Ergodic Rate Analysis of Cooperative Ambient Backscatter Communication
Ambient backscatter communication has shown great potential in the development of future wireless networks. It enables a backscatter transmitter (BTx) to send information directly to an adjacent receiver by modulating over ambient radio frequency (RF) carriers. In this paper, we consider a cooperative ambient backscatter communication system where a multi-antenna cooperative receiver separately decodes signals from an RF source and a BTx. Upper bounds of the ergodic rates of both links are derived. The power scaling laws are accordingly characterized for both the primary cellular transmission and the cooperative backscatter. The impact of additional backscatter link is also quantitatively analyzed. Simulation results are provided to verify the derived results
CRC-based Reliable WiFi Backscatter Communiation for Supply Chain Management
Supply chain management is aimed to keep going long-term performance of the
supply chain and minimize the costs. Backscatter technology provides a more
efficient way of being able to identify items and real-time monitoring. Among
the backscatter systems, the ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) system
provides a prospect of ultra-low energy consumption and does not require
controlled excitation devices. In this paper, we introduce CRCScatter, a CRC
reverse algorithm-based AmBC system using a single access point (AP). A CRC
reverse decoder is applied to reverse the ambient data from CRC32 sequence in
the backscatter packet and realize single-AP decoding. Based on the nature of
DBPSK modulation in WiFi signal, the CRCScatter system obtains the tag data by
XOR and Differential decoder. Our simulation results verify the effectiveness
of our proposed system in the low SNR regime. The average decoding time of
CRCScatter system is independent of the length of tag data. Furthermore, our
system can append redundant bits in the tag data to improve the decoding
accuracy while not increasing the decoding time
