Indoor localization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle based on passive UHF RFID systems

In this paper, we propose a novel indoor localization technique of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using passive UHF far-field RFID systems. First, this paper presents impact of existence of UAV to RFID system. According to our empirical results, the existence of UAV, in a monitoring area, induces RF shadowing and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) interference from deployed tags. Second, we propose a localization method using observation of RF shadowing and RSSI interference under indoor environments.
