Message-Passing Receiver Design for Multiuser Multi-Backscatter-Device Symbiotic Radio Communications

Symbiotic radio (SR) has emerged as a spectrum and energy-efficient communication paradigm for future passive Internet-of-Things (IoT). In this paper, we consider a multiuser multi- backscatter-device (BD) SR communication system to enhance the spectrum efficiency, by sharing a common time-frequency resource block. Due to the presence of inter-user and inter-BD interference, multiuser and multi-BD detection in the receiver design become much more challenging. Concretely, the detection problem involves several key components: direct-link channel estimation, backscatter-link channel estimation, user signal decoding, and BD symbol detection. A conventional way is to realise these components in two separate phases, in which a channel estimation phase is followed by a data decoding phase. However, channel state information (CSI) acquisition is very difficult for the multiuser multi-BD SR communication, as compared to the case of orthogonal multiple access. In addition, the backscatter-link is relatively weak, which further increases the difficulty of CSI acquisition. To address these issues, we propose a novel receiver design to perform joint channel estimation, user data decoding, and BD symbol detection. Based on the factor graph representation of the joint estimation problem, we design a message-passing receiver for the multiuser multi-BD SR system to iteratively refine the estimation outputs. Extensive simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed receiver design.
