MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647058911 A) filed by Nokia Technologies Oy on May 08, 2026, for Ambient Backscatter Communication.
Inventors include Wang, Yonggang; Mangalvedhe, Nitin; Tayyab, Muhammad; and Butt, Muhammad Majid.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer readable storage media for ambident backscatter communication. A first apparatus transmits, to a second apparatus served by the first apparatus, scheduling information comprising at least backscattering information for a third apparatus. The third apparatus is to be activated by the first apparatus for backscattering transmission. The first apparatus transmits, based on the scheduling information, an activation signal to the third apparatus, the activation signal comprising a downlink transmission signal to the second apparatus and a query indication for the backscattering transmission over the downlink transmission signal. In this way, time-frequency resources for DL transmissions can be reused for backscattering transmissions by ambient IoT devices, thus avoiding transmitting separate illumination signals for the ambient IoT devices and improving the network energy saving.
