The data element with optional designation is not required and may or may not be included. Unique RF tag identifier (UID): Unique i

13、dentification of the RFID tag as defined in ISO/IEC 15963. Unique Item Identifier (UII): Equivalent to Unique Serial Identification (USI) as used in this and other BCSC documents. Unique Serial Identification (USI): Unique serial identification consists of two segments, the manufacturer identificati

14、on segment and the serial number segment. The combination of these two segments ensures uniqueness within a company. To make the USI globally unique, the manufacturer identification segment includes an Issuing Agency Code (IAC - per ISO/IEC 15459-2) with the IAC-assigned code for the manufacturer/su

15、pplier/company. This is the standard approach as specified in ISO/IEC 15459-4 and ANS MH10.8.7 standards. ISO/IEC 15459 refers to the unique serial identification for an item as the Unique Item Identifier (UII). 10 2 Issues related to the use of RFID 2.1 Frequency Issues The frequencies specified in

16、 this guideline have not been tested in a telecommunications environment. The frequency requirements are based on international standards. This guideline recommends that companies planning to implement these requirements initiate rigorous testing in a central office and other telecommunications envi

17、ronment to ensure compatibility and minimize or eliminate interference with existing equipment. Use of RFID at UHF (860-960MHz) could have negative impact on the functionality of both RFID components and telecommunication equipment when used in areas where GSM/UMTS operates at 880-960MHz, if not tes

18、ted thoroughly. Other frequencies specified in the international standards may also affect the functionality of both RFID components and telecommunication equipment. Any RFID frequency plan for usage should be thoroughly tested in a telecommunications environment. 2.2 Tag Format Issues This guidelin

19、e recommends tag formatting per the appropriate section of the ISO/IEC 18000-n standard for the frequency of the tag being used. In the Protocol Control (PC) bits, bit 17HEX shall be set to 1 for ISO tags. If EPC tags are required and permitted by trading partner agreement, the rules for EPC will ap

20、ply, as specified EPCglobal Tag Data Standard. 2.3 Tag Size This document does not specify a particular tag size. The optimum tag size depends on available tags and user applications. Therefore, users should consider the minimum needed content depending on the task and applications. 3 Tag Layout Fig

21、ure 3-1 provides the logical memory map for an RFID tag (per ISO/IEC 18000). 11 Figure 3-1 Memory Map 3.1 Tag memory banks Tag memory shall be logically separated into four distinct banks, each of which may comprise one or more memory words. The memory banks are defined in the subsections that follo

22、w. 3.1.1 Reserved memory Reserved memory shall contain the kill and access passwords. See ISO 17366 for additional information. 3.1.2 UII memory UII memory shall contain a CRC-16 (Cyclic Redundancy Check1) at memory addresses 00HEX to 0FHEX, (which is calculated/verified within the RFID hardware tha

23、t writes/reads the tag), Protocol-Control (PC) bits at memory addresses 10HEX to 1FHEX, and a code, i.e., a UII, that identifies the object to which the tag is or will be attached beginning at address 20HEX. The specific detail for encoding the UII is provided in sections 4.2, 5.2, 6.2 and 7.2 for e

24、ach tag type. The PC is subdivided into an UII length field in memory locations 10HEX to 14HEX, RFU bits in memory locations 15HEX to 16HEX, an ISO/EPC bit in memory location 17HEX, and a Numbering System Identifier (NSI) in memory locations 18HEX to 1FHEX. The CRC-16, PC, and UII shall be stored Mo

25、st Significant Bit (MSB) first (the UIIs MSB is stored in location 20HEX). Table 3.1-1: Protocol Control Bits Protocol Control Bits run from 10HEX 1FHEX 0/1 0/1 0/1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F Length indicator User Mem XPC EPC / ISO Application Family Identifier (AFI) / Numbering

26、 System Identifier (NSI) Bits 10HEX 14HEX: The length of the (PC + UII) that a Tag backscatters, in words: 000002: One word (addresses 10HEX to 1FHEX in UII memory). 000012: Two words (addresses 10HEX to 2FHEX in UII memory). 000102: Three words (addresses 10HEX to 3FHEX in UII memory). 111112: 32 w

27、ords (addresses 10HEX to 20FHEX in UII memory). Bit 15HEX: Indicates that User Memory (Bank 11) is used (value = 1) or not used (value = 0). Bit 16HEX: Shall be set to “0” if there are no extension of the PC bits and shall be set to “1” if the PC bits are extended by an additional 16 bits. NOTE: If

28、a Tag implements XPC bits then PC Bit 16HEX SHALL be the logical OR of the XPC bits contents. The Tag computes this logical OR, and maps the result into PC bit 16HEX, at power up. Readers can select on this bit, and Tags will backscatter it. _ 1 A method for detecting errors in the received data by

29、grouping the bytes of data into a block and calculating the CRC. This is usually done by the data link protocol and the calculated CRC is appended to the end of the data link layer frame. Although the calculation may be done by software, it is usually performed by hardware which is much simpler than

30、 the software approach. The RFID tag will have this inherent capability. 12 NOTE: The XPC will be logically located at word 32 of UII memory. If a reader wants to select on the XPC bits, then it issues a Select command targeting this memory location. Bit 17HEX: For encoding a tag in ISO/IEC 15961 fo

31、rmat using AFI in Bits 18HEX 1FHEX, this bit shall be set to “1”. This shall be the preferred method for the telecommunication industry. If the user needs to encode an EPC tag, this bit is set to “0”. Bits 18HEX 1FHEX: A numbering system identifier (NSI) whose default value is 000000002 and which ma

32、y include an AFI (Application Family Identifier) as defined in ISO/IEC 15961 (when encoding the tag pursuant to ISO standards). The MSB of the NSI is stored in memory location 18h. When Bit 17HEX is set to “1”, using an AFI, then the following shall apply for product/package, shipments and returnabl

33、e transport items: The AFI is followed by the application subfamily (ASF) per Annex B, ISO/IEC 15961:2004 (E). 13 Table 3.1-2: Numbering System Identifier Description Decimal AFI Decimal ASF Hex Binary Product/package 10 1 A1 10100001 Transport units (shipments) 10 2 A2 10100010 Returnable Transport

47、on 2 for frequency issues related to RFID tags on products. Studies in process during the development of this guideline indicate that RFID on telecommunications products is one of the automatic data capture technologies that may provide significant value, especially for maintenance and repair of the

48、se products. Other technologies, i.e. Management Information Base (MIB) and product identity markings, can be used for identification of telecommunications equipment that is installed and operating. Although implementation of RFID product tagging may not be implemented across the industry for many years, this section provides guidelines for the specification of the tag content in a standard, industry accepted format for those manufacturers, suppliers and service providers, including repair and maintenance providers, that find the use of RFID beneficial in their operations and in the
