With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), short packet transmissions will dominate the future wireless communication. However, traditional coherent demodulation and channel estimation schemes require large pilot overhead, which may be highly inefficient for short packets in multipath fading scenarios. This paper proposes a novel pilot-free short packet structure based on the association of modulation on conjugate-reciprocal zeros (MOCZ) and tail-biting convolutional codes (TBCC), where a noncoherent demodulation and decoding scheme is designed without the channel state information (CSI) at the transceivers. We provide a construction method of constellation sets and demodulation rule for M-ary MOCZ. By deriving low complexity log-likelihood ratios (LLR) for M-ary MOCZ, we offer a reasonable balance between energy and bandwidth efficiency for joint coding and modulation scheme. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme can attain significant performance and throughput gains compared to the pilot-based coherent modulation scheme over multipath fading channels.

Crowdsensing-based spectrum detection (CSD) is promising to enable full-coverage radio resource availability for the increasingly connected machines in the Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The current CSD scheme consumes a lot of energy and network resources for local sensing, processing, and distributed data reporting for each crowdsensing device. Furthermore, when the amount of reported data is large, the data fusion implemented at the requestor can easily cause high latency. For improving efficiencies in both energy and network resources, this paper proposes a green CSD (GCSD) paradigm. The ambient backscatter (AmB) is used to enable a battery-free mode of operation in which the received spectrum data is reported directly through backscattering without local processing. The energy for backscattering can be provided by ambient radio frequency (RF) sources. Then, relying on air computation (AirComp), the data fusion can be implemented during the backscattering process and over the air by utilizing the summation property of wireless channel. This paper illustrates the model and the implementation process of the GCSD paradigm. Closed-form expressions of detection metrics are derived for the proposed GCSD. Simulation results verify the correctness of the theoretical derivation and demonstrate the green properties of the GCSD paradigm.
