<p>The demand for indoor positioning has grown significantly due to applications that rely on location awareness in<br />spaces such as medical facilities, warehouses, and smart buildings. Unlike outdoor environments, where global<br />positioning system operates effectively, indoor positioning faces the challenges of signal blocking and multipath<br />effects common in enclosed areas. Current solutions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) provide<br />effective results, but they often involve high costs and complex install processes, especially in big settings. Given<br />these challenges, passive radio frequency identification (RFID) has become a viable choice for indoor positioning.<br />Not only the technology is cost-effective, but also eliminates the need of active power supply to its tags, making<br />efficiency increase. This paper is proposing a passive RFID-based positioning system which designed for rapid<br />deployment to solve signal interference, a common problem in the area with neighboring small spaces. We explore<br />the limitations of the current RFID system and propose simple strategies to ensure location accuracy with minimal<br />installation needs.</p>
