Adaptive Backscatter Communication Against Intermittent WiFi Transmission

Jan. 2019 - July. 2019

Designed an adaptive Reed-Solomon coded backscatter system to protect the data transmission against the intermittent nature of the excitation signals in the ambient backscatter system to overcome low throughput in the backscatter communication system using WiFi signal due to the dynamic channel idle period.

---

Coded-Backscatter Multiple Access

May. 2018 - Jan. 2019

Proposed a coded-backscatter multiplexing access scheme for backscatter communications in order to meet the loose coupling and high capacity requirements to deploy the backscatter communication in dense and heterogeneous environments.
