Wireless localization is essential for tracking objects in indoor environments. Internet of Things (IoT) enables localization through its diverse wireless communication protocols. In this paper, a hybrid section-based indoor localization method using a developed Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tracking device and multiple IoT wireless technologies is proposed. In order to reduce the cost of the RFID tags, the tags are installed only on the borders of each section. The RFID tracking device identifies the section, and the proposed wireless hybrid method finds the location of the object inside the section. The proposed hybrid method is analytically driven by linear location estimates obtained from different IoT wireless technologies. The experimental results using developed RFID tracking device and RSSI-based localization for Bluetooth, WiFi and ZigBee technologies verifies the analytical results.
