Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new location acquisition scheme based on RFID that reduces the computation cost of location acquisition and keeps the accuracy of the location. In addition, we propose an incremental location update policy to reduce the location update cost for moving objects. To show the superiority of our proposed scheme, we compare it with the existing researches. It is shown through various experiments that the proposed system reduces the computation cost of location estimation 500 times more than existing researches. Also, the proposed system significantly reduces the cost of location update using the RFID-based update policy.
