Abstract

Different approaches based on various wireless technologies have been proposed so far for indoor localization. Radio frequency Identification (RFID) indoor localization seems to be a promising way of research. The identification capability of this technology combined to localization methods improves the results obtained by other wireless technologies such as Wifi, GPS, Zigbee. This paper details some localization techniques used for RFID Tags localization in Indoor environment. In particular, Fingerprinting methods are compared to Distance estimation methods. We will show through several simulation experiments, using NS2 and Matlab software, that fingerprinting techniques outperform Distance estimation techniques for localization and tracking tasks.
