Abstract
Optimized backscatter energy harvesting using a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) may be provided. Energy parameters may be received from a backscatter communication device. Then an energy critical message may be received from the backscatter communication device. The backscatter communication device may then be instructed to send frequent messages in response to receiving the energy critical message from the backscatter communication device. Next, a configuration for a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) cluster may be determined to supply energy to the backscatter communication device based on the energy parameters and the frequent messages. The RIS may be caused to supply energy to the backscatter communication device based on the configuration.
