Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new full-duplex wireless communication system, named ReflectFX, that relies on backscatter modulation. This paper offers a new concept for two-way wireless communication: rather than avoiding self-interference as in half-duplex, or combatting self-interference as in conventional full-duplex, nodes will re-use the received interfering radio-carrier waves to transfer information. The electromagnetic waves are modulated and reflected by the same antenna that receives them. We consider two nodes, a base-station and an end-user, that wish to exchange data over a wireless Rayleigh fading channel with additive white Gaussian noise. With ReflectFX, the end-user receives a self-interference free signal. We improve the transmission range of ReflectFX by adding negative resistance to the end-user load. We derive an expression for the overall achievable throughput and ergodic capacity of ReflectFX. Simulation results show that ReflectFX outperforms both conventional full-duplex and half-duplex.
