This invention discloses a UAV
backscatter communication method and related device based on the integration of sensing, communication, and energy. The invention uses a UAV equipped with a uniform
planar array antenna as a dual-function access point in the air, transmitting communication and sensing multiplexed signals to ground-based IoT devices and potential sensing targets. Ground-based IoT devices can choose to collect energy from the
signal or modulate their own information onto the transmitted
signal and reflect it back to the UAV, thereby completing energy transmission and information collection tasks respectively. By using an alternating optimization
algorithm to optimize the UAV's flexible mobility,
beamforming spatial control capabilities, and device scheduling capabilities, the average total
throughput of the device
backscatter return link can be maximized while meeting the sensing performance and energy collection requirements of IoT devices. This achieves deep
synergy between sensing, communication, and
energy supply, thereby realizing resource reuse and
transmission performance balance across multiple tasks.
