HIP-based RFID Networking Architecture

This paper introduces a new model dedicated to the Internet of Thing that interacts with active RFIDs. Instead of targeting IP stacks implementation in tags, we plan to support the Host Identity Protocol, which dissociates IP address and host location and that has been recently defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). We propose an architecture, in which a PORTAL entity realizes the bridge between classical IP world (compatible with the EPCglobal infrastructure) and HIP domains, dealing with a constellation of readers and tags.
