Performance of Ambient Backscatter Systems Using Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface

Outage Analysis of Ambient Backscatter Communication Systems

This paper addresses the problem of outage characterization of an ambient backscatter communication system with a pair of passive tag and reader. In particular, an exact expression for the effective channel distribution is derived. Then, the outage probability at the reader is analyzed rigorously. Since the expression contains an infinite sum, a tight truncation error bound has been derived to ...

Embodied Ambient Intelligent Systems

The information and communication technology (ICT) we interact with in daily life is more and more distributed in the environment (the so called intelligent space). Most of these devices have increasing calculation capacity and therefore the potential to contribute to an overall distributed calculation power and therefor a processing intelligence. These so called intelligent nodes can for examp...

Ambient Intelligent ( AmI ) Systems Development

This chapter introduces the concept of ambient intelligence (AmI), a new concept in the area of information and communication technology (ICT), from a systems development perspective in the manufacturing environment. To create an AmI environment, requires the use of a combination of technologies. The AmI environment can be enabled through the use of computers that are embedded into everyday obj...

Optimizing Building's Environments Performance Using Intelligent Systems

This article describes an intelligent system architecture that based on neural networks, expert systems and negotiating agents technologies is designed to optimize intelligent building’s performance. By understanding a building as a dynamic entity capable of adapting itself not only to changing environmental conditions but also to occupant’s living habits, high standards of comfort and user sat...
