3D localization method for RFID tags by using mobile readers and virtual reference tags

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is an identification technique for storing and transferring data and it is applied for identifying and tracking tags. Our study focus on RFID tags localization by using only mobile readers without the inclusion of static readers, helps to avoid pre-deploying of static readers. We are based only on connectivity information for achieving the goal of robust 3D localization method. The benefits of this work are: an optimized system cost, a scalable system with no need of further system maintenance. Simulation results will show satisfactory localization accuracy.
