Abstract:

Ambient backscatter, a new communication technology, can permit battery-free devices to communicate with other devices through reflecting the ambient radio frequency signals. One challenge for ambient backscatter communication system is to recover the backscattered information bits hidden in the received signals. Existing solutions are mainly based on energy detector and thus provide poor performance at low signal noise ratio (SNR). To solve this problem, a detection algorithm based on statistical covariances is suggested in this paper. Specifically, we calculate the distributions of two covariance-based statistics, design the detection rule, and then derive the closed- form expressions for detection probability and bit error rate (BER). It is found that our proposed algorithm outperforms the energy detector at low SNR regions. Finally, the simulation results are provided to corroborate our theoretical studies.
