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… More >

Abstract Localization plays a vital role in the mobile robot navigation system and is a fundamental capability for the following path planning task. In an indoor environment where the global positioning system signal fails or becomes weak, the wireless sensor network (WSN) or simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) scheme gradually becomes a research hot spot. WSN method uses received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values to determine the position of the target signal node, however, the orientation of the target node is not clear. Besides, the distance error is large when the indoor signal receives interference. The… More >
