Direct Link Interference Suppression for Bistatic Backscatter Communication in Distributed MIMO

Backscatter communication (BC) is a promising technique for future Internet-of-Things (IoT) owing to its low complexity, low cost, and potential for energy-efficient operation in sensor networks. There are several network infrastructure setups that can be used for BC with IoT nodes. One of them is the bistatic setup where typically there is a need for high dynamic range and high-resolution analog-to-digital converters at the reader. In this paper, we investigate a bistatic BC setup with multiple antennas. We propose a novel transmission scheme, which includes a protocol for channel estimation at the carrier emitter (CE) as well as a transmit beamformer construction that suppresses the direct link interference between the two ends of a bistatic link (namely CE and reader), and increases the detection performance of the backscatter device (BD) symbol. Further, we derive a generalized log-likelihood ratio test (GLRT) to detect the symbol/presence of the BD. We also provide an iterative algorithm to estimate the unknown parameters in the GLRT. Finally, simulation results show that the required dynamic range of the system is significantly decreased, and the detection performance of the BD symbol is increased, by the proposed algorithm compared to a system not using beamforming at the CE.
