Abstract
- In 5G massive machine-type communication (mMTC), power-limited or battery-free parasite devices such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, can use the transmitted signals from host devices as ambient signals for backscatter communications to send information to a base station (BS). Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be employed as host devices to help transmissions of parasite devices due to the advantages of high mobility and low operating cost. In this paper, we propose a signal detection approach based on the central limit theorem to detect the presence of parasite devices and separate parasite signals from host signals. Then, closed-form expressions for the probability of error detection and the bit error rate (BER) are derived. Moreover, the trajectory planning of multiple UAVs is optimized with the consideration of minimizing the energy consumption of UAV swarms to serve parasite devices. Theoretical and simulation results show that our proposed method provides good detection performance for parasite devices. It also shows that the trajectory planning of multiple UAVs is optimized.
