This invention relates to a commercially compatible and flexibly deployable OFDM
backscatter communication method and
system, belonging to the field of
wireless communication. This invention enables nodes to perform
backscatter communication without deploying synchronization modules, transmitting their own information to a commercial OFDM
receiver with low
power consumption, thus avoiding the limitation of
node deployment range imposed by the sensitivity of synchronization modules. This invention uses a single-
carrier signal from the environment as the
excitation signal and transmits node information to the OFDM
receiver through low-power cross-
system conversion from single-carrier to multi-carrier. For the incident single-carrier
excitation signal, the node performs low-power replication and shifting of the
signal's spectrum during reflection, converting it into an OFDM reflected
signal with multi-carrier characteristics. Since the node does not need to synchronize with the
excitation signal before reflection, this invention significantly increases the effective operating
radius of the backscattering node and enhances
node deployment flexibility. Simultaneously, because the node achieves cross-
system conversion from single-carrier to multi-carrier OFDM signals, it also possesses the
advantage of commercial compatibility.
