Near Field Communication (NFC): A Review on Application and Challenges
Abstract
A set of wireless communication protocols known as near-field communication (NFC) allows two electronic gadgets to communicate with one another at little more than 4 cm (1.57 in). NFC, with a simple configuration, provides a low-speed connection that can be utilized to establish stronger wireless networks. Like other "proximity card" technologies, NFC operates through inductive coupling between two "antennas" found on NFC-enabled devices, such as a printer and a smartphone. These antennas can communicate in both directions using the ISO/IEC 18000-3 air connect standard at rates of data that vary from 106 to 848 kbit/s at a frequency of 13.56 MHz in the unlicensed radio frequency ISM band, which is widely available. Existing radio-frequency identification (RFID) standards, such as ISO/IEC 14443 and FeliCa, serve as the foundation for NFC standards, which cover communications protocols and data exchange formats. The NFC Forum's definitions and ISO/IEC 18092 are among the standards. The GSMA group established a framework for the implementation of GSMA NFC Standards in mobile phones in addition to the NFC Forum. The GSMA has undertaken several projects, including Trusted Services Manager, Single Wire Protocol, testing/certification, and secure element. Applications for NFC-enabled portable devices can be downloaded, allowing them to do tasks like reading electronic tags and processing payments when linked to NFC-compliant systems.
