ABSTRACT

In the future, libraries and warehouses will gain benefits from the spatial location of books and merchandises attached with RFID tags. Existing localization algorithms, however, usually focus on improving positioning accuracy or the ordering one for RFID tags on the same layer. Nevertheless, books or merchandises are placed on the multilayer in reality and the layer of RFID tagged object is also an important position indication. To this end, we design PRMS, an RFID based localization system which utilizes both phase and RSSI values of the backscattered signal provided by a single antenna to estimate the spatial position for RFID tags. Our basic idea is to gain initial estimated locations of RFID tags through a basic model which extracts the phase differences between received signals to locate tags. Then an advanced model is proposed to improve the positioning accuracy combined with RF hologram based on basic model. We further change traditional deployment of a single antenna to distinguish the features of RFID tags on multilayer and adopt a machine learning algorithm to get the layer information of tagged objects. The experiment results show that the average accuracy of layer detection and sorting at low tag spacing ($2\sim8$cm) are about 93% and 84% respectively.
