| Abstract |
Backscatter communication is a battery-less data transmission method for massive IoT devices. These backscatter devices receive an incident signal from an RF-source gateway to harvest energy. These devices can be operated to transmit data after harvesting energy. This technology is widely applied to smart city applications. In general, IoT devices in the smart city applications have insufficient resources. They use narrowband communication to transmit small sizes of data. Thus, a simple channel access approach should be considered for data transmission. In addition, network scalability is also important in the backscatter network for smart city applications. According to energy harvesting and data generation, devices participating in data transmission can change frequently. Providing the network scalability by the changing devices can improve the transmission efficiency in the backscatter network. Therefore, we propose a novel media access scheme for the backscatter network in the smart city applications. The proposed scheme is designed by the contention-based approach to support the network scalability. It controls backscattering signal for energy harvesting and distributes contention in multiple access. It allows additional data transmission in backscattering period for harvesting energy to provide fairness of devices. For performance evaluation, extensive computer simulations are carried out and the proposed method is compared to TDMA that is a typical media access scheme in the backscatter network. |
