IoT Smart Homes based on RFID Technology: Localization Systems Review

Internet of Things (IoT) become one of the buzzwords in the Information Technology. It an ecosystem of technologies monitoring the status of physical objects, capturing significant data, and communicating that information to software applications through IP networks. Today, Indoor localization systems based on underlying technologies like RFID have been designed and used to locate the movement of objects and subjects in the indoor environment. This technology finds its use in various indoor localization applications ranging from healthcare, tracking people and objects in real time to helped living in the smart environment and many more. The technology of RFID is known very convenient due to many benefits of flexibility, automatic identification, its cost effective and its energy efficiency. This paper presents some IoT Smart Homes applications based on RFID technologies. its presents also a number of comparable studies and discusses the techniques, applications, algorithms, and challenges presented during the integration of RFID technologies in IoT smart home systems.
