The shortcomings of conventional GPS in indoor environments have called for the development of replacement localization methods. This paper presents a methodical review of IoT-enabled indoor localization techniques covering both well-known technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and Wi-Fi fingerprinting, as well as newer approaches such as Visible Light Communication (VLC). We critically evaluate these technologies by way of a comprehensive analysis of modern research and case studies, emphasizing significant performance criteria such as accuracy, scalability, and energy efficiency as well as pragmatic concerns such as cost and security. Our work looks at field trends still in development, highlights significant gaps and problems, and integrates the current state of the art. We also stress potential application fields - such as smart homes, healthcare, and industrial automation - that stand to benefit significantly from advances in indoor localization. Finally, we outline future research intended to address current limitations, including the need of higher accuracy in complex environments and more robust security measures. 2025 IEEE.
