The Proliferation of connected and embedded devices has played a critical role in the development of next generation Internet of Things (IoT), and consequently, the diffusion of low power networks. The sustainability of such networks entails energy aware devices that are capable of self-sustainable operations by harvesting and recycling energy from various sources. Accordingly, integration of wireless-powered networks (WPN) with ambient backscatter communications (AmBC), in which a backscatter transmitter conveys data to a destination by backscattering ambient signals, has recently emerged as a promising key technology for low power wireless networks. However, these technologies are not optimized and/or designed for large-scale networks and a massive number of IoT devices.

客座社论：关于具有反向散射通信的大规模无线供电网络的特刊


连接和嵌入式设备的激增在下一代物联网 (IoT) 的发展以及低功耗网络的普及中发挥了关键作用。这种网络的可持续性需要能源感知设备，这些设备能够通过从各种来源收集和回收能源来实现自我可持续运行。因此，无线供电网络（WPN）与环境反向散射通信（AmBC）的集成，其中反向散射发射器通过反向散射环境信号将数据传送到目的地，最近已成为低功耗无线网络的一项有前景的关键技术。然而，这些技术并未针对大规模网络和大量物联网设备进行优化和/或设计。
