Abstract

There have been increasing interests in exploring the sensing capabilities of RFID to enable numerous IoT applications, including object localization, trajectory tracking, and human behavior sensing. However, most existing methods rely on the signal measurement either in a low multIPath environment, which is unlikely to exist in many practical situations, or with special devices, which increase the operating cost. This paper investigates the possibility of measuring 'multIPath-free' signal information in multIPath-prevalent environments simply using a commodity RFID reader. The proposed solution, Clean Physical Information Extraction (CPIX), is universal, accurate, and compatible to standard protocols and devices. CPIX improves RFID sensing quality with near zero cost-it requires no extra device. We implement CPIX and evaluate its effectiveness on improving the performance on tag localization. The results show that CPIX reduces the localization error by 30% to 50% and achieves the MOST accurate localization by commodity readers compared to existing work.
