| contents | In conventional backscatter communication (BackCom) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) and frequency division multiple access (FDMA) are generally adopted for multiuser backscattering due to their simplicity in implementation. However, as the number of backscatter devices (BDs) proliferates, there will be a high overhead under the traditional centralized control techniques, and the inter-user coordination is unaffordable for the passive BDs, which are of scarce concern in existing works and remain unsolved. To this end, in this paper, we propose a slotted ALOHA-based random access for BackCom systems, in which each BD is randomly chosen and is allowed to coexist with one active device for hybrid multiple access. To excavate and evaluate the performance, a resource allocation problem for max-min transmission rate is formulated, where transmit antenna selection, receive beamforming design, reflection coefficient adjustment, power control, and access probability determination are jointly considered. To deal with this intractable problem, we first transform the objective function with the max-min form into an equivalent linear one, and then decompose the resulting problem into three sub-problems. Next, a block coordinate descent (BCD)-based greedy algorithm with a penalty function, successive convex approximation, and linear programming are designed to obtain sub-optimal solutions for tractable analysis. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms benchmark algorithms in terms of transmission rate and fairness. |
