Abstract

This paper proposes the Internet connectivity of RF-powered devices in the backscatter system. The RF-powered devices do not use a battery and charge energy by harvesting from ambient RF signals of TV, a cellular phone and Wi-Fi devices. The Internet connectivity of the RF-powered devices in the backscatter system is very useful in Internet of things technology because the RF-powered devices which are called to a tag have a small size by the harvesting from ambient RF signals without a battery. This paper proposes a method improving the communication performance of the Wi-Fi backscatter system by applying the cooperative communication scheme.
