 0.003,,lambda $ at 915 MHz). It consists of two rectangular patches with a closed resonant ring and 4 surface etching slots, a narrow inductive stub, and a square ground. With the above structure which can make the tag adjusts both the resistance and reactance of the chip. The antenna has 7 adjustable parameters and can also be resonated at different frequencies. In the simulation, the proposed tag reaches a high power transmission coefficient (99.99%), which is an almost perfect conjugate matching, and the tag can reach a long reading distance of about 11 m on the metal containers. Finally, the tag is fabricated on the flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrates and tested. With an EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power) of 4 W, the tag can be read at a long range of 7.29 meters on metal planes and 3.71 meters on curved metal surfaces.

This paper outlines the components of a digital spectrum twin (DST) and potential application maps that can inform automated or enhanced spectrum management decisions. The DST is fundamentally a map and image database, with environmental, measurement, and prediction maps that allow parallel intelligence operations to generate useful information using aggregating rules that operate on the twin. We demonstrate several application maps generated from measured data collections and propagation modeling associated with the POWDER platform in Salt Lake City, Utah. In total, the methods of this paper provide a blueprint for generating similar DSTs in any other radio bands and regions of the world.

This paper describes an RFID system for head orientation tracking (R-SHOT), a novel wireless and battery-free approach for monitoring head kinematics. R-SHOT uses two linear polarized antennas mounted on a metal frame backpack, three commercial RFID tags placed orthogonally on the subject’s head, an RFID reader, software for data collection and processing, and an IMU for calibration. Training datasets were collected using stationary head positions with varying yaw, pitch, and roll, which were then used to develop a second-order multi-variate model to predict the Euler angles (R2 = 0.997 and standard error = 1–3°). Attempts to use a first-order model, reduce variables, and increase the number of static head positions for model training did not yield favorable results. Challenges in model development due to noise and asynchronous sampling were overcome using a Kalman filter and linear interpolation. The R-SHOT model developed using static head positions was found to predict Euler angles - when applied to full head motion - with low error, especially when the head position was closer to an extreme. The development of this model holds the keys to future real-time application of R-SHOT for patient care and mobility aid solutions.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a wirelessly powered RFID system enclosed inside closely sealed aluminum containers. The system enables power and data transfer to an RFID tag enclosed inside a closely sealed 1 mm thick aluminum container at a distance of up to 1 m from the reader. Utilizing custom-designed magnetic dipoles operating at 103 kHz, the system achieves a maximum harvested power of $408~mu text{W}$ AC and $96~mu text{W}$ DC. Also, bidirectional communication is demonstrated at a maximum data rate of 1.2 kbps. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a passive RFID system operating at a distance of 1 m, while its RFID tag is enclosed inside a closely sealed aluminum container, and without using batteries.

As a real-time representation of physical entities in the digital world, digital twin (DT) has been widely used in many industrial fields, which has brought remarkable efficiency improvement and cost reduction. With the evolution of 6G network, the requirements for ultra-low delay and intelligence are gradually improved, and digital twin edge network (DTEN) came into being. DTEN mainly collects real-time information of physical objects through edge nodes such as BSs and APs, and builds dynamic models on demand based on these information, which has the ability of description, diagnosis, prediction and decision-making. Aiming at the traffic management and resource allocation in DTEN, a QoE-driven wireless communication resource allocation method based on DTEN is proposed, and the overall architecture design of DTEN system is completed. By integrating DT and RL technologies, the DTEN system models can be self-improved and dynamically adjusted, and the data-driven resource allocation model can be updated efficiently. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm guarantees a high level of QoE for users. Compared with Q-Learning algorithm alone, the proposed algorithm can support more users’ access under the same congestion performance and reduce the iteration times of the algorithm by about 70%.

Temperature and humidity levels inside pharmaceutical packaging can significantly affect the shelf life of the enclosed medications. The RFID technology in the UHF band is promising to address this issue as it permits to wirelessly monitor the inner environment at the item level. This work presents the design and experimental characterization of a miniaturized battery-less RFID sensor, able to simultaneously measure temperature and humidity. The proposed sensor includes a helical antenna and is compatible with the insertion into a capsule, similar to common drugs. A first prototype of the miniaturized sensor was realized and tested in terms of both communication and sensing performance. Despite variable boundary conditions, a reading distance greater than 40 cm was demonstrated. A realistic readability analysis under uncontrolled conditions estimated a probability of 65% to read the sensor from more than 20 cm. Furthermore, the humidity sensor performance was extensively characterized in a climate chamber through several tests, resulting in an accuracy of ±5% in the RH range 40-80% that is compliant with the requirements of several pharma applications.

Despite variable boundary conditions, a reading distance greater than 40 cm was demonstrated. A realistic readability analysis under uncontrolled conditions estimated a probability of 65% to read the sensor from more than 20 cm. Furthermore, the humidity sensor performance was extensively characterized in a climate chamber through several tests, resulting in an accuracy of ±5% in the RH range 40-80% that is compliant with the requirements of several pharma applications.","PeriodicalId":73291,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of radio frequency identification","volume":"7 ","pages":"547-555"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67744198","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}

We present a fully integrated radio frequency identifications transponder chip operating at 5.8 GHz, which is compatible with the class-1 generation-2 of the Electronic Product Code protocol (EPC-C1 G2). The tag chip including the analog front-end and the digital baseband processor, are designed in the sub-threshold regime (0.5 V) with a total supply current of less than $50~mu text{A}$ . As a power scavenging unit, a single-stage differential-drive rectifier structure is designed and fabricated with standard threshold voltage (SVT) MOS elements in a commercial 65-nm CMOS process, to provide 0.8 V of rectified voltage. Measurements performed on the fabricated single-stage structure show a maximum power conversion efficiency of 69.6% for a 22 $text{k}Omega $ load and a sensitivity of −12.5 dBm, which corresponds to more than 1 m of reading range. The power conversion efficiency at this range is about 64%.
