Integrating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for the first time, this comprehensive text explains the importance of their complementary nature, flexible combination, and ubiquitous computing. It covers the tags, readers, and middle ware associated with RFID.

RFID and Sensor Networks: Architectures, Protocols, Security, and Integrations is the authoritative reference on RFID and WSNs. Covering a broad range of topics that includes everything from the basics to insights into future directions, this cutting-edge book reviews architectures, protocols, standards, security, and applications. With sections devoted to each individual element, the text starts by covering the tags, readers, and middleware associated with RFID. Next, it provides insight into the routing, medium access control, and cross-layer optimization of WSNs. The third section focuses on the integration of RFID and WSN, addresses contemporary challenges, and illustrates concepts and applications with practical examples.
