Abstract
Wirelessly powered backscatter communication (WP-BackCom) enables battery-free Internet of Things (IoT) nodes to passively modulate and backscatter information on the energy signals transmitted by power beacons (PBs) and to harvest energy for realizing energy self-sustainability. It has been deemed a promising solution for the large-scale deployment of IoT nodes. In this paper, we exploit stochastic geometry (SG) to develop a tractable framework to evaluate the successful transmission probability in WP-BackCom while considering the imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) at each gateway (GW) and the non-linear energy harvesting (EH) model and energy-causality constraint at each backscatter user (BU). The successful transmission probability is defined as the probability for the event that not only the BU can harvest sufficient power from PBs for sustaining its operation but also the backscattered information can be successfully decoded by the GW. We derive the active probability into a closed form and then obtain the successful transmission probability based on the random spectrum access (RSA) policy. The closed-form expression for the successful transmission probability is derived under three special cases. We also devise a closed-form expression for the sub-optimal reflection coefficient to obtain a sub-optimal successful transmission probability. The analysis reveals that the sub-optimal reflection coefficient increases with the SIC coefficient. Numerical simulations validate the correctness of the above theoretical derivations and examine the impacts of various parameters on the successful transmission probability.
