“…The mean distance error of ANTspin under the 3D plane scenario is 3.79 cm in X-axis, 8.37 cm in Y-axis, 6.70 cm in Z-axis, and 13.00 cm in combined dimension; 90% of the errors are less than 20 cm, with a minimal error of 2.37 cm and maximal error of 31.9 cm. We tested some existing schemes in a similar experimental environment and the experimental results show that ANTspin performed better than APM (30 cm), APAA (45 cm), RW (16 cm), WPM (32 cm), and RWD (22 cm) [13,15].

“…The other is Adaptive Power with Antenna Array (APAA), a single RFID reader that is equipped with horizontal and vertical smart antennas, with the localization error of 0.48 m³. Jullawadee Maneesilp et al [14] avoid the need of distance estimation according to received wireless signal strength or phase difference and achieve the localization error of 0.07 ft. Duan et al [30] put forward an advanced method, called Tagspin, to locate the RFID reader using COTS tags, and the average accuracy is about 7.3 cm; Elma Zanaj et al [15] focus on RFID tags localization by only using mobile readers without the inclusion of static readers, which can avoid the pre-deploying of static readers. Ferdews Tlili et al [31] propose an approach that is based on MDS for 3D localization using active RFID tags in indoor environments.…”

“…However, there is still no universally recognized stable high-precision indoor positioning system in the current research process due to some problems in these localization systems. We summarize some of the disadvantages of current localization scheme, as follows [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. First, most of them collect data from a number of static antennas in fixed positions, which results in the high deployment cost in antennas.…”

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has been widely applied in outdoor positioning, but it cannot meet the accuracy requirements of indoor positioning. Comprising an important part of the Internet of Things perception layer, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) plays an important role in indoor positioning. We propose a novel localization scheme aiming at the defects of existing RFID localization technology in localization accuracy and deployment cost, called ANTspin: Efficient Absolute Localization Method of RFID Tags via Spinning Antenna, which introduces a rotary table in the experiment. The reader antenna is fixed on the rotary table to continuously collect dynamic data. When compared with static acquisition, there is more information for localization. After that, the relative incident angle and distance between tags and the antenna can be analyzed for localization with characteristics of Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) data. We implement ANTspin using COTS RFID devices and the experimental results show that it achieves a mean accuracy of 9.34 cm in 2D and mean accuracy of 13.01 cm in three-dimensions (3D) with high efficiency and low deployment cost.

“…Currently, mobile and battery-powered RFID readers, such as hand readers and smart phones, are increasingly being used [ 11 , 12 ]. Most popular applications focus on RFID-based indoor localization and identification systems with mobile readers [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Therefore, it is desired to expand the reader’s battery life by using an energy-aware tag anti-collision protocol.…”

The growing interest in mobile devices is transforming wireless identification technologies. Mobile and battery-powered Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) readers, such as hand readers and smart phones, are are becoming increasingly attractive. These RFID readers require energy-efficient anti-collision protocols to minimize the tag collisions and to expand the reader’s battery life. Furthermore, there is an increasing interest in RFID sensor networks with a growing number of RFID sensor tags. Thus, RFID application developers must be mindful of tag anti-collision protocols. Energy-efficient protocols involve a low reader energy consumption per tag. This work presents a thorough study of the reader energy consumption per tag and analyzes the main factor that affects this metric: the frame size update strategy. Using the conclusion of this analysis, the anti-collision protocol Energy-Aware Slotted Aloha (EASA) is presented to decrease the energy consumption per tag. The frame size update strategy of EASA is configured to minimize the energy consumption per tag. As a result, EASA presents an energy-aware frame. The performance of the proposed protocol is evaluated and compared with several state of the art Aloha-based anti-collision protocols based on the current RFID standard. Simulation results show that EASA, with an average of 15 mJ consumed per tag identified, achieves a 6% average improvement in the energy consumption per tag in relation to the strategies of the comparison.
