Low-power backscatter relay network

Published: 05 January 2017 Publication History

Abstract

This paper proposes a full duplex relay scheme for ambient backscatter devices which require little or no power for operation. The ambient backscatter devices reflect radio signals from ambient sources such as TV tower, FM radio station, etc. Because of the backscattering of radio signals, such devices have small coverage range. To extend the network coverage of such devices, relaying is the most conventional way, which is previously used for extending the coverage range of radio networks such as LTE, WiFi and so on. In this paper, the backscatter devices assist other backscatter devices to relay the information to their destination nodes. Because of the full duplex characteristics at the relaying node, they can send their own information while receiving signals from the source node. We propose the relaying procedure for full duplex backscatter nodes and investigate the its performance in terms of throughput by performing simulations.
