The RFID communication system includes a reader (reader) and a tag (tag).
RFID devices operate in two modes, inductive coupling and backscattering (also called backscattering). The inductive coupling mode is generally suitable for short-range induction of medium and low frequency operation, and the backscattering mode is generally suitable for long-range induction of high frequency operation.

In addition, the method can also be applied to a subsequent evolution system using an LTE system, such as a fifth generation 5G system and the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the backscatter communication method provided in the present application may be applied to a communication system including a Base Station (BS), a terminal device, and an IoT device. The base station is used for providing an excitation signal, and the terminal equipment and the IoT equipment are in backscatter communication through the excitation signal. IoT devices may be active devices or passive devices. In the present application, both the terminal device and the IoT device may be a transmitting device or a receiving device. For example, when the IoT device sends a signal to the terminal device, the IoT device is a sending device, and the terminal device is a receiving device; and when the terminal device sends an ACK (acknowledgement character) response signal to the IoT device, the terminal device is a sending device, and the IoT device is a receiving device.
The terminal devices referred to in the present application may include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, communication nodes on household appliances, medical devices, industrial devices, agricultural devices, or aviation devices, and the like, as well as various forms of User Equipment (UE), Mobile Stations (MS), terminals (terminal), terminal devices (terminal equipment), and the like.
An IoT device to which the present application relates may include any device that has an addressable interface in an internet of things application and is capable of communicating information to one or more terminal devices. For example, in a logistics transportation application, the IoT device may be a tracker; in a remote monitoring application, the IoT device may be a monitor; in security monitoring applications, the IoT devices may also be alarms and the like.
The base station referred to in the present application may be a device deployed in a radio access network to provide a wireless communication function for a terminal device, and may be, for example, various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, and so on. In systems using different radio access technologies, names of devices having functions of base stations may be different, for example, in an LTE network, referred to as an evolved node B (eNB or eNodeB), in a third generation 3G network, referred to as a node B (node B), or a communication node applied in a fifth generation communication system or for D2D communication, and the like, and other similar base stations may also be used. The base station may also be a Transmission and Reception Point (TRP), and the structure of the TRP may be a structure including a Remote Radio Unit (RRU), an indoor baseband unit (BBU), and an antenna feed system, or a structure including only a radio frequency and an antenna system.
Referring to fig. 2, which is a flow chart of an embodiment of a backscatter communication method of the present application, the method may include the following steps.
Step 201, the sending device receives a wakeup signal sent by the base station.
When the transmitting device and the receiving device are located in the coverage area of the base station, the downlink signal transmitted by the base station can be used as an excitation signal for backscatter communication. In order for the transmitting device and the receiving device to complete communication, the base station needs to transmit a wakeup (wakeup) signal to the transmitting device and the receiving device before communication is performed between the transmitting device and the receiving device. The wake-up signal includes communication parameters of data to be transmitted, and may specifically include frame structure indication information, communication start and stop time, a signal modulation mode, and the like. The communication start-stop time refers to a period from a transmission start time of data to be transmitted to a reception end time of the ACK response signal. In a specific application, the start-stop time of communication may be located in the same time cell, and the end time of transmission of the data to be transmitted is not located at the boundary of the time cell, where the energy of the excitation signal transmitted by the base station in each symbol in the time cell is the same. The time unit may be one LTE frame.
Step 202, the sending device determines the sending start time of the data to be sent according to the wakeup signal.
When a sending device intends to send information to a receiving device, data to be sent needs to be determined. When determining data to be transmitted, the determination may be performed according to frame format indication information in an awake signal transmitted by a base station. As shown in fig. 3, the data to be transmitted may include a preamble (preamble), a delimiter (delimitator), a frame header (frame header), a payload (payload), and a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). The frame header includes a target ID address, a transmission rate, and a frame length of data to be transmitted. The length of data to be transmitted may be less than 140 bits, and the CRC may be an 8-bit check code. The transmission rate in the frame header may be used to indicate the duration of each transmission time interval. It should be noted that the frame structure of the data to be transmitted shown in fig. 3 is an exemplary illustration, and the frame structure of the data to be transmitted is not specifically limited in this application.
The transmission start time is located at a boundary of a symbol. To ensure that the transmission start time is located at the boundary of the symbols, the transmitting device may determine the start time and the end time of each symbol according to the time at which the wakeup signal is received or according to the communication parameters in the wakeup signal. The symbol in the present application may be an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in an LTE frame structure adopted when the base station transmits the excitation signal. For example, the LTE frame structure may be: the frame length is 10ms, each frame comprises 10 subframes, each subframe comprises two slots, and each slot comprises 7 OFDM symbols. It should be noted that the LTE frame structure in the present application is an exemplary description, and the LTE frame structure may be set according to specific requirements or needs in specific implementation, which is not limited herein.
Step 203, the sending device performs scattering processing on the excitation signal sent by the base station in a kth sending time interval from the sending start time according to a kth bit value in the data to be sent, where the scattering processing is to scatter the excitation signal sent by the base station or not to scatter the excitation signal, k is 1,2, … … n, and n is the number of bits included in the data to be sent.
The excitation signal is a signal transmitted by a base station. The base station for transmitting the excitation signal and the base station for transmitting the wakeup signal may be the same device or different devices. The data transmission can be realized through the scattering processing of the excitation signals. The sending equipment can preset different scattering processing modes corresponding to bit values before sending data. For example, a bit value of 0 may correspond to the way the scattered excitation signal is processed, and a bit value of 1 may correspond to the way the unscattered excitation signal is processed.
In the application, the transmitting device may change the antenna impedance of the receiving loop to perform the scattering processing on the excitation signal, and further, may change the antenna impedance by changing an open/close state of a switch that controls the access impedance. Therefore, in a specific implementation, the on-off state of the switch corresponding to different bit values may be preset, for example, a bit value of 0 may correspond to the on-off state, and a bit value of 1 may correspond to the off-state. For another example, when the transmitting device intends to transmit a bit value with 0 content, the switch may be opened, the antenna impedance may be adjusted to a magnitude capable of scattering the excitation signal, and the switch state may be maintained in the transmission time interval of the bit value 0, thereby completing the transmission of the bit value 0.
When the sending equipment scatters the excitation signal, a scattering signal is generated, the receiving equipment can simultaneously receive the excitation signal and the scattering information, when the sending equipment does not scatter the excitation signal, the scattering signal is not generated, the receiving equipment only receives the excitation signal, and when the sending equipment sends different bit values, the energy of the signals received by the receiving equipment in corresponding sending time intervals is different, so that the receiving equipment can determine the corresponding bit values according to the energy of the received signals, namely the bit values sent by the sending equipment. Therefore, the transmitting device of the present application may perform corresponding scattering processing on the excitation signal sent by the base station according to the bit value to be sent, so that the receiving device determines the corresponding bit value according to the energy of the signal received within the transmission time interval, thereby completing the back scattering communication with low power consumption or zero power consumption by using the excitation signal sent by the base station.
In a specific implementation, the transmission time interval includes at least one symbol, and the start time and the end time of the transmission time interval are both located at the boundary of the symbol. Since the energy of the excitation signal received by the receiving device in each symbol is equal, the starting time and the ending time of the transmission time interval are both positioned at the boundary of the symbol, so that the energy of the signal received in each transmission time interval can be stable, and the receiving device can accurately determine the bit value according to the energy of the received signal. If the transmission time interval is smaller than one symbol, the energy of the excitation signals received in each transmission time interval may not be equal due to a peak to average power ratio (PAPR), so that the bit value cannot be accurately determined according to the energy of the received signals. Therefore, the transmission time interval needs to include at least one symbol, and both the start time and the end time of the transmission time interval are located at the boundary of the symbol.
And the sending start time and the sending end time of the data to be sent are both positioned in the same time unit, and the sending end time of the data to be sent is not positioned at the boundary of the time unit.
Before transmitting data to a receiving device, a transmitting device may perform carrier sensing (LBT) to determine whether a channel is idle, that is, determine whether other transmitting devices are transmitting information in the vicinity of the transmitting device, so as to avoid mutual interference between the transmitting devices. The specific process of the carrier sensing may be as follows: the sending equipment determines the monitoring starting time according to the wakeup signal; the sending equipment detects the energy of a signal received in the ith sending time interval from the monitoring starting time, the signal is the excitation signal or the combination of the excitation signal and a scattering signal, the scattering signal is a signal generated after other sending equipment except the sending equipment scatters the excitation signal, i is 1,2, … … m, and m is an integer; and if the energy of the signals received by the sending equipment in the m sending time intervals is the same, determining the end time of the m sending time interval as the sending start time of the data to be sent.
If there are other sending devices sending information, due to the continuous adjustment of the scattering processing of the excitation signal, a scattering signal is generated sometimes, and no scattering signal is generated sometimes, accordingly, the sending device of the data to be sent receives the combination of the excitation signal and the scattering signal sometimes, only the excitation signal is received sometimes, and the energy of the received signal changes. Therefore, it can be determined whether the channel is idle by monitoring the energy of the signal received in each transmission time interval. When the transmitting device detects that the channel is busy, a Random backoff (Random backoff) operation is performed, that is, after delaying for a Random backoff time, the LBT operation is performed again. In a specific implementation, the listening period and the Random backoff time may each include at least one transmission time interval.
The following specifically describes a process of the reception device receiving data.
Referring to fig. 4, which is a flow chart of another embodiment of the backscatter communication method of the present application, the method may include the following steps.
Step 401, the receiving device receives a wakeup signal sent by the base station.
The wakeup signal received by the receiving device may be the same as the wakeup signal received by the transmitting device.
Step 402, the receiving device determines a detection start time according to the wakeup signal.
Since the transmission start time of the data transmitted by the transmission device is located at the boundary of the symbol, the detection start time also needs to be located at the boundary of the symbol, thereby ensuring accurate data reception. To ensure that the detection start time is located at the boundary of the symbols, the receiving device may determine the start time and the end time of each symbol according to the time at which the wakeup signal is received or according to the communication parameters in the wakeup signal.
Step 403, the receiving device sequentially determines an energy value of a signal received in each detection time interval from the detection start time, and determines a bit value according to each energy value, where the signal is an excitation signal sent by the base station or a combination of the excitation signal and a scattering signal, and the scattering signal is a signal generated after the transmitting device scatters the excitation signal.
In a specific implementation, the bit value corresponding to each energy value may be determined by comparing the energy value of the signal received in each detection time interval with a reference value. The reference value is an energy value of the excitation signal received by the receiving device during a detection time interval.
The receiving device needs to continuously receive signals in order to receive the data sent by the sending device, so that the bit values obtained in each detection time interval are determined by detecting the energy of the received signals in each detection time interval. Each detection time interval comprises at least one symbol, and the start time and the end time of each detection time interval are both located at the boundary of the symbol. Specifically, the detection time interval is equal to the transmission time interval used by the sending device to send data, and each transmission time interval is synchronized with one detection time interval, so that the receiving device is ensured to accurately receive each bit value sent by the sending device.
Since the power of wakeup signal transmitted by the base station is the same as the power of excitation signal transmitted, in a specific implementation, the reference value can be determined by detecting the energy value of wakeup signal received in at least one detection time interval, and the reference value is the energy of wakeup signal received in one detection time interval. The reference value may also be determined by detecting the energy of the received signal within at least one detection time interval after receiving the wakeup signal. Specifically, when the energy values of the received signals within the preset number of detection time intervals are equal, it may be determined that the energy values are the reference values. Therefore, if the power of the excitation signal transmitted by the base station is changed, the wakeup signal needs to be retransmitted.
In a specific implementation, the corresponding relationship between the comparison result of different energy values and the reference value and the bit value may be preset. For example, if the energy value is equal to or approximately equal to the reference value, it may correspond to a bit value of 1, and otherwise it corresponds to a bit value of 0. Further, the corresponding bit value may also be determined by comparing the difference between the energy value and the reference value with a threshold value. When the difference is larger than the threshold value, the received signal comprises a scattered signal, and when the difference is not larger than the threshold value, the received signal does not comprise the scattered signal. The threshold may be set accordingly according to specific situations, so the size of the threshold is not specifically limited in the present application. It should be noted that the bit value corresponding to the processing method of the unscattered excitation signal is the same as the bit value corresponding to the case where the energy value is equal to or approximate to the reference value, and the bit value corresponding to the processing method of the scattered excitation signal is the same as the bit value corresponding to the case where the energy value is not equal to or approximate to the reference value, so that the obtained bit value corresponds to the transmitted bit value, thereby realizing accurate transmission of data.
Step 404, when the receiving device obtains p continuous bit values same as a preset preamble and obtains q continuous bit values same as preset address information within a first preset time period after obtaining the p bit values, determining target data, where the target data includes the p bit values, the q bit values, and s continuous bit values after the q bit values, and p, q, and s are positive integers.
The preset preamble and the preset address information in the receiving device may be determined according to the communication parameters in the wakeup signal, or may be determined according to other pre-stored information. The preset address information is also address information of the receiving apparatus itself, and is used to determine whether the received data is the target data.
When the transmitting device does not transmit data, the bit value obtained by the receiving device does not change, and the obtained bit value is always 0 or 1. As shown in fig. 3, when the transmitting apparatus starts to transmit data, the p bit values included in the preamble are first transmitted continuously. When the receiving device receives that the continuous p bit values are the same as the preset preamble, the data sent by the sending device is received. After the preamble is transmitted, the transmitting device continuously transmits the q bit values included in the destination address field. When the receiving device receives q consecutive bit values identical to the preset address information, it is indicated that the target data is being received. And then determining the number s of bit values to be determined subsequently according to the number of bits contained in the target data, wherein the value of s is the value obtained by subtracting p and q from the number of bits contained in the target data. In a specific implementation, as shown in fig. 3, after the sending device sends the destination address field and the transmission rate field, each bit value included in the frame length field may be sent continuously, and the receiving device may determine, according to the obtained frame length information, the number of bits included in the destination data, and further determine the number of subsequent bit values that need to be determined.
In order to keep the start time and the end time of the transmission time interval aligned with the boundary of the symbol, and to keep the start time and the end time of the detection time interval aligned with the boundary of the symbol, the base station may transmit the wakeup signal according to a preset period.
And when the receiving equipment does not obtain p continuous bit values which are the same as the preset lead code within a second preset time period after the receiving equipment receives the wakeup signal, or does not obtain q continuous bit values which are the same as the preset address information within a first preset time period after the p bit values are obtained, terminating the determination of the energy value of the received signal within each detection time interval, and terminating the determination of the bit value obtained within each detection time interval according to the energy value. In a specific implementation, a receiver of the receiving device for backscatter communication with a transmitting device may be turned off, thereby reducing power consumption. The receiver is configured to implement steps 402 to 404. When the receiver is in the off state, if the receiving device receives the wakeup signal again, the receiver is turned back on.
The transmission start time and the transmission end time of the data to be transmitted are also located in the same time unit, so that each detection time interval for receiving the target data is located in the same time unit. If the respective detection time intervals for receiving the target data are located in two consecutive time units and the energy of the excitation signal changes in the two time units, erroneous determination of the bit value may result. Further, since the receiving device sends the ACK response signal to the sending device after receiving the data sent by the sending device, in order to ensure that the ACK response signal is accurately transmitted to the sending device, it is necessary to ensure that the energy of the excitation signal sent by the base station is equal to that in each sending time interval during the sending process of the ACK response signal and during the sending process of the data to be sent. Since the energy of the excitation signal may change in two consecutive time units, the transmission start time of the data to be transmitted and the reception end time of the ACK response signal may both be in the same time unit.
When the receiving device is not a target receiving device, the receiving device may transmit the target data to a base station to cause the base station to transmit the target data to the target receiving device. In an application scenario, when the IoT device is far away from the target terminal device and cannot communicate in a backscattering manner, the IoT device may send the target data to the terminal device near the IoT device by using the communication manner, and the terminal device sends the target data to the base station, so that the base station sends the target data to the target terminal device. Similarly, when the base station intends to send information to the IoT device, the base station may first send the information to the terminal device, so as to send the information to the IoT device through the terminal device.
The sending device can correspondingly scatter the excitation signal according to the bit value to be sent, so that the receiving device determines the corresponding bit value according to the energy of the signal received in the sending time interval, and the back scattering communication with low power consumption or zero power consumption is completed by using the excitation signal sent by the base station.
Referring to fig. 5, which is a flow chart of another embodiment of the backscatter communication method of the present application, the method may include the following steps.
Step 501, the sending device receives a wakeup signal sent by the base station.
Step 502, the receiving device receives a wakeup signal sent by the base station.
Step 501 and step 502 may be executed simultaneously or not. When step 501 and step 502 are not performed simultaneously, step 501 may be performed first, or step 502 may be performed first.
Step 503, the sending device determines the sending start time of the data to be sent according to the wakeup signal.
Step 504, the receiving device determines a detection start time according to the wakeup signal.
Step 503 and step 504 may be executed at the same time or at different times. When step 503 is not executed at the same time as step 504, step 503 may be executed first, or step 504 may be executed first.
Step 505, the sending device performs scattering processing on the excitation signal sent by the base station according to a kth bit value in the data to be sent in a kth sending time interval from the sending start time, where the scattering processing is to scatter the excitation signal sent by the base station or not to scatter the excitation signal, k is 1,2, … … n, and n is the number of bits included in the data to be sent.
Step 506, the receiving device sequentially determines an energy value of a signal received in each detection time interval from the detection start time, and determines a bit value according to each energy value, where the signal is an excitation signal sent by the base station or a combination of the excitation signal and a scattering signal, and the scattering signal is a signal generated after the transmitting device scatters the excitation signal.
It should be noted that the receiving device may start receiving the signal from before step 505 and calculate the energy value of the received signal.
Step 507, when the receiving device obtains p continuous bit values same as a preset preamble and obtains q continuous bit values same as preset address information within a first preset time period after obtaining the p bit values, determining target data, where the target data includes the p bit values, the q bit values, and s continuous bit values after the q bit values, where p, q, and s are positive integers.
