Power optimized reading procedure for RFID (EPC Gen 2) data transmission enabled application: Example of a wireless temperature sensor

The goal of this paper is to present a scenario that optimizes a passive RFID data transmission without changing its standard. This procedure is based on the inventory process defined by the EPC Gen 2 protocol. An application of this procedure will be presented through a wireless temperature sensor concept and an ASIC implementation.
