Abstract: High-precision indoor multi-target localization technology is crucial for implementing customized intelligent services.Currently,indoor localization technology based on radio frequency identification(RFID) has received extensive attention from both academia and industry due to its advantages such as low cost,easy deployment,and multi-target sensing.However,traditional RFID-based multi-target relative localization systems require the use of multiple receiving antennas for data transmission and reception,leading to high deployment costs.Additionally,the received signal strength indication(RSSI) sequence also have data interruption.To address these problems,this paper proposes an RFID multi-tag relative localization method based on the features of RSSI sequence.This method first uses uniformly moving antennas to obtain the received RSSI signal sequences of multiple target tags.Then,the received RSSI sequence data is pre-processed to fill in missing data and construct a sequence similarity measurement table based on cosine similarity.Finally,this paper designs different tag grouping algorithms from multiple group dimensions to achieve relative localization of RFID multi-tags.Through a large number of relative localization tests on a typical indoor multi-group RFID tag array,experimental results show that the proposed method has an average accuracy of over 92% for RFID tag relative localization,and the average localization calculation time for a 5*5 antenna array is less than 1 s.Compared with other relative localization works,the computational efficiency of this method is improved by nearly 10 times.

Key words: Relative location, Radio frequency identification, Received signal strength indication, Cosine similarity
