Over recent years, research has continued on the subject of Ambient Backscatter Communication (AmBC), owing to the low-power, passive nature of this technology. It shows great promise for the growing networks of the Internet of Things (IoT), which now include billions of devices. Despite the potential, AmBC system applications are still limited by low data rates and short range. To help overcome these challenges, Intelligent Reflective Surfaces (IRS) have been suggested as a means to improve the quality of the backscattered signal. This paper investigates the effect of integrating IRS with an AmBC system to enhance the quality of the backscattered signal. The simulation results show that the implementation of IRS significantly improves the bit error rate (BER), as well as the received signal power. These findings suggest that IRS shows promise for scalable and robust AmBC networks. © 2025 IEEE.
