Abstract

At present, global positioning system (GPS) is the most widely used positioning technology for outdoors, but when it is indoors, its positioning accuracy will become lower. The anti-jamming ability of radio frequency identification (RFID) is strong, and it can be carried out in bad environment. Because of its advantages of non-sight distance, non-contact, relatively low price and so on, the application of RFID can realize the requirement of high-precision positioning. By analyzing the existing indoor positioning system, an algorithm of selecting the adaptive threshold value in virtual reference elimination (VIRE) is proposed in this paper, it can find the appropriate threshold values for each target to accommodate complex changes in the indoor environment, simulation results manifest its effectiveness.
