RSSI parameter, while useful for detecting changes in signal attenuation, cannot yet be directly correlated to the kinetics or extent of corrosion. Despite these limitations, the study demonstrates the robustness of RFID-based sensing for corrosion monitoring under realistic environmental exposure. Future developments will aim to improve the interpretability of the RSSI response, establishing quantitative relationships between signal variation and corrosion

parameters. References
