Passive RFID localization in the Internet of Things

Smart home researches have emerged in recent years as a popular field of study in pervasive computing to suggest a solution that can be beneficial for impaired individuals and elderly on their daily life basis. Location tracking accuracy is a major research challenge in smart homes that needs much further investigation. This paper presents a review of the existing techniques and technologies in location based systems in the Internet of things, and it identifies the research gap of localization in smart home settings. The paper proposes a localization framework for smart home healthcare as well as our preliminary implementation of the localization framework.
