A Survey on NFC Technology for Home Automation

Abstract

Near field communication (NFC) is a technology that enables smartphones and other devices to establish radio communication  with  each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, typically a distance of 10 cm (3.9 in) or less.The smartphones containing NFC chips are gaining popularity owing to the increasing applications of NFC. NFC tags can be read by NFC devices and can perform subsequent actions such as transmitting data. In this survey firstly a brief introduction is presented about the NFC based systems. In addition, a literature survey is presented. We attempt to increase the awareness about this topic and hope for effective solutions coming up on the same.
