This letter presents a novel iterative positioning method for tracing the body segments of a person moving indoors using radio-frequency (RF) signals. The indoor space is equipped with a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system. The person is modelled by a cluster of moving point scatterers, playing the role of moving body segments. The proposed technique estimates the time-variant (TV) positions of the moving scatterers by fitting the TV channel transfer function (TVCTF) of the channel model as close as possible to the TVCTF of the measured channels. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of this method.
