Abstract: Ce système d'identification par radiofréquence comprend des transpondeurs émettant ou recevant des données mises en paquets sous une forme standard plutôt que selon un format personnalisé pour des applications pouvant être exécutées dans un dispositif mobile ou un réseau. Les données d'étiquette peuvent être mises en paquets dans un format standard quelconque choisi parmi une pluralité de formats. Chaque format comprend un couche identifiant le format du paquet. Selon un mode de réalisation, une étiquette contient un en-tête de protocole de datagramme de données standard (UDP) avec un total de contrôle et des données de charge utile. L'application ouvre un point de connexion pour écouter les connexions UDP. Le dispositif transmet un signal RF activant des étiquettes qui transmettent des paquets UDP à un lecteur d'identification par radiofréquence (RFID) dans le dispositif. Les paquets sont transférés à un empilage IP qui enlève l'en-tête UDP, et la validité du total de contrôle est vérifiée. Si la validité est confirmée, le dispositif transmet la charge utile à une application exécutée dans le dispositif ou dans le réseau; si ce n'est pas le cas, l'empilage IP notifie l'étiquette que la transmission a échoué et demande des retransmissions qui sont répétées jusqu'à ce qu'une transmission aboutisse.
