Abstract

A method for selection by an ambient backscatter system including a source as well as transmitting and receiving devices, the source being associated with a precoder for focusing signals towards the devices. Furthermore, the method includes, for a plurality of values ϕ_1, . . . , ϕ_N: a phase-shift, by the source, of one of the components of the precoder according to the value ϕ_i, so as to obtain a precoder Q_i; an emission, by the source, using the precoder Q_i; an acquisition, by the receiving device, of power measurements during non-backscattering and backscattering states, a determination, by the receiving device, of a value D1_i representative of a power deviation between the measurements. The method also includes a selection, by the receiving device, of a maximum value among the values D1_1, . . . , D1_N.
