Beamforming and RIS-Aided Ambient Backscatter Communications with Residual-Feature SVM Detection

Aobakwe Makgarapa, Burhan Wafai, Sangarapillai Lambotharan +1

Ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) enables battery-free connectivity by modulating data onto existing radio-frequency (RF) signals, eliminating the need for dedicated power s…

Secrecy Analysis of CSI Ratio-Based Transmitter Selection with Unreliable Backhaul

Burhan Wafai, Ankit Dubey, Chinmoy Kundu

This paper explores the secrecy performance of a multi-transmitter system with unreliable backhaul links. To improve secrecy, we propose a novel transmitter selection (TS) scheme t…
