Nowadays indoor positioning applications have received great attentions among short range wireless communication systems. In particular, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the most widely used technology for indoor localization as it is cheap and easy to deploy. However, location accuracy is limited by the harsh propagation of the Radio Frequency (RF) signals in indoor environments, for instance, caused by the presence of obstacles between wireless nodes, multi-paths, interference, etc. To overcome these effects and improve positioning accuracy, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is employed to assist the WSN based positioning. This paper proposes two hybrid positioning approaches based both on WSN and RFID. One solution uses an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm while the other one uses a Particle Filter (PF) approach. Both methods are compared through Matlab simulations which demonstrate that in general the WSN/RFID hybrid approach is feasible and provides good positioning estimation capabilities even under harsh indoor conditions.
