Research of remote management of RFID reader based on TR069

With rapid development of Internet of Things, requirements for sensing layer of the Internet of Things have gradually been deep. RFID, which is one of the perception layer technology, has a long way to run. In this paper, a deep research on management of mobile RFID reader is done. The problem, which is de synchronization of data and configuration information with server, is found. WAN network management protocol based on TR069 is proposed, which can accomplish management schemes for mobile RFID reader, in which automatic configuration, software upgrades, state monitoring and fault diagnosis are included. With GPRS communication ability and interaction between mobile communication network remote configuration management server and mobile reader, a scheme which can do real-time configuration for RFID mobile reader is achieved, which improves the existing mobile reader terminal management mode.

1. Introduction

Nowadays, monitoring mode to the data and state information of RFID reader in RFID systems can be divided into two kinds: one is connecting with special network to complete data and configuration real-time synchronization, the other is recording first and then uploading to complete non-real-time synchronization [1]. However, the former does not apply to mobile environment while the latter has great shortcomings: it cannot monitor system in real time and achieve loss reporting of user card in a short time; when reader configuration information is modified maliciously or built-in software failure, the remote system cannot be aware of it and so on. With RFID system extensively used, such risks have become worthy of attention, so it is increasingly hurry that making the best use of existing resources to complete remote configuration updates, state monitoring, software upgrades and other needs for mobile RFID reader. CPE WAN Network Management Protocol(TR — 069) considered as a mature protocol, in management terminal aspect, has a perfect system, but it is mainly used in configuration and management to terminals as gateway [2], [3] and there is no mature research or application, which uses TR-069 to complete RFID mobile reader terminal remote management automatically.
