Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been popular in industrial and academic field due to their ability in identity identification and data transmission respectively. Both RFID and Wireless Sensor Networks have undergone huge development separately. In this paper, it has been discussed how helpful and effective it will be when RFID and WSN have been combined together. It also discusses about some applications of this integrated technology in the field of precious animal and patient health monitoring where real time information is of utmost importance. A system structure of the integrated RFID and WSN has been introduced and the simulation results show that the new system outperforms traditional RFID monitory system in terms of the cost of deployment, updating delayand tag capacity requirement.
