A Novel localization scheme for passive RFID tags; Communication Range Recognition (CRR)

摘要

This paper focuses on the localization technology of passive RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tags. By this technology, we will be able to detect some target, to get information on it, and to find the position and the distance of it. This paper proposes a novel scheme named Communication Range Recognition (CRR) in order to localize RFID tags effectively. This scheme finds the edges of the communication range of the RFID reader antenna when its position is moving by the robot appropriately. We evaluate the performance of the estimated position error through numerous experiments. We show that our proposed scheme can reduce the moving distance of the RFID reader without degrading the accuracy of localization in comparison with the conventional schemes.
