RFID VISUAL INDICATOR IN A PHYSICAL LAYER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

One embodiment is directed to an RFID tag assembly comprising an RFID integrated circuit. The RFID tag assembly is configured to couple a visual indicator to the RFID integrated circuit. The RFID integrated circuit is configured to power the visual indicator based on an RFID signal received via an antenna coupled to the RFID integrated circuit and to cause the visual indicator to provide a visual indication under the control of the RFID integrated circuit. The RFID tag assembly is configured so that the visual indicator provides a visual indication when the RFID integrated circuit is transmitting data. Other embodiments are disclosed.
