The growing interest in ultra-low-power wireless sensors powered directly by energy harvesters has revealed one of the major drawbacks of such battery-less devices, which is engaging communication between nodes, without wasting energy due to unavailable receivers. Backscatter communication enables low-power communication by eliminating energy-hungry hardware components and can communicate if IoT devices are ready to receive even at zero-energy onboard. In this paper, we present the design of a backscatter radio mechanism that is used as a feedback channel to transmit the energy state information almost for free.

Abstract
The growing interest in ultra-low-power wireless sensors powered directly by energy harvesters has revealed one of the major drawbacks of such battery-less devices, which is engaging communication between nodes, without wasting energy due to unavailable receivers. Backscatter communication enables low-power communication by eliminating energy-hungry hardware components and can communicate if IoT devices are ready to receive even at zero-energy onboard. In this paper, we present the design of a backscatter radio mechanism that is used as a feedback channel to transmit the energy state information almost for free. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach designed according to the novel approach of “transient computing”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
