EPC vs. IPv6 mapping mechanism

Abstract

This paper related to a method and apparatus for producing the IPv6 mapped EPC code, the electronic product code is used in the RFID (radio frequency identification) system to identify products. But the code is not accessible using Internet address because the EPC code is just an object identifier such as the bar code. This paper suggests the mechanism producing IPv6 mapped EPC address to communicate between objects. This paper is composed of the step to prepare the EPC code from the electronic tag and to assemble the network prefix address with EPC code.
