However, conventional RSSI-based algorithms present inaccurate ranging, especially in indoor environments, mainly because of the multipath randomness effect. In this work, we propose RSSI-based localization with low-complexity, passive RFID infrastructure utilizing the potential benefits of large-scale MIMO technology operated in the millimeter-wave band, which offers channel hardening, in order to alleviate the effect of small-scale fading. Particularly, by investigating an indoor environment equipped with extremely simple dielectric resonator (DR) tags, we propose an efficient localization algorithm that enables a smart object equipped with large-scale MIMO exploiting the RSSI measurements obtained from the reference DR tags in order to improve the localization accuracy. In this context, we also derive Cramer\u2013Rao lower bound of the proposed technique. Numerical results evidence the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms considering various arbitrary network topologies, and results are compared with an existing algorithm, where the proposed algorithms not only produce higher localization accuracy but also achieve a greater robustness against inaccuracies in channel modeling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20143933","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]],"date-time":"2020-07-16T10:54:46Z","timestamp":1594896886000},"page":"3933","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Indoor Large-Scale MIMO-Based RSSI Localization with Low-Complexity RFID Infrastructure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0410-9030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed","family":"El-Absi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Digital Signal Processing, University of Duisburg-Essen, 47057 Duisburg, Germany"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Digital Signal Processing, University of Duisburg-Essen, 47057 Duisburg, Germany"}]},{"given":"Ashraf","family":"Abuelhaija","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering Department, Applied Science Private University, Amman 11931, Jordan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4664-2124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Al-haj Abbas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Digital Signal Processing, University of Duisburg-Essen, 47057 Duisburg, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7904-3983","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Klaus","family":"Solbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Digital Signal Processing, University of Duisburg-Essen, 47057 Duisburg, Germany"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Kaiser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Digital Signal Processing, University of Duisburg-Essen, 47057 Duisburg, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zheng, F., and Kaiser, T.
