  • Abstract
    A novel integration paradigm for RFID and WSN is proposed in this paper. With the paradigm, either sensors are embedded into a passive RFID tag or a passive tag itself is used as presence sensors or proximity sensor. The tag is hardwired to a sensor node of the wireless sensor network (WSN). The paradigm could significantly expand the coverage of a WSN with a given cost. The design details are described while the coverage gain is analyzed quantitatively. The correctness and efficiency of the paradigm have been demonstrated with a typical application.
