| Summary: | Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an information
exchange technology based on RF communication. It provides solution to track
and localize mobile objects in the indoor environment. Localization of mobile
objects in an indoor environment garnered a significant attention due to the
variety of applications needing higher degree of localization accuracy. RSSbased localization techniques are the major tools for tracking applications due to
their simplicity. In this paper, a trilateration method for indoor localization is
proposed. This method provides a solution for the drone tracking problem by
collecting the RSS values between RFID tagged drone and reader, and estimate
its location. The localization method is implemented in MATLAB by multiple
readers; 4 RFID readers and 8 RFID readers. The performance of the localization
method is also compared with other RFID localization previously reported in the
literature. The simulation results in the case of 8 RFID readers demonstrate more
accurate results than 4 RFID readers by minimizing the localization error from
0.84606 to 0.40079m. The results also indicate an improved localization
performance of tracking a tagged drone in indoor environment by 42.8% when
8RFID readers are placed in the localization area. |
