Abstract
Ambient backscatter technology that utilizes the ambient radio frequency signals to enable the communications of battery-free devices has attracted much attention recently. In this paper, we study the problem of signal detection for an ambient backscatter communication system that adopts the differential encoding to eliminate the necessity of channel estimation. Specifically, we formulate a new transmission model, design the data detection algorithm, and derive two closed-form detection thresholds. One threshold is used to approximately achieve the minimum sum bit error rate (BER), while the other yields balanced error probabilities for “0” bit and “1” bit. The corresponding BER expressions are derived to fully characterize the detection performance. In addition, the lower and the upper bounds of BER at high signal-to-noise ratio regions are also examined to simplify a performance analysis. Simulation results are then provided to corroborate the theoretical studies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
