Abstract:

With the development of Internet of things (IoT) technology, wireless networks have the characteristics of massive user access, high power consumption, and high capacity requirements.In order to meet the transmission requirements and reduce energy consumption, backscatter communication technology was considered to be one of the most effective solutions to the above problems.In the fact of complex network scenarios, the improvement of spectrum efficiency, system capacity, and energy management has become an urgent problem of resource allocation areas in backscatter communications.For this problem, resource allocation algorithms in backscatter communications were surveyed.Firstly, the basic concept and different network architectures of backscatter communication were introduced.Then, resource allocation algorithms in backscatter communication networks were analyzed according to different network types, optimization objectives, and the number of antennas.Finally, the challenges and future research trends of resource allocation problems in backscatter communication networks were prospected.

Key words: wireless communications, backscatter communication, spectrum efficiency, resource allocation
