Abstract: This disclosure presents enhanced wireless communication in an A-IoT system using frequency hopping mechanisms for FL data, FL CW, and BL data. Various configurations for frequency hopping patterns and trigger events are provided. The relationship between FL data subchannels, FL CW subchannels, and BL data subchannels offers flexibility and efficiency in communication between the RF source, ambient IoT devices, and RF readers. The RF source sends FL data and FL CW with frequency hopping patterns and configures ambient IoT devices to send BL data with frequency hopping patterns. The RF reader obtains BL data from the ambient IoT device, with the BL data configured to frequency hop according to a BL frequency hopping pattern or the FL CW frequency hopping pattern. The ambient IoT device obtains the FL CW modulated with FL data and sends BL data in response, with the BL data configured to frequency hop.
