The invention relates to a virtual reference tag-based RFID (
Radio Frequency Identification) positioning method and
system. The
system includes a set of tag antennas, a set of reader antennas, a set of tags to be positioned, and a processor. According to the virtual reference tag-based RFID (
Radio Frequency Identification) positioning method and
system of the present invention, a tag
fingerprint space is established according to the
signal strength and phases of the tag antennas; and the tags to be positioned in the tag
fingerprint space are positioned through using the tag
fingerprint space.Since a dual-attribute interpolation method is adopted, phase information is considered on the basis of the traditional
signal strength dimension, and interpolation is performed on the parameters of the two dimensions, namely,
signal strength and phases, so that a virtual reference tag is additionally adopted; and therefore, the accuracy of the method and system of the present invention is higherthan that of a technique that performs interpolation on a signal feature attribute to obtain a virtual tag, and the number of tags is not required to be increased, and errors introduced by interference between tags can be effectively avoided, and a positioning effect is more accurate.
