As the proliferation of backscatter-based applications, exploiting backscatter-based sensing becomes more important. Due to the requirement of accurate estimation of backscatter channels (phase and amplitude), which is often distorted when multiple signals collide with each other, existing works are generally limited to either parallel decoding of collided signals or with non-collided signals only. Motivated by our observation that a channel can be distorted during collisions, the movements of the ON-OFF Keying modulated signal still preserve channel properties of the respective tags, we propose the first approach to channel estimation of parallel 2backscattered signals, called Fireworks. We model the relationship between the channel and the signal moving trajectory in the In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) domain and implement this design in our lab. The results show that Fireworks is able to estimate up to five channels in parallel. When applied to the tracking application, Fireworks achieves 2~4× improvement in the tracking accuracy, compared with the state-of-the-art approach.

RFID tracking has attracted significant interest from both academia and industry due to its low cost and ease of deployment. Previous works focus more on tracking in 2D space or separately consider tracking of the location and the orientation. They especially struggle in 3D situations due to the increase in the degree of freedom and the limited information conveyed by the RFID tags. In this paper, we propose 3D-OmniTrack, an approach that can accurately track the 3D location and orientation of an object. We introduce a polarization-sensitive phase model in an RFID system, which takes into consideration both the distance and the 3D posture of an object. Based on this model, we design an algorithm to accurately track the object in 3D space. We conduct real-world experiments and present results that show 3D-OmniTrack can achieve centimeter-level location accuracy with the average orientation error of 5°. 3D-OmniTrack has significant advantages in both the accuracy and the efficiency, compared with state-of-the-art approaches.

RFID tracking attracts a lot of research efforts in recent years. Most of the existing approaches, however, adopt an orientation-oblivious model. When tracking a target whose orientation changes, those approaches suffer from serious accuracy degradation. In order to achieve target tracking with pervasive applicability in various scenarios, we in this paper propose OmniTrack, an orientation-aware RFID tracking approach. Our study discovers the linear relationship between the tag orientation and the phase change of the backscattered signals. Based on this finding, we propose an orientation-aware phase model to explicitly quantify the respective impact of the read-tag distance and the tags orientation. OmniTrack addresses practical challenges in tracking the location and orientation of a mobile tag. Our experimental results demonstrate that OmniTrack achieves centimeterlevel location accuracy and has significant advantages in tracking targets with varing orientations, compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.

Backscatter communication, due to its low energy consumption, attract a broad range of applications. The throughput of such low-power communication is however limited. Parallel backscatter is deemed as a promising technique for improving the overall throughput by enabling concurrent transmissions of the backscattering tags. The state-of-the-art approaches for parallel backscatter assume that all the states of the collided signals are distinguishable in the In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) signal plane. In this paper, we disclose the superclustering phenomenon that makes the assumption untenable and significantly degrades the overall performance. Moreover, we observe that the indistinguishable states at different channels are not the same due to the intrinsic channel diversity. Motivated by the observation, we propose Canon, an approach that exploits the channel diversity of the backscatter tags for reliable parallel decoding. In Canon, we address two critical challenges: (i) designing the Multi-Carrier Backscatter (MCB) module to extract the collided signals simultaneously from multiple channels, (ii) designing the Multi-Channel Cluster Union (MCCU) algorithm to distinguish each state of the collided signals. The experiments demonstrate that Canon can achieve over 10x higher throughput than the state-of-the-art approaches.

Liquid leakage detection is a crucial issue in modern industry, which concerns industrial safety. Traditional solutions, which generally rely on specialized sensors, suffer from intrusive deployment, high cost, and high power consumption. Such problems prohibit applying those solutions for large-scale and continuously industrial monitoring. In this work, we present a RFID-based solution, TwinLeak, to detect liquid leakage using COTS RFID devices. Detecting the leakage accurately with coarse-grained RSSI and phase readings of tags has been a daunting task, which is especially challenging when low detection delay is required. Our system achieves these goals based on the fact that the inductive coupling between two adjacent tags is highly sensitive to the liquid leaked between them. Therefore, instead of judging according to the signals of each individual tag, TwinLeak utilizes the relationship between the signals of two tags as an effective feature for leakage detection. Specifically, Twin-Leak extracts discriminative signal features from short segments of signals and instantly identifies leakage using a light-weight classifier. A model-guided method for leakage progress tracking is further devised to simultaneously estimate the leakage volume and rate. We implement TwinLeak, evaluate its performance across various scenarios, and deploy it in a real-world industrial IoT system. In average, TwinLeak achieves a TPR higher than 97.2%, a FPR lower than 0.5%, and a relative property estimation error around 10%, while triggering early alarms after only about 4.6mL liquid leaks.
