Further, the location information is very important in many applications, such as the Internet of Things, logistics, library management and so on. Hence, different technologies and techniques have been proposed in the literature for indoor localization systems. Most of these systems present the disadvantages of a poor performance, low accuracy and high cost. However, thanks to its low cost, high accuracy and non-line-of-sight detection, radio frequency identification (RFID)-based localization has increasingly become the most used technology for indoor localization. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach based on the multiple input single output (MISO) protocol to improve the accuracy of a low-cost RFID localization system. Whereas most traditional systems use a single tag for localization, the proposed architecture encourages the use of a group of RFID tags named as a constellation. According to experimental results and based on the signals\u2019 diversity, the location accuracy is improved to get an estimated position error of 81 cm at the cumulative distribution function of 90%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20154100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]],"date-time":"2020-07-23T15:26:01Z","timestamp":1595517961000},"page":"4100","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Performance, Accuracy and Generalization Capability of RFID Tags\u2019 Constellation for Indoor Localization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Elias","family":"Hatem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, EFREI Paris, 94800 Villejuif, France"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Abou-Chakra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Technology, Lebanese University, Aabey 24375, Lebanon"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5992-8124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Colin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, EFREI Paris, 94800 Villejuif, France"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marc","family":"Laheurte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electronics, Communication Systems and Microsystems Laboratory (ESYCOM), Paris Est University, 77420 Champs-sur-Marne, France"}]},{"given":"Bachar","family":"El-Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Technology, Lebanese University, Aabey 24375, Lebanon"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"77","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpe.2010.07.039","article-title":"A literature review on the impact of RFID technologies on supply chain managemen","volume":"128","author":"Sarac","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int.
