[Abstract]

Massive connectivity is key to the success of the Internet of Things. In this talk, I will introduce the technology of mmWave backscatter that has the potential to scale to millions of connections. Specifically, I will discuss our latest work that overcomes the substantial signal attenuation and overwhelming ambient reflections to bring mmWave backscatter to practice. The technique offers an extreme sensitivity of -115 dBm, boosts the SNR by over five orders of magnitude, and scales up to millions of concurrent connections without coordination — paving a pathway towards the vision of massive IoT and hyperconnectivity. Beyond communication, I will briefly talk about localization via mmWave backscatter, where I will demonstrate the fine-grained sub-centimeter positioning (6.7mm median accuracy) ranges up to 160m, tracks mobile objects, and simultaneously localizes 100 devices in only 732ms.
