Abstract
Method, apparatus, and device for communicating with an extended range. The apparatus is a network apparatus communicating an ambient internet of things device having an energy storage and capability to transmitting data by backscattering a radio transmission. The apparatus detects that the device has failed to transfer data by the backscattering and responsively sends to the device a first radio transmission having instructions to decrease a radio reflection coefficient to increase wireless energy harvesting. The device decreases the radio reflection coefficient accordingly. The apparatus further sends to the device a second radio transmission having instructions to increase the radio reflection coefficient to decrease wireless energy harvesting. The device increases the radio reflection coefficient accordingly. The apparatus attempts to detect that the device has succeeded to transfer data by the backscattering.
