Technical field
The present invention relates to fields such as automatic positioning technology, radio-frequency (RF) identification (RFID) technology and Internet of Things, especially based on the tag location technology of RFID.
Background technology
Along with the development of wireless network and the appearance of ubiquitous calculating, increasing application need is known the positional information of object, and automatic positioning technology more and more is subjected to people's attention.Existing indoor automatic station-keeping system mainly contains infrared ray, IEEE802.11, ultrasound wave and RFID, these positioning systems respectively have advantage, compare with other technologies, the RFID technology utilize contactless automatic identification, accommodative ability of environment strong, swift to operate, can discern high-speed moving object and multiple goal and advantage such as read and receive much concern.On the other hand, along with the proposition and the development of Internet of Things, RFID is widely used in fields such as logistics, asset management, medical treatment, retail as one of its gordian technique, and its location technology also becomes the focus of people's research.
With regard to present progress, with regard to present progress, have much based on the localization method of RFID, use precision that the RFID of different frequency range can arrive also without identical.Generally, can be divided into two classes based on the RFID targeting scheme: tag location scheme and read write line targeting scheme.Wherein, the former as localizing objects, read write line and relevant reference label are come the position of estimating target label as being distributed in guarded region with reference to point by the known location of read write line and reference label with label; As localizing objects, a large amount of reference label are distributed in guarded region to the latter with read write line, and the position of each reference label is corresponding with its ID number, and the target read write line is determined its position by reading these reference label.The research of at present most RFID location technology mainly concentrates on the read write line positioning system, and reaches comparatively ideal bearing accuracy, and existing UHF rfid interrogator positioning system bearing accuracy when the 60cm of reference label interval can reach below the 30cm.
Need to such an extent that be pointed out that: all there is limitation separately in above-mentioned two kinds of technology paths.The read write line positioning system needs a large amount of reference label, and be merely able to locate the object that rfid interrogator is housed, and general read write line cost height and volume are big, therefore, similar system is not suitable for the location of voluminous object and the location of little article, and its application scenarios is subjected to great restriction.Though effectively avoided these problems in the tag location system, the bearing accuracy of present tag location system is not ideal enough, and existing UHF RFID tag location system accuracy has only 1.6m.
Summary of the invention
In view of the deficiency of the existing program of above statement, the present invention aims to provide a kind of flexible, high-precision RFID tag location method, as localizing objects, has reduced the cost of system with label, and localizing objects is not limited by body form, and is applicable to the multiple goal location; Do not need reference label, reduced the complexity of system, this method is applied to UHF RFID object locating system can realize that bearing accuracy is below 30cm.
Purpose of the present invention realizes by following means.
A kind of localization method based on the scanning of rfid interrogator antenna power, by rfid interrogator based on adjustable power, the RFID positioning system that at least two poliarizing antennas that are connected with described rfid interrogator (RFID antenna) and some target labels constitute; Poliarizing antenna by being positioned over different directions reads the target labels state in the process that changes power, and described target labels state Input Data Process is calculated each antenna come the position of estimating target label in the center of intersection region in the plane.
The inventive method has following advantage: on the basis that does not need reference label, the power sensing by regulating a plurality of antennas is to target labels, under the prerequisite of the dirigibility of positioning system, improved the bearing accuracy of tag location system greatly; If the locating area size changes, only need corresponding rfid interrogator of increase and RFID antenna can increase guarded region, simple to operate efficient.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing enforcement of the present invention is further described.
As shown in Figure 1, positioning system 100 has comprised the RFID label (101 of a plurality of needs location 1~101 N), main control computer 102, a plurality of rfid interrogator (103 1~103 N), corresponding a plurality of antennas (106 11~106 1NBy read write line 103 1Control; 106 N1~106 NNBy read write line 103 NControl), rfid interrogator adopt antenna gain adjustable or fixedly output power add the adjustable attenuator antenna and finish power scan, be that antenna need have gain (or output power) adjustable function (also can adopt fixing output antenna to add adjustable attenuator and form, promptly 104 and 105).The quantity of noting the antenna amount of rfid interrogator control and antenna positioned area size and needed bearing accuracy as required can be adjusted.Related similar system structure and principle are also in this patent covering scope.
Guarded region is carried out five equilibrium according to the maximum sensing diameter of RFID read-write system, in each zonule, two or more RFID antennas is separately fixed at the center of the different length of sides of zonule, a summit with guarded region is that true origin is set up rectangular coordinate system, notes the coordinate of each antenna.Change the power of read write line single port at first gradually, and measure the maximum distance that read write line can read under each power (direction on vertical antenna plane), set up the relational model of antenna power and maximum read distance; Secondly, for the target labels in the guarded region, change the power of each antenna respectively, just in time can read target labels up to each antenna, record this moment each antenna port performance number, and the maximum that substitution antenna power and the model that reads distance are obtained the current power of each antenna reads radius; Make at last the plane propagation model of antenna according to the coordinate position of the sensing diameter of antenna and antenna, the center of calculating the plane propagation model intersecting area of each antenna is the estimated position of target labels.
The experimental system of the inventive method is that the zone of 400cm*400cm constitutes by the UHF rfid interrogator of one four antenna port, two UHF RFID antennas (XCAF-12L), target labels and area, wherein each antenna port adjustable power of rfid interrogator.
Show as Fig. 2, at first two antennas be separately fixed on the both sides of guarded region and (, can between read write line and antenna, add adjustable attenuator) that the coordinate of antenna is respectively (210,0) and (0,230) (unit be centimetre) for the fixing read write line of power; Then target labels is placed in the guarded region at random, measures after deployment is finished and set up the output power of antenna port and the relational model of antenna sensing range.By above-mentioned introduction as can be known, the maximum read distance of antenna is along the dead ahead perpendicular to antenna surface.Antenna port power to x axle and y axle both direction is step change with 1dBm respectively, measure the value of 10dBm to the interior maximum read distance of 17dBm scope, at last the measured value of each power is asked on average, and the relation of deriving power and sensing diameter by curve fitting as shown in Figure 4, that is:
D(p)=38.71p-319.37 (1)
D (p) expression sensing diameter wherein, i.e. the diameter of antenna pattern (cm) under the current power, p represents the power (dBm) of antenna.
Based on power---sensing diameter model can position estimation to the target labels in the guarded region.At first, the power that changes the antenna on the x direction of principal axis is gradually write down the performance number p of this moment up to sensing target labels x, similarly, change the antenna power on the y direction of principal axis and write down the minimal power values p that senses target labels ySecondly, with p xAnd p ySubstitution formula (1) obtains the diameter D of antenna pattern xAnd D yAt last, make the radiation pattern of two antenna current power respectively and less than the radiation pattern of current power 0.5dBm by antenna coordinate, center of circle direction and diameter, as shown in Figure 2, can try to achieve intersecting area by formula (2), calculate this regional center get final product the estimated position of impact point.Be the feasibility of proof scheme, we have carried out ten experiments, and experimental result is illustrated in fig. 5 shown below, and (a) is diffusing some distribution plan of target location and estimated position, (b) is the error of coordinate curve of estimated position.
s . t . ( x - a ) 2 + y 2 ≤ r 1 2 ( x - a ) 2 + y 2 ≥ r 1 ′ 2 x 2 + ( y - b ) 2 ≤ r 2 2 x 2 + ( y - b ) 2 ≥ r 2 ′ 2 - - - ( 2 )
According to the such scheme principle, we have done further analysis to the precision influence factor of targeting scheme.Simulation result shows that three Antenna Positioning are significantly improved than two Antenna Positioning, shown in Fig. 6 (a).Then, antenna be not many more might as well, three antennas that are positioned of four antennas of presentation of results of Fig. 6 (a) are compared and are had only less improvement, if consider the cost of system, the targeting scheme of three antennas should be optimal selection.The presentation of results of Fig. 6 (b) reduces the change step-length of antenna power, can further improve system accuracy.
According to basic scheme of the present invention, multiple different selection when implementing, reality can be arranged also.For example: target labels can be passive label or active label; Antenna can be circular polarized antenna, linear polarized antenna or the combination of the two; Antenna can be high frequency (HF, 13.54MHz), ultrahigh frequency (UHF, 850MHz~910MFz) and microwave (2.45GHz) frequency range; An available rfid interrogator with at least two antenna ports also can be made of the reading and writing device system of two single antenna ports at least.
In sum, major advantage of the present invention has following 3 points: (1) based on the RFID tag location system enhancement of power scan the precision of existing tag location system, three antennas can realize that precision is the location in the 30cm, and the step-length that reduces variable power can further improve precision; (2) need not reference label, make targeting scheme simply efficient, and be applicable to guarded region and different types of rfid system (as the rfid system of active label) that scene changes; (3) size of guarded region can change flexibly, only needs corresponding rfid interrogator of interpolation and RFID antenna can increase guarded region, and is simple to operate efficient; (4) power of each antenna of system changes according to the difference of target labels, can effectively reduce the power consumption of system.
