Research Of Distributed RFID Infrastructure Management Technology

There are varieties of RFID infrastructures in enterprise RFID applications. And the network which they are connected to is versatile. The topologies of the RFID network become very complex, which makes it hard to manage these infrastructures. RFID middleware is a bridge between RFID hardware and enterprise application system. Its functions normally consist of encapsulating the applications from device interfaces, processing the raw observations captured by the readers and sensors and providing an application-level interface for managing readers and querying RFID observations. The management of the RFID infrastructure is the core of the whole system,and it goes through the whole architecture of the middleware. This paper focuses on the RFID infrastructure management technology solution and the RFID middleware architecture based on the RFID infrastructure management bus.This paper puts forward a distributed RFID infrastructure management solution which combines layered management with collaboration management. We solve the problems of complicity through dividing and conquer method. We give four layers management architecture for the management of RFID devices, mobile RFID devices, RFID business process module and RFID middleware. Through the management bus, we unified the dispersed RFID infrastructures and middleware components, and designed and implemented a new RFID middleware architecture which embodies a...
