An Indoor Localization Algorithm On FPGA
Multiple RF reader modules were localized by using received signal strength value from stationary RF tags. Localization algorithm was implemented on an FPGA.
Summary
In this study, a RFID based indoor localization algorithm and a RFID mutual authentication protocol is implemented by hardware software co-design techniques. Firstly, background knowledge is given related with used tools and software, as well as the important concepts regarding indoor localization. After that part, implemented algorithms and protocols is presented for a better comprehension about the topic. In the implementation Chapters, hardware implementation of LANDMARC indoor localization algorithm and the software implementation of Molnar-Wagner Mutual Authentication Protocol is presented in details, respectively. Verilog hardware description language and Xilinx’s ISE Design Suite are used for hardware implementation, whereas C++ programming language, MicroBlaze soft-processor and Xilinx’s XPS tools are used for software implementation.
