Current solutions generally provide preliminary reference points for time alignment. inserting explicit synchronization mechanisms such as pilot signals or training sequences They rely on efficiency. Although effective, these methods consume additional bandwidth and increase the signal load. increases and may not be suitable for ultra-low power consuming or passive devices in the receiver. Requires additional processing steps. 25 Other approaches involve revealing inconsistent sensing or statistical signal processing techniques. It attempts to reduce or eliminate synchronization. However, these methods introduce noise, It can be sensitive to multipath damping and dynamic channel conditions, which is impractical. This can lead to reduced reliability in applications. 30 With the emergence of 5G and beyond, the world of communications has undergone a significant transformation. The focus has shifted from simply achieving high data rates to large-scale machine-to-machine communication. applications and uses such as (mMTC) and extremely low power communication (ELPC) It has shifted to meet the diverse demands of scenarios (UCs) [1]. Internet of Things 35 2 (IoT) is the long-term, widespread solution necessary for the realization of smart cities and smart homes. By enabling the connection, IoT devices play a very important role in this transition [2]. However, IoT devices Large-scale integration is limited due to the short lifespan of its batteries, which reduces energy consumption. This raises concerns about efficiency and operational costs [3]. To overcome these limitations, an extremely low power consumption and simple RF design was used. Backscatter communication (BC) has emerged as an innovative solution for presenting information [4]. BC provides information It achieves this by reflecting and modulating existing RF signals in order to encode them, thus This method eliminates the need to generate new carrier signals [5]. This method reduces energy usage. By reducing spectral efficiency (SE) while increasing it, 10 energy-efficient and sustainable IoT devices It enables its development [6]. BC is a key feature, especially for 6th generation (6G) Radio Access Networks (RANs). Positioning via expected ambient backscattering communication (AmBC) It also stands out in applications [7]. For communication and location determination, the same 15 By sharing time-frequency (TF) resources, mobile terminals (MTs) can effectively It is traceable. This dual functionality supports target tracking and location-based awareness. Classical localization methods enable the use of LBAS services [8]. It relies on at least three fixed base stations (BSs) for proper positioning [9]. However, The inclusion of backscattering devices (BDs) in a medium along with a single BS was groundbreaking, 20 It offers a low-cost and energy-efficient alternative for location determination. However, BC encounters some challenges when implemented in the real world. Successful modulation For this, aligning the label data with the boundaries of the incoming signal frame is crucial. In practical scenarios, the label is often unaware of these limits, which is why 25 This leads to alignment errors, data collisions, and intersymbol noise (ISI). As a result, the bit error rate (BER) increases. Also, to ensure synchronization in BDs... Additional hardware components are usually required, which makes them cost-effective and low-power. This contradicts the fact that they are designed as devices. Generally, the complexity of existing techniques, energy cost, or bandwidth are the factors. Synchronization that maintains robust performance without bringing about its disadvantages. There will continue to be a need for communication methods that do not require such methods. 3 All the problems and limitations mentioned above are a consequence of the relevant technology. This has made it necessary to create an innovation in the field.

It is about a method to bring advantages. The invention provides a non-cyclical solution for asynchronous backscattering / medium-to-IoT communication. It relates to a method for modulation based on equivalent sequences. 10 This statement explains how the medium will not require synchronization between the transmitter and the label. It presents a general scheme for generating different modulations for backscattering. This It is obtained by using non-cyclic equivalent sequences. The modulation described actually alleviates the need for strict time synchronization, However, this is the case in all other sequences except for complex exponential functions. There are several equivalent sequences that are not cyclical. This reduces the backscatter communication speed. However, since backscatter communication is slow, this problem can be ignored. The biggest advantage is that it eliminates the need for time synchronization between the transmitter and the label. By eliminating them, it reduces complexity and cost. One aim of the invention is to achieve time synchronization between the transmitter and the medium backscattering. to solve. 25 The described method offers significant advantages for medium backscattering communication: 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This detailed explanation is provided solely to make the subject more understandable. The topic is explained with references to examples without imposing any restrictive effects. 15 All objectives stated above and those that will emerge from the detailed explanation below The aim is to achieve this. The current description allows for medium synchronization without requiring time synchronization between the transmitter and the label. It presents methods for achieving backscatter modulation. 20 This statement explains how the medium will not require synchronization between the transmitter and the label. It presents a general scheme for generating different modulations for backscattering. This It is obtained by using non-cyclic equivalent sequences. The current description describes a cyclical 25 for asynchronous backscattering / medium-to-IoT communication. It offers a method for modulation based on non-equivalent sequences, the method This includes the following: ∑ Generating asynchronous signals via a medium backscattering tag, ∑ The transmission of a signal through a transmitter (Tx), 30 ∑ without performing synchronization, the medium backscatter tag from the air modulating the modulated signal, ∑ provides asynchronous backscattering communication via a transmitter (Tx). Transmission of non-cyclic equivalent sequences ( ). (This transmitter transmits its own signal The medium transmits to a specific receiver, independent of IoT. 35 6 ∑ Ambient IoT takes this existing signal and embeds some information into it in real time. It uses modulation to communicate with another receiver (reader). ∑ Ambient IoT is an interference system that uses the existing RF signal to transmit its own data. (like) In this approach, a transmitter (Tx) modulates the medium from the air via a backscattering tag. It sends a signal. The tag modulates the antenna impedance, thereby changing the reflection coefficient and the existing RF. It writes data to the carrier. 10 Examples of a transmitter (Tx) include wireless devices such as a gNB or a user terminal (UT). Transmission / reception units (WTRUs) are present. Media backscattering tags are active, semi-active or It could be a passive label. To enable asynchronous backscattering communication, Tx is cyclical. It passes non-equivalent sequences ( ). This condition can be expressed as follows: Here, is the sequence length, and modulo represents . Frequency representation of time series . and . respectively. When this happens, in order for these to be non-cyclic equivalents, the following should be included: They must comply with the restrictions. Here, it represents multiplication on an element-by-element basis. The core concept behind synchronizing free signal generation is cyclical. The goal is to select non-equivalent orthogonal sequences. Walsh-Hadamard codes include those containing 1 and -1. It is one example, but it can be generalized to all arrays. Examples of these sequences include complex exponents: 30 Examples of these sequences that use Walsh-Hadamard sequences include every N orthogonal For Walsh code (1,-1), non-cyclic equivalent codes 7 The sequences for are shown in Figure 1. These are the non-cyclic equivalents. It should be noted that each code represents only one combination. Example: Walsh codes are mutually orthogonal to all other rows / columns. Thus, the 4 sequences are as follows: 5 Implementation of 4x4Walsh–Hadamard Codes The cyclic equivalence between c1, c2, c3, and c4 is checked: ∑ c_1 = [1,1,1,1] 15 ∑ Any cyclic shift is still [1,1,1,1]. ∑ → Only 1 unique sequence. ∑ c2=[1,−1,1,−1] ∑ Shifts: [−1,1,−1,1][-1,1,-1,1] etc. ∑ → Only 2 unique sequences (repeats after 2 shifts). 20 ∑ c3=[1,1,−1,−1] Shifts: [1,−1,−1,1][1,-1,-1,1], [−1,1,1,−1]. → 4 unique cyclical versions. ∑ c4=[1,−1,−1,1] Shifts: [−1,−1,1,1], [−1,1,1,−1], [1,1,−1,−1]. 25 → It should be noted that these are precisely the shifts of c3. Like this: ∑ c3 and c4 are cyclically equivalent. ∑ c1 is unique on its own. ∑ c2 is unique on its own. 30 For asynchronous medium backscatter communication, only c1, c2 and c3 or c1, It is necessary to use c2 and c4. 8 REFERENCES [1] MSJ Solaija, SE Zegrar, and H.
