Enhancement and Evaluation of MOXcatter

Backscatter WiFi provides a novel solution to IoT device's energy consumption. Different from other backscatter WiFi solutions, MOXcatter works with multiple spatial streams, making it appliable in 802.11n and beyond. In this paper, we present a method to solve the problem of phase ambiguity in MOXcatter due to the deviation of packet offset measurement. The experiments show that by changing the modulation method from BPSK to DBPSK, MOXcatter achieves up to 10 dB gain in BER. We evaluate its performance and discuss possible enhancements and applications.
