Backscatter Networking Leveraging Existing RF Signal Resources

Backscatter communication technology has been introduced recently. It is becoming a go-to choice for self-sustainable
communication systems as an external power supply or a dedicated carrier emitter is not required. By using existing RF
signal resources, backscatter technology can support sustainable and independent communications and consequently open up
a whole new set of applications that facilitate Internet-of-Things.

Software-defined radio is an RF

that are typically performed by hardware.
This communication system provides a
