Ambient backscatter communications have been identified for ultra-low energy wireless communications. Indeed, a tag can send a message to a reader without emitting any wave and without battery, simply by backscattering the waves generated…

We consider a fading point-to-point link with packets arriving randomly at rate $\lambda$ per slot to the transmitter queue. We assume that the transmitter can control the number of packets served in a slot by varying the transmit power for…
