WINLAB Research: RollCall RFID - An active tag platform
The RollCall Project aims to build a cost effective asset tracking system by reducing power consumption, thus increasing battery life.
The design argues for the use of active tags for better monitoring of devices over longer distances, while operating them in a transmit only mode. Power lost in idle listening is conserved by eliminating the receiver entirely from the tags. More details on this project are available here.
