Agenda Introduction RFID Technology Features of IPv6 IEEE 802.11b Standard Proposed System Objective Milestones Conclusion Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Introduction The ‘smart city’ is the ability to access any application at anytime from anywhere Smart Cities should implement e-health e-government e-commerce systems Cities become “Smarter” with Object Identification Network of things High speed Wireless Network Monitoring by Sensors Cities become “Green” with Low power consumption Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

RFID Technology Object Recognition/ tracking system RFID system consists transponder (i.e., the tag itself) transceiver (i.e., the reader) To track any object it uses an EPC An EPC is either 64-bit or 96-bit identifier Header-2 bits EPC Manager- 21 bits Object Class- 17 bits Serial Number-24 bits H EPC Manager Object Class Serial Number Figure 1: EPC 64 bit Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Figure 2: IPv6 Address format Features of IPv6 Bring the idea “Network of things” Ease of Deployment Global Mobility Multicast/Anycast Security Scalability 128 bit address structure(16 octets) Subnet Prefix / Network Prefix Interface ID- EUI 64 bit IPv6 128 bits Interface ID Subnet Prefix 64 bits Figure 2: IPv6 Address format Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

High speed Wireless Networks or Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b Standard High speed Wireless Networks or Wi-Fi Extension of IEEE 802.11standard to IEEE802.11b standard Applies to wireless LANs Provides 11Mbps to 55Mbps Data transmission rate 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

RFID experiencing problem Proposed System RFID experiencing problem Vendor Specific High implementation cost Local mobility The proposed System will Use WNIC instead of Reader Use IPv6 in RFID system Use IEEE 802.11 standards, perhaps better known as WiFi Protocol A low power transponder IC Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Objective To design a high speed, efficient and low power tag IC using mapped EPC-IPv6 address for the future green city To employ IEEE 802.11 standard for WLAN instead of proprietary standard of RFID Reader for a smarter city To develop a Computer Application to extract data from the tag Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Milestones Map EPC-64 bit with IPv6 Address EPC-IPv6 tag Integrated Circuit design EPC-IPv6 Tag Communication with WNIC EPC Receiving Technique Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Phase 1: Map EPC 64bit with IPv6 Address Total 64 bits of EPC directly mapped into IPv6 address structure Each RFID tag becomes addressable in the IPv6 network EPC – 64 bits IPv6 128 bits Interface ID Subnet Prefix 64 bits Figure 3: IPv6 Address format after mapping with EPC Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Phase 2: EPC –IPv6 tag Integrated Circuit EEPROM EPC- IPv6 Address RF Front End Rectifier Demodulator Modulator Low Power Digital Logic Antenna VCC Figure 4: Block diagram of the proposed EPC-IPv6 Tag Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Phase 3: EPC –IPv6 tag Communication with WNIC WiFi Network RFID Tag with Mapped EPC-IPv6 Wireless Network Interface card Figure 5: EPC-IPv6 Tag communicate with WNIC through WiFi Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Phase 4: EPC Receiving Technique A computer Application will extract the EPC portion from the mapped EPC-IPv6 address structure EPC – 64 bits EPC-64 bits Subnet Prefix 64 bits IPv6 128 bits Extract EPC-64 bits Figure 5: IPv6 Address format after EPC Extraction Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010

Conclusion By Using the Proposed System A low power tag IC will be developed to make the city “Green” The cost of efficient RFID tagging system for future smart city will be reduced Possible to find out the physical location of any objects, which is one of the prime element of smart city Provide Global Mobility Increased Scalability, Reliability, and Security for the future “Green” city Shanghai, China, 14 May 2010
