Abstract
Backscatter Device (BKD) placement and placement calibration may be provided. A plurality of ambient energy sources in a Three-Dimensional (3D) space may be identified and mapped. Each of the plurality of ambient energy sources may be categorized as one of the following: a stationary and controllable ambient energy source, a stationary and uncontrollable ambient energy source, and a mobile ambient energy source. An amount of ambient energy available at each of a plurality of sub-spaces of the 3D space may be determined. The amount of ambient energy available at each of the plurality of sub-spaces may be determined by determining a first amount of ambient energy that is continuously available and a second amount of ambient energy that is likely available at each of the plurality of sub-spaces of the 3D space.
