A Survey on Indoor Vehicle Localization Through RFID Technology

Smartphone-Based Cooperative Indoor Localization with RFID Technology

In GPS-denied indoor environments, localization and tracking of people can be achieved with a mobile device such as a smartphone by processing the received signal strength (RSS) of RF signals emitted from known location beacons (anchor nodes), combined with Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) estimates of the user motion. An enhacement of this localization technique is feasible if the users themsel...

A Survey on the Research of Indoor RFID Positioning System

The Applicability of RFID for Indoor Localization

Although RFID has a relatively long history of more than 50 years in the field of wireless communications, only the last decade it has received a considerable attention for becoming a useful general purpose technology. Actually, RFID was initially developed as an automatic identification system consisting of two basic component types, a reader and a tag (Want, 2006). The reader is able to read ...

Survey on NFC and RFID Technology

The radio frequency waves are used in communication between devices. The technologies which use the radio frequency as the medium of communication are Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC). Radio Frequency Identification technology employs a microchip called as smart tag with an antenna that broadcasts its unique 96-bit identifier and location to receivers. Ne...

Leveled indoor localization algorithms based on passive RFID

We propose three indoor localization algorithms, namely the leveled nearest-neighbor, leveled multilateration and leveled Bayesian inference, to locate stationary objects (books, merchandise) by affixing passive RFID tags to them. The algorithms use a number of passive tags deployed on the known coordinates as reference points. The simulation results show that the proposed leveled detectable co...
