In a recent paper we presented new measurement results for an angle of arrival based approach to localize UHF RFID transponders in an indoor environment with off-the-shelf IDS R901G RFID reader ICs and UPM Raflatac DogBone RFID transponders. We were able to localize the transponders with a mean accuracy of 0.21 m using three antenna array positions for triangulation in a 3 m × 3 m room. In this paper we present an RSS based algorithm to select a special subset of antenna array positions for the estimation of the transponder position in a measurement setup with five different antenna array positions. With this algorithm a reduction of the mean measurement error by 50% was achieved for the considered test grid compared to the original approach in [1].
