Abstract
For global tracing of RFID tagged object, the Discovery Service (DS) is one of the core services of EPCglobal Network Architecture. A DS provides a means to locate all the list of EPCIS addresses that an EPC object has visited before. The EPCglobal has not yet specified the standard for the DS. So this paper proposes an object based distribution of a DS for standard. An Object Based Discovery Service (OBDS) is composed of several unit-DSs and a UDLS. A unit-DS is in charge of some objects and a UDLS enables to discover the right unit-DS among distributed unit-DSs for global tracing of an object. We analyze the performance of several approaches and ODBS.
