ABSTRACT
The Internet of Things (IoT) enables numerous business opportunities in fields as diverse as e-health, smart
cities, smart homes, among many others. The IoT incorporates multiple long-range, short-range, and
personal area wireless networks and technologies into the designs of IoT applications. Localisation in
indoor positioning systems plays an important role in the IoT. Location Based IoT applications range from
tracking objects and people in real-time, assets management, agriculture, assisted monitoring technologies
for healthcare, and smart homes, to name a few. Radio Frequency based systems for indoor positioning
such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a key enabler technology for the IoT due to its costeffective,
high readability rates, automatic identification and, importantly, its energy efficiency
characteristic. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art RFID technologies in IoT Smart Homes applications.
It presents several comparable studies of RFID based projects in smart homes and discusses the
applications, techniques, algorithms, and challenges of adopting RFID technologies in IoT smart home
systems.
