“…Therefore, bursty low data rates are tolerated (in the region of 8-16 bytes of data), however the underlining fundamentals of the technology do allow for streaming dynamic data transfer at rates suitable for biological measurement, with examples including devices such as acceleration (60-200 Hz, 3 axis, 8-10 bit per axis) [20], Heart Rate data such as PPG [21], or ECG [22] in the range of 250 Hz at 8-10 bit resolution [23] (Figure 10.8). Typically, when looking at popular fitness devices within the consumer market, transmission of this data off the body is achieved using low power versions of Bluetooth [24], however UHF RFID has the capability to send this data reliably and at a much lower power consumption [25]. Normal read requests access the tag transponder EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory), which is a static memory type with a limited lifespan (100,000 read/write cycles) and moderate latency in performing functions (20-50 ms).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced mankind to unprecedented global challenges, drastically changing our way of living. To minimize life losses, multi-level strategies requiring collective efforts were adopted, while waiting for researchers and Pharma companies to develop vaccines. The management of so complex processes has partly taken benefit from a network vision and from the rising framework of the Internet of Things (IoT). Among the several technologies converging to IoT, the Radiofrequency Identification (RFID), based on backscattering communication, is probably the approach that is most suitable to both the micro (the user) and the macro (the processes) scale. Accordingly, a single infrastructure can support almost all the logistic and monitoring issues related to the war against a pandemic. Based on the earned COVID-19 experience, this paper is a guide about how state-of-the-art RFID systems can be employed in facing future pandemic outbreaks. The three pillars of the contrast are addressed, namely: 1) use and managing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), 2) access control and social distancing, and 3) early detection of symptoms. For each class, the envisaged RFID devices and procedures are identified and discussed based on the already available technology and on the state of the art of worldwide research. The presented guide tells us that this technology has a real potentiality to play a key role in generating an extraordinary amount of data, so that complementary paradigms of Edge Computing and Artificial intelligence should be tightly integrated to extract profiles and identify anomalous events, in compliance with privacy and security.

“…Any network with low power consumption and high e ciency will be an important issue. Therefore, in this article, we have designed a large network with low power consumption and superior performance to the sensor network with as little interference as possible [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Only after xing the position of the tags, the SBS will capture the information signal [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. ESPAR antennas could easily adopt with the massive WSN localization systems; it can also operate at the ISM frequency band of 2.4 GHz or other frequency bands [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

It is very important to have reliable information signal at the receiver of the UHF (ultra-high frequency) RFID (radio frequency identification) communication system. For this goal, an exact location of the RFID tag must be traced, and the definite direction from the RFID reader to the RFID tag must be stated at the particular boundaries to be communicated properly. In this paper, an advanced direction finding method based on the beam scanning (BS) is studied to receive the stronger information signal from a particular direction. Unlike the traditional systems i.e. peak searching (PS) and symmetrical constant (SC), the beam scanning method (BSM) in the ESPAR (electronically steerable parasitic array radiation) antenna provides efficient advantages to find out the direction, location of tags, and to receive the signals. Likewise, a selective beam switching (SBS) system by designing ESPAR antenna is proposed to minimize the interference. To be noted, the beam scanning method (BSM) is the prerequisite process of the selective beam switching (SBS) since there is an appropriate system configuration about the tag’s location, direction finding, and the optimum SNR (signal to noise ratio) by suppressing noise and interference. The work can be applied into the wireless ECG monitoring system by providing better advantages such as higher accuracy, longer range and the longer battery life span. The antenna nulling is very good to enhance SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio) performance of the system. Thus, it can be concluded that the proposed design is a reliable, robust, relatively long distance, and low power WSN (wireless senor network) communication system and IoT communication networks.
