Each wake-up signal includes an antenna ID of the antenna that transmitted the wake-up signal. A plurality of identification signals are received from a tag, each identification signal generated in response to receipt by the tag of a wake-up signal from a corresponding antenna and including a tag ID of the tag and the antenna ID included in the wake-up signal of the antenna that transmitted the wake-up signal. A directionality of the tag is determined based on the sequence in which the plurality of identification signals are received from the tag.
