Abstract
Addressing the challenges of passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) indoor localization technology in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) and multipath environments, this paper presents an innovative approach by introducing a combined technology integrating an improved Kalman Filter with Space Domain Phase Difference of Arrival (SD-PDOA) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). This methodology utilizes the distinct channel characteristics in multipath and NLoS contexts to effectively filter out interference and accurately extract localization information, thereby facilitating high precision and stability in passive RFID localization. The efficacy of this approach is demonstrated through detailed simulations and empirical tests conducted on a custom-built experimental platform consisting of passive RFID tags and an R420 reader. The findings are significant: in NLoS conditions, the four-antenna localization system achieved a notable localization accuracy of 0.25 m at a distance of 5 m. In complex multipath environments, this system achieved a localization accuracy of approximately 0.5 m at a distance of 5 m. When compared to conventional passive localization methods, our proposed solution exhibits a substantial improvement in indoor localization accuracy under NLoS and multipath conditions. This research provides a robust and effective technical solution for high-precision passive indoor localization in the Internet of Things (IoT) system, marking a significant advancement in the field.Keywords
