The WiFi backscatter communications offer ultralow power and ubiquitous connections for IoT systems. Caused by the intermittent-nature of the WiFi traffics, state-of-the-art WiFi backscatter communications are not reliable for backscatter link or simple for the tag to do the adaptive transmission. In order to build reliable WiFi backscatter communications, we present GuardRider, a WiFi backscatter system that enables backscatter communications to improve the quality of service (QoS). The key contribution of GuardRider is an optimization algorithm of designing RS codes to follow the statistical knowledge of WiFi traffics and adjust backscatter transmission. With GuardRider, the reliable baskscatter link is guaranteed and a backscatter tag is able to adaptively transmit information without heavily listening to the excitation channel, by taking QoS into account. We built a hardware prototype of GuardRider using a …
