Popis: Considering the exponential growth of Internet-of-Things devices and the goals toward sustainable networks, the complexity should be focused on the infrastructure side. For a massive number of passive devices, backscatter communication (BC) is a promising technology that reduces cost and increases energy efficiency by enabling transmitting information by backscattering radio frequency signals. Two main limitations that restrict the performance of BC are the round-trip path loss effect and the direct link interference (DLI) from the carrier emitter (CE). To circumvent this, we propose a novel transmit beamforming design for a multiple antenna bistatic BC (BiBC) system that realizes both purposes: mitigation of the DLI and increasing the power towards the backscatter device (BD). Additionally, we provide a detector design and the performance is evaluated in terms of the probability of error, for which we also provide a closed-form expression. Finally, simulation results show the superiority of the proposed beamforming design in decreasing DLI over a benchmark scenario that considers maximum-ratio transmission.
