Abstract

This paper considers a localization problem of a moving tag on RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) systems, where a positioning engine collects TDOA(Time-difference of Arrival) signal from a target tag to estimate the position of the tag. To localize the tag in the RFID system, we develop two heuristic algorithms and evaluate their performance in the estimation error and computational time by using randomly generated numerical examples. Based upon the performance evaluation, we can conclude our algorithms are valuable for localization the moving target.
