Our solution, WiWear, has two key innovations: 1) beamforming WiFi transmissions to significantly boost the energy that a receiver can harvest ~2-3 meters away, and 2) smart zero-energy, triggering of inertial sensing, that allows intelligent duty-cycled operation of devices whose transient power consumption far exceeds what can be instantaneously harvested.
To improve signal-to-noise-plus-interference-ratio, interference can be mitigated using advanced receivers like an interference rejection combining (IRC) receiver.
In this way, it is possible to increase the signal strength at the receiver.
For home and work environments, aggressive WiFi scans can significantly improve the speed at which mobile nodes join the WiFi network.
It is shown both by theory and computer simulations that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver.
In the additive white Gaussian noise channel, our proposed receiver provides 3 dB signal-to-noise ratio gain over the conventional receiver, and the performance gain can be more than 3 dB in frequency selective channels.

It enhances both WiFi signal and low-power IoT devices without changing their configurations or network protocols.
However, the multi-path fading of WiFi signals causes time-varying received signal strengths of WiFi signals, which leads to poor accuracy of WiFi localization.

Specifically, we show that it is possible to design devices and WiFi APs such that the WiFi AP in the process of transmitting data to normal WiFi clients can decode backscatter signals which the devices generate by modulating information on to the ambient WiFi transmission.
