Abstract:
Due to extremely low power consumption, backscatter is promising to become general-purpose communication for Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The state-of-the-art BLE backscatter system RBLE can work fully with commodity Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices, however, the communication reliability of RBLE is still limited by its modulation scheme based on Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK). To address this issue, we refer to the modulation of active BLE radios to improve the modulation scheme of the backscatter tag. We present PBLE, a practical BLE backscatter communication system that modulates using phase shift. We conduct experiments to verify the feasibility and efficacy. Evaluation results demonstrate the feasibility and performance gains over RBLE in terms of bit error rate (BER). With PBLE, it is possible for us to reliably read the sensor data of tags using daily BLE devices.
