A network reference model for B2C RFID applications

RFID has been adopted so far in business fields due to such problems as expensive tag price, privacy issue, no tiny reader, etc. But currently RIFD is being adopted in cell phones so that customer-purposes RFID applications can be provided in the B2C manner. How to establish the service infra is a challenging issue and only the case of KDDI is known to the public. It operates based on the service broker model. But this paper describes the E2E-based communication model. It figures out prospective network entities, network configurations, how to resolve the code resolution from an RFID code to a URI (uniform resource identifier), how to retrieve information contents such as music, video, game, etc. With this result, an alternative network reference model can be suggested to the market and Korea's mobile network operators are adopting this proposed architecture.
