Abstract: A modulation scheme conversion device includes: a backscattering tag to which a tag signal is provided; and a tag signal forming unit for forming a tag signal. The modulation scheme conversion device multiplies a radio signal, which has been modulated in a first modulation scheme, and a tag signal, and reconfigures the multiplied signal by using a second modulation scheme, so as to backscatter the reconfigured signal, wherein the reconfiguration is performed in a physical (PHY) layer.

Abstract: Techniques and systems that improve throughput between a pair of nodes by using two multi-hop paths of one-way flows regardless of the one-way flows interfering with each other are described herein. These techniques enable nearly full-rate data flow through frame transmissions, even though these frame transmissions can interfere with substantially concurrent relay transmissions. In some implementations, relays on the two paths forward mixed frame signals to the next hop without trying to decode the mixed frame signals of interfered frames. The destination successfully recovers the useful information from the mixed frame signals by canceling out interference based on previously received frames.
