Abstract The rapid evolution of wireless technologies and the advent of 6G networks present new challenges and opportunities for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, particularly in terms of ultra-reliable, secure, and energy-efficient communication. This study explores the integration of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) into IoT networks to enhance communication performance. Unlike traditional passive reflector-based approaches, RIS is leveraged as an active optimization tool to improve both backscatter and direct communication modes, addressing critical IoT challenges such as energy efficiency, limited communication range, and double-fading effects in backscatter communication. We propose a novel computational framework that combines… More >

Abstract In wireless communications, the Ambient Backscatter Communication (AmBC) technique is a promising approach, detecting user presence accurately at low power levels. At low power or a low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), there is no dedicated power for the users. Instead, they can transmit information by reflecting the ambient Radio Frequency (RF) signals in the spectrum. Therefore, it is essential to detect user presence in the spectrum for the transmission of data without loss or without collision at a specific time. In this paper, the authors proposed a novel Spectrum Sensing (SS) detection technique in the Cognitive… More >

Abstract Networks based on backscatter communication provide wireless data transmission in the absence of a power source. A backscatter device receives a radio frequency (RF) source and creates a backscattered signal that delivers data; this enables new services in battery-less domains with massive Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Connectivity is highly energy-efficient in the context of massive IoT applications. Outdoors, long-range (LoRa) backscattering facilitates large IoT services. A backscatter network guarantees timeslot-and contention-based transmission. Timeslot-based transmission ensures data transmission, but is not scalable to different numbers of transmission devices. If contention-based transmission is used, collisions are unavoidable. To More >
