“…Various location estimation methods that use the RSSI have been proposed. For instance, there is a well-known method that computes distance using the RSSI and a channel propagation model that has been created in advance [5][6][7]. However, multipath fading and interference can cause the RSSI to fluctuate considerably.…”

An active radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that can communicate with smartphones using Bluetooth low energy technology has recently received widespread attention. We have studied a novel approach to finding lost objects using active RFID. We hypothesize that users can deduce the location of a lost object from information about surrounding objects in an environment where RFID tags are attached to all personal belongings. To help find lost objects from the proximity between RFID tags, the system calculates the proximity between pairs of RFID tags from the RSSI series and estimates the groups of objects in the neighborhood. We developed a method for calculating the proximity of the lost object to those around it using a distance function between RSSI series and estimating the group by hierarchical clustering. There is no method to evaluate whether a combination is suitable for application purposes directly. Presently, different combinations of distance functions and clustering algorithms yield different clustering results. Thus, we propose the number of nearest neighbor candidates (NNNC) as the criterion to evaluate the clustering results. The simulation results show that the NNNC is an appropriate evaluation criterion for our system because it is able to exhaustively evaluate the combination of distance functions and clustering algorithms.

“…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.…”

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.

“…In [43], an active RFID system is developed in order to establish an indoor/outdoor localization system for vehicle and pedestrian navigation. Active RFID tags are used also in [44], in order to design a 3D indoor localization algorithm and in [45] to improve the accuracy of active RFIDbased positioning systems. The passive RFID solution is adopted in [46] to design a hybrid method for tracking mobile objects with high accuracy and low computational costs.…”

This paper aims to provide the reader with a review of the main technologies explored in the literature to solve the indoor localization issue. Furthermore, some systems that use these enabling technologies in real-world scenarios are presented and discussed. This could deliver a better understanding of the state-of-the-art and motivate new research efforts in this promising field. Finally, focusing on one of the major challenges in the indoor localization field, i.e., the indoor animal tracking, existing indoor tracking systems have been reviewed and compared by analyzing advantages and drawbacks.
