Parasitic communication protocol for radio-frequency wireless power transmission (TA 15)

This standard defines procedures for transferring power to non-powered IoT devices using the existing ISM band communication infrastructure and RF WPT and a protocol for a two-way, long-distance wireless network in which IoT devices and APs communicate using backscatter modulation of ISM-band signals. Three components are required for two-way, long-distance wireless communication using backscatter modulation of ISM-band signals: an STA that transmits wireless power and data packets to SSNs by forming ISM-band signal channels between HIE-APs, a batteryless SSN that changes the sensitivity of the channel signals received from the STA using backscatter modulation, and an HIE-AP that practically decodes the channel signals whose sensitivity was changed by the SSN. In this standard, the procedures for CW-type RF WPT using communication among these three components are specified based on application of the CSI or RSSI detection method of ISM-band communication.
This standard proposes a convergence communication protocol than can deploy sensors, which can operate at low power (dozens of microwatts or less) without batteries, collect energy, and perform communication, to transmit power to SSNs using RF WPT based on parasitic communication. This method can be applied to application service areas such as domestic IoT, the micro-sensor industry, and industries related to environmental monitoring in the future

133 FOREWORD

134 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national

135 electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all

136 questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC

137 publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and

138 Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC

139 National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental

140 and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the

141 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two

142 organizations.

143 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of

144 opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National

145 Committees.

146 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in

147 that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC

148 cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.

149 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to

150 the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the

151 corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

152 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment

153 services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by

154 independent certification bodies.

155 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

191 existing ISM band communication infrastructure and RF WPT and a protocol for a two-way,

192 long-distance wireless network in which IoT devices and APs communicate using backscatter

193 modulation of ISM-band signals. Three components are required for two-way, long-distance

194 wireless communication using backscatter modulation of ISM-band signals: an STA that

195 transmits wireless power and data packets to SSNs by forming ISM-band signal channels

196 between HIE-APs, a batteryless SSN that changes the sensitivity of the channel signals

197 received from the STA using backscatter modulation, and an HIE-AP that practically decodes

198 the channel signals whose sensitivity was changed by the SSN. In this standard, the

199 procedures for CW-type RF WPT using communication among these three components are

200 specified based on application of the CSI or RSSI detection method of ISM-band

201 communication.

202 This standard proposes a convergence communication protocol than can deploy sensors,

203 which can operate at low power (dozens of microwatts or less) without batteries, collect

204 energy, and perform communication, to transmit power to SSNs using RF WPT based on

205 parasitic communication. This method can be applied to application service areas such as

309 4. Overview

310 RF WPT includes WPT using energy harvesting, magnetic induction, or magnetic resonant

311 methods and involves the wireless transmission of power to sensors and facilities for practical

312 use by employing RF waves. This standard proposes a method of performing RF WPT to

313 batteryless sensors or facilities. The overall structure of parasitic communication for RF WPT

314 proposed in this standard is depicted in figure 1. Parasitic communication (or Ambient

315 backscatter) uses existing radio frequency signals, such as radio, television and mobile

316 telephony, to transmit data without a battery or power grid connection. Each such device uses

317 an antenna to pick up an existing signal and convert it into tens to hundreds of microwatts of

318 electricity. This standard defines procedures for bi-directional, long-distance wireless

319 communication protocol for communication using backscatter modulation of industrial,

320 scientific, and medical (ISM)-band frequency signals between stations (STA) and smart

321 sensor nodes (SSNs), such as IoT devices, sensors, tags, and wearable devices, and for RF

322 WPT from a hybrid information and energy access point (HIE-AP) to nearby SSNs.

323
324 Figure 1 — Example/Application Usage of RF-WPT
325

326 Three components are required for the bi-directional, long-distance wireless communication

327 protocol using backscatter modulation of ISM-band signals as shown in figure 2:

328

329  STA: performing communication by occupying a communication channel and transmits

330 wireless power and data packets for communication to the SSN in the PIE method.

331  HIE-AP: decoding the channel signals whose sensitivity was changed by the SSN into

332 digital signals of 0 or 1. It forms a channel with the STA for communication, detects

333 the CSI level of the response from the SSN that used backscatter, and transmits the

334 response data from the SSN to the STA. It also transmits CW-type power to the SSN

335 for RF WPT.

336  SSN: changing the sensitivity of the channel signals received from the STA using

337 backscatter modulation and consists of a BCU, an SSU, and a BU.
338  BCU: responding to a command from an STA with backscatter through load
339 modulation and can respond with backscatter using the wireless power
340 transmitted by the STA.

341  SSU: various sensors that can be attached to the SSN, each of which requires a

342 different amount of power.

343  BU: a battery or a circuit capable of receiving wireless power to support the

344 operation of nodes and sensors.

347 Figure 2 — RF-WPT structure of using parasitic Wi-Fi communication technology

348 RF power is first transmitted from the STA to the SSN to drive the BCU of the SSN, to

349 summarize the operation process. Then, the SSN sends its data for the STA to the channel

350 formed between the STA and HIE-AP by changing its load, and the HIE-AP can receive data

351 from the SSN by decoding the CSI level of the information sent from the SSN. The information

352 sent from the SSN includes ID information, battery information, and sensor data. The STA

353 sends wireless power to the HIE-AP. The HIE-AP performs and controls RF WPT in real time

354 based on the information received from the SSN on battery, voltage of the SSN itself, and

355 remaining battery l
