Motivation
• The state-of-art IoT connectivity solutions can be two powerhungry for ultra-low power / passive sensor devices.
• Transceiver is typically the most power hungry part of the IoTdevice.
• Can we communicate without having a transceiver in the IoTdevice?

Backscatter communications
• Backscatter of radio waves from an object has been a subject ofactive study since the development of radar back in the 1930’s,and the use of backscattered radio for communications sinceHarry Stockman's work in 1948.
• Backscatter Communications (BC) is widely used in RFID wherea reader device generates an unmodulated carrier signal, apassive tag absorbs the energy of this signal and then sendsback the modulated signal to the reader.
• BC devices do not need a power-hungry transceiver and canachieve up to 1000 times lower power consumption and 10 to100 times lower device cost than contemporary active-transceiver-based solutions.

Ambient backscatter communications• Passive radar systems encompass a class of radar systems that detect and
track objects by processing reflections from non-cooperative sources ofillumination in the environment, such as commercial broadcast andcommunications signals. It is a specific case of bistatic radar, the latter alsoincluding the exploitation of cooperative and non-cooperative radartransmitters.
• Passive radar is almost as old as radar with first experiments in UK in 1935.• Ambient backscatter communications can be interpreted as a
communication technology using the passive radar principle. Ambientbackscatter was invented by researchers at University of Washingtonaround 2013.

Load modulation
• The backscattering device varies the complex antenna loadreflection coefficient by switching the antenna load betweenstates.
• Modulated backscatter can generate, for instance,- Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK): resistive modulator impedance [Ishizaki et al. 2011];
OOK: Load modulator.- Frequency shift keying (FSK): digital [Vougioukas et al. 2016]; Frequency shifting:
low-power ring oscillator-based clock generator [Zhang et al. 2016].- Phase shift keying (PSK), reactive modulator impedance in the Gen2 standard;
transmission line for RFID .- Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).

Modulation methods: Chirp Pulses
• Chirp spectrum spread (CSS) modulationtechnique uses chirp pulses to conveyinformation.
• Principles: A time delay in the chirp signaltranslates to a frequency shift.
• Advantage: improving the spectral efficiencyby canceling the sideband harmonics.
• Synchronization of the slots across differentbackscatter devices: using a unique ON-OFFkeying sync pattern at the beginning of theTDMA round robin. This allows devices todetermine the slot boundaries for a wholeround-robin duration.

A simple method to generate the PWM pulse traincorresponding to a given signal is the intersectivePWM: the signal (here the red sine wave) iscompared with a sawtooth waveform (blue). Whenthe latter is less than the former, the PWM signal(magenta) is in high state (1). Otherwise it is in thelow state (0).

• Positives• Help to save energy as analog-to-digital converters and
microcontrollers are not needed.• Minimizes latency.

Packet level modulation
WiFi backscatter [Kellogg et al. 2014]: encodes a bit ‘1’ when theWiFi packets are present, otherwise it encodes a bit ‘0’ (silenceperiod); the tag receiver detects the different periods of the WiFipackets using an energy detector. To avoid other readers to transmitduring the silence period, the reader needs to send a CTS_to_SELFpacket before transmitting encoded information.

Fading
• Backscatter radio systems operate in the dyadic backscatterchannel: product of the forward and backscattered channel.
• Both links can experience fading.• Depending on the environment, this fading can be either
correlated or uncorrelated.
• Also the amplitude variation of the ambient signal appear asfading fort the AmBC receiver.

the TV receiver defines the equalization window.• If multi-path components are within the window they can be

Conclusions
• Ambient backscatter communications is a promising low-powercommunication scheme.
• It can share spectrum with incumbent system without causingharmful interference to the incumbent.
• It has very low power consumption and device cost• Efficient ambient backscatter communication receiver design must
mitigate the impact of the strong direct path interference.
