The radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies, which have been widely adopted in different Internet of Things (IoT) applications, are the fundamental building block for achieving smart factories, smart logistics, smart stores, etc. Besides knowing the ID of tags, the relative location information of different tags is of great importance since it contains the spatial relationship among different tags, which is essential for many object localization applications beyond the capacity of absolute localization approaches. In this article, we propose TagSort, an RFID-based sorting system that exploits the physical layer information, i.e., the phase of RFID wireless signals to achieve the relative localization of different tags. Several novel filtering and peak detection algorithms are proposed to achieve accurate and robust detection of the order of tags. Extensive evaluation shows promising results (over 95 accuracy) and make TagSort a promising system for future RFID sorting systems, thus enabling a variety of IoT applications and services.
