Location Estimation Using Space-Time Signal Processing in RFID Wireless Sensor Networks

Location Estimation Using Space-Time Signal Processing in RFID Wireless Sensor Networks

We consider real-time locating systems (RTLS) consisting of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and multiantenna readers to propose a novel location estimation algorithm based on the concept of space-time signature matching for multipath environments. In contrast to previous fingerprint-based...
