Ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) has emerged as a promising paradigm for enabling sustainable low-power operation of Internet of Things devices. This is due to its ability to enable sensing and communication through backscattering ambient wireless signals (e.g., WiFi and TV sig-nals). But a...
