August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 13 3.2 Block Diagrams 3.2.1 Top Level A block diagram of the PCBA common to all products is shown below. Figure 2: Hx000 Functional Block Diagram Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 14 August 2018 Revision 0.4 3.2.2 RF Subsystem The R2000 subsystem (aka RF Circuitry) is defined as the ARM M4 (aka Microcontroller), R2000/RFID transceiver (aka Indy Reader Chip), power amplifier, directional coupler, 4-port antenna switch and associated matching components. The Sensors uses an internal dual linear antenna that only requires two of the four ports. The H1000 brings out all four of the antenna ports to external R-SMA connectors allowing the System Integrator to use antennas that are not collocated with the H1000reader. Below is a block diagram of the R2000 Sub-System. 3.2.3 R2000 ASIC For reference, a block diagram of the Impinj R2000 ASIC internal components is shown below. Figure 3: R2000 ASIC Block Diagram August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 15 4.0 System Description The RRS-Hx Sensor is just one component of the larger Intel Responsive Retail Platform (RRP) shown in Figure 3.1 below. The system is comprised of one or more Retail Sensors and a RRP appliance for control and orchestration. Customers may integrate their own cloud infrastructure component for data storage and analytics. Figure 4: RRS Functional Block Diagram The power of the RRP is in the networked communication and coordination that exists between the RRSs themselves and between the RRS and the RRP device. Whether a system deployment has 5 or 500 Retail Sensor Platforms, this communication and coordination greatly simplifies initial configuration as well as the operational management. 4.1 Data Flow From a data flow perspective, RFID reader interrogates the tag population within its field of view and passes information regarding the tags as well as information from other various on-board sensors to the RRP appliance. The RRP appliance does more than just aggregate the data from the sensor population, it also orchestrates the behavior of each sensor to optimize the overall in-store data collection process. Inventory Events, Alerts and System Status can be forwarded from the RRP device to applications running in the customers cloud infrastructure. Figure 9 illustrates the flow of data and control within the RRS. Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 16 August 2018 Revision 0.4 Figure 5: System Data Flow 4.2 Customer Cloud Applications Customers may utilize their own cloud infrastructure to process the data. RRP will provide a set of REST interfaces for customer applications to obtain the data necessary to determine item identification, location, movement and status. 4.3 Responsive Retail Platform (RRP) The Responsive Retail Platform (RRP) performs sensor control, sensor management, sensor data aggregation, data processing, event generation and event management. It supports configuration and management from a local interface. 4.4 RFID Readers The RRS-Sensor devices provide the ability to remote command, control, status, and data collection via Ethernet. Data from RFID tag reads as well as data from other on-
board sensors is published to an MQTT broker. The data API is based on JSON RPC commands, responses and indications. JSON-RPC is a text based, stateless, lightweight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 17 4.5 RRP Device to Sensor Protocol The RRS Sensor provides a remote capability for command, control, status and data collection via JSON Remote Procedure Call (RPC) over MQTT. The Retail Gateway Command set follows the JSON RPC 2.0 specification. JSON-RPC is a stateless, lightweight protocol that is transport agnostic. 4.5.1 Request Object The Request object has the following members:
jsonrpc o A String specifying the version of the JSON-RPC protocol. method o A String containing the name of the method to be invoked. params o A Structured value that holds the parameter values to be used duringthe invocation of the method. o This member may be omitted. id o An identifier containing a String or Number value (if included). o This member is used to correlate the context between the two objects. 4.5.2 Notification Object A Notification is a Request object without an "id" member. A Request object that is a Notification signifies that a corresponding Response object is not expected. Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 18 August 2018 Revision 0.4 4.5.3 Response Object The Response is expressed as a single JSON Object, with the following members:
jsonrpc o A String specifying the version of the JSON-RPC protocol. result o The presence of this member indicates successful execution of the corresponding method. o This member is not present when the execution of the method resulted in an error. error o The presence of this member indicates unsuccessful execution of the corresponding method. o This member is not present when the execution of the method was successful. o When present, the error Object contains the following members:
code o An integer that indicates the error type that occurred. message o A String providing a short description of the error. data o A Primitive or Structured value that contains additional formation about the error (optional). o See table below for supported error codes. id o This member is always present on a response and contains the same value as the id member in the corresponding Request Object. o This member is not present on indications. 4.5.4 Error Codes The RFID Sensor Platform provides one of the following error codes when an error occurs.

TODO Add screenshots here) August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 25 8.0 Theory of Operation The power of RRS is in the networked communication and coordination that exists between the Sensor Platforms themselves and between the RFID Gateway. Whether a particular RFID system deployment has 5 or 500 RRS devices, this communication and coordination greatly simplifies initial configuration as well as the operational management. This section defines the set of messages used between the RFID Retail Sensor Platform and the RFID Gateway that facilitates this orchestration. Some of these messages affect the RF power output and modulation scheme being transmitted. The Impinj R2000 RF subsystem buffers all commands received from the RFID Gateway via the Host Processor. NOTE: Any command that attempts to set a parameter to a value that is outside its valid range or would otherwise cause the RRS-
Sensors to no longer be compliant with its certification will return an error code and the previous command settings will persist. Several Use Cases have been defined that illustrate initial discovery, configuration and tag population management. Detailed message definitions can be found in the Retail Sensor Platform API. Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 26 August 2018 Revision 0.4 8.1 RFID Gateway Discovery A goal of the RFID Sensor Platform is to be as much of a zero-conf" installation as possible. Once power is applied, the RRS Sensor autonomously acquires a network address via DHCP and discover the RRS Gateway. The RRS Sensor also supports encryption via a TLS connection to the MQTT broker. An optional provisioning tag containing a hash and token can be used for the RRS Sensor to authenticate the Cloud and the RRS Gateway to authenticate the sensor as it connects. Figure 9 illustrates the message exchange involved in this use case.

Segregation allows the RRS-Sensors to more accurately inventory a tag population by avoiding collisions. This same functionality can also be used to isolate a single tag that might be located in a challenging RF environment or perhaps physically oriented in a less than optimal fashion. A challenge in managing larger tag populations is dealing with tag collisions" during the query-response (more than one tag responding at exactly the same time). The RRS-
Sensors offers an adaptive algorithm (Dynamic-Q) function to mitigate tag collisions. An adaptive Q algorithm increases the reading efficiency significantly thereby reducing the time it takes to completely inventory a large tag population. The RRS-Sensors allows the RFID Gateway to optimally configure the Q Algorithm based on a known tag population. Dynamic-Q is used by default, which relieves the Gateway from having to explicitly set the Q-value.

This mode will allow multiple reads per tag for a moderate update of tag status to alert the RFID system should a tagged item be moved. No tag filtering is specified. The figure below illustrates the message exchange involved in this use case.

Figure 4 illustrates the message exchange involved in this use case. Figure 12 High Mobility Data Flow August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 33 8.3.4 Deep Scan (Single Target) This Use-Case illustrates a thorough Deep Scan" using the most robust RF link to insure that all tags within the coverage area are successfully read at least once. This mode also uses suppression to allow weaker tags to respond without competing with the multiple responses of other tags and is recommended only in situations where multiple reads per tag is not required. Sessions 2 and 3 are used to provide longer suppression times while scanning. Alternating between sessions 2 and 3 (and between A and B) allows for a rapid recovery when rescanning the tag population. This use-case insures that even the most distant tags with the weakest backscatter signal can be eventually read. Figure 6 illustrates the message exchange involved in this use case. Figure 13 Deep Scan Data Flow Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 34 August 2018 Revision 0.4 8.3.5 Searching for a Single Tag or Group of Tags There are two ways to search for an individual tag or group of tags using The RRS-
Sensors. The select" function configures the RRS-Sensors with set of tag filter criteria and instructs those tags that match that filter criteria to modify a certain register flag, forcing it to a known value prior to singulation. The tag protocol operation (i.e. read, write, kill) is applied only to those tags that meet the filter criteria. When tag populations are relatively large (> 1000) or when it is critical to apply a tag protocol operation to only a single tag, this method of filtering is preferred. A good example of an applied use of the "select"
function would be at the point-of-sale (POS) where tags could be deactivated (killed) prior to exiting a controlled area. The "post-match" function configures The RRS-Sensors with set of tag filter criteria that is applied "post" singulation or after a particular tag protocol operation is performed. Even though the tag still has to compete in the RF environment of the singulation process, the only data sent to the RFID Gateway is from those tags that match the filter criteria defined in the "post match" function. Post Match" filtering is a single step process, tag memory is not modified and all tags respond to the inventory request. When tag populations are relatively small (< 1000), this method of filtering on certain tags is more efficient. A good example of an applied use of the "post match" function would be when searching a larger tag population with a hand scanner for a particular tag or group of tags.

Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 38 August 2018 Revision 0.4 9.3 Cabling Infrastructure Poorly or incorrectly installed network cabling can cause numerous problems in the RRS-
Sensors network. However small it may appear, a problem with network cabling can have a catastrophic effect on the operation of the network. Even a small kink in a cable can cause an RRS to have intermittent connection with the RFID Gateway, and a poorly crimped connector may compromise Power over Ethernet (POE) functionality. If there is existing cabling in an installation, it should be tested first using a Fluke Networks LSPRNTR-100 or equivalent device to insure proper RJ-45 connector pin out and Power over Ethernet (POE) capability before using with to power an RRS. 9.3.1 Correct Wiring Standards There are two wiring standards for network cabling: T568a and T568b. DO NOT COMBINE T568a and T568b on the same cable!
Figure 16 T-568A vs. T-568B RJ-45 connectors are designed for either stranded or solid cable, but usually not both. Ensure use of the correct crimping tool for the specific type of connector. Ethernet cables have four pairs of color-coded twisted wires (orange, green, blue and brown). These cables are designed for high-speed data transfer with very little cross talk. It is important that no more than about 6 mm of the cable is untwisted at either end. August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 39 9.3.2 Proper Cable Type For in-store RRS installations, it is recommended to use high-quality CAT 5e or CAT 6 cabling. Cables are categorized according to the data rates that they can transmit effectively. The specifications also describe the material, the connectors and the number of times each pair is twisted per meter. The most widely installed category is CAT 5e. Ensure that the category (CAT) of cabling used in the RFID system installation fulfills the required data rates. Cat 3 (no longer used) up to 16 MHz Cat 5e up to 100 MHz Cat 6 up to 250 MHz Cat 6A up to 500 MHz Cat 7 up to 600 MHZ Cat 7A up to 1 GHz Video and image files are generally much larger than JSON text files and need to be moved around the network as quickly as possible. In general, it is possible to use good-
quality CAT 5 cabling for gigabit networks. However, it is generally recommended to use CAT 5e or CAT 6 cabling for gigabit connectivity, even if the existing network switches and routers support only 100 Mbps. This will ensure that the infrastructure in place can support gigabit data rates when an upgrade becomes necessary. 9.3.3 Proper Cable Length Ensure that your cabling meets the requirements of your equipment. The distance between an RRS and the switch cannot be greater than 100 m. If installing sockets, remember to consider the distance between the socket and the RRS. A good rule of thumb is 90 meters for horizontal runs, and ten meters for the patch cabling. Do NOT run cabling next to electrical cabling due to the potential for interference. Since network cabling typically uses solid wire, cabling should not be twisted or bent into a tight radius (not less than 4 times the diameter of the cable). Do not use metal staples to secure cable runs, nor tightly adjusted cable wraps. Avoid a daisy chain network topology using intermediate switches or butt connectors to extend the length of an otherwise "too short" cable run. Use a single continuous cable run from the RRS to the switch. Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 40 August 2018 Revision 0.4 9.3.4 Environmental Conditions The RRS-Hx Series Sensor is designed to operate at 100% transmit duty-cycle in ambient temperature conditions of up to 50 C provided there is airflow across the back plate of the device. The RRS can also operate at 100% transmit duty-cycle in ambient temperature conditions of up to 35 C when mounted with the back-plate flush against a horizontal surface. The RRS-Sensor can operate at higher ambient temperature conditions by autonomously controlling the transmit duty-cycle. However, once the internal microprocessor reaches a temperature of 104 C, the RRS software will shut down to prevent damage and memory corruption. 9.3.5 Power over Ethernet Power over Ethernet (POE) is a mechanism for supplying power to network devices over the same cabling used to carry network traffic. POE allows the RRS to receive both power and data over a single cable. This feature simplifies network installation and maintenance by using an Ethernet switch with integrated POE as a central power source for all RRSs. The challenge during installation is to calculate the total power consumption required making sure it is less than the power budget of the Ethernet switch. The Juniper EX2200-24P-4G is a recommended switch for RRS networks due to its remote manageability and sufficient 400W power budget to provide POE for an RRS on each of the 24 ports. However, any 48V POE+ switch is sufficient. August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 41 9.3.6 Cabling, Mounting and Antenna Consideration for the H1000 models 9.3.6.1 Antenna Cabling Infrastructure Poorly or incorrectly installed RFID Antenna cabling can cause problems with the RRS-
H1000. Even a small kink in the cable can cause an impedance mismatch resulting in poor tag read performance. Always be sure to follow the instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer. 9.3.6.2 Recommended Antennas This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 6 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 6 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Ce dispositif a t dsign pour fonctionner avec les antennes numres ci-dessous, et ayant un gain maximum de 6 dB. Les antennes non incluses dans cette liste ou ayant un gain plus grand que 6 dB sont strictement interdites pour l'utilisation avec cet appareil. L'antenne requise impdance est 50 ohms. 9.3.6.2.1 Ceiling or Wall Mount For ceiling or wall mount installations, the Laird RFID Panel Antenna S8655P (ETSI) or S9025P (FCC) is recommended. These antennas have a circularly polarized pattern and provide 5.5 dBi gain. Figure 17 Circular Polarized Panel Antenna Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 42 August 2018 Revision 0.4 9.3.6.2.2 Tabletop Point-of-Sale (POS) For Point-of-Sale (POS) installations, the Times-7 RFID Near-Field Antenna A1030 is recommended. The A1030 antenna offers outstanding near field performance in a unique and optimized footprint, improving workflow and eliminating stray tag reads. These antennas have a circularly polarized pattern and have -15.0 dBi gain. Figure 18 Near Field POS Antenna 9.3.6.3 Proper RF Cable Type The type and length of coax cable can greatly affect the tag read performance of the installation. RF performance (aka read range) is determined by a combination of transmit power, receive sensitivity, cable losses, antenna gain and tag type. For a given RFID reader and tag, the variables to consider during installation are cable losses and antenna gain. The longer the cable, the greater the loss. If longer coax cable runs are required, a larger diameter, lower loss cable type should be used to mitigate the losses due to the increased length. Table 4 Cable Loss Chart is provided for common coax cables used for RFID installations Length (ft) 5 10 25 LMR-195 0.6 dB 1.1 dB 2.8 dB LMR-240 0.4 dB 0.8 dB 1.9 dB LMR-400 0.2 dB 0.4 dB 1.0 dB LMR-600 0.1 dB 0.3 dB 0.6 dB August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 43 9.3.6.4 Power Output Calculations One of the parameters in the apply_behavior command from the RFID Gateway is the output power level. This level can be adjusted from 0 to 27.03 dBm. To ensure compliance with the maximum EIRP restrictions defined in the certification grant, these commands must be scripted by an authorized installer or system integrator. The maximum power level is a function of the antenna gain and the cable/connector losses as shown in the equation below.

A common mounting technique is to utilize existing track-light rails. Figure 13 shows how the RRS can blend in with the actual lights mounted to the same rail. Figure 21 RRS-H4000 Stealth August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 47 9.5.1 Track Light Mounting Bracket Encinitas Labs provides a mounting bracket that allows the SENSOR to be mounted from a track light rail. (see Figure 14) Figure 22 H4000/H3000 Track Light Mount Assembly Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 48 August 2018 Revision 0.4 9.5.2 Wall Mounting Bracket Encinitas Labs provides a mounting bracket that allows the sensor to be mounted to a flat surface (see Figure 15). Figure 23 H4000/H3000 Wall Mount Assembly August 2018 Revision 0.4 Intel Responsive Retail Sensor (RRS) Hx Series Sensor User & Installation Guide Page: 49 9.6 Mounting (H1000) In a typical RRS-H1000 installation, the sensor can be mounted vertically in the case of portal over a doorway or horizontally under a table in the case of point-of-sale. The RRS-H1000 is mounted using the plate provided (see Figure 24) Figure 24 H1000 Mounting Plate If at all practical or possible, the RRS-H1000 should be mounted onto a vertical surface for the best possible convection cooling. The device should not be mounted in a way that blocks air flow between the unit and the mounting plate and the device should be mounted in a way to allow free air flow for passive cooling.
