We are running a project to to use RFID as local positioning system, and thought from the description of the device we could use this. The reason we posted on this forum is that the device use NRF24LE1 chip.

Is there any other method we can use for trilateration or positioning. Maybe one of the following:

Time of Arrival (ToA);
Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA);
Angle of Arrival (AoA);

I'm not exactly sure what that device is or what it does, but it says it uses the NRF24LE1 chip, which as far as i know doesn't support rssi indication. There is nothing in the nRF24LE1 Product Specification about RSSI, and it also mentions that it is based on the nRF24L01+ : https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/7804/rssi-of-nrf24l01/

There is something called Received Power Detector (section 3.3.4 in the PS) but it looks like it's just a boolean value indicating if the received power is more or less than -64 dBm.
