As the manufacturing industry becomes more and more automated, IoT sensors are also being widely deployed inside industrial buildings. Given the significant cost associated with retrofitting an industrial building, a wired network for IoT installation might not be desirable. On the other hand, long-range wireless networks are either power-hungry (e.g., Wi-Fi or cellular), or support only a low data rate (e.g., LoRa). In this paper, we explore an alternative approach: leveraging the power line infrastructure to enable building-scale wireless backscatter communication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3583571.3583577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,4]],"date-time":"2023-02-04T05:05:22Z","timestamp":1675487122000},"page":"19-22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["PLatter"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Junbo","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elahe","family":"Soltanaghai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Artur","family":"Balanuta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Reese","family":"Grimsley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Swarun","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Rowe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 16th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '19)","author":"Wang Jingxian","year":"2019","unstructured":"Jingxian Wang , Junbo Zhang , Rajarshi Saha , Haojian Jin , and Swarun Kumar . 2019 .
