description Indoor Internet of Things (IoT) is considered as a crucial component of Industry 4.0, enabling devices and machine to communicate and share sensed data leading to increased efficiency, productivity, and automation. Increased energy efficiency is a significant focus within Industry 4.0, as it offers numerous benefits. To support this focus, we developed a hybrid switching mechanism to switch between energy harvesting techniques, ambient backscattering and Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT), which can be utilized within cooperative communications. To implement the proposed switching mechanism, we consider an indoor warehouse environment, where the moving sensor node transmits sensed data to the fixed relay located on the roof, which is then transmitted to an IoT gateway. The relay is equipped with the proposed switch to energize its communication capabilities while maintaining the expected quality of service at the IoT gateway. Simulation results illustrate the improved energy efficiency within the indoor communication setup while maintaining QoS at varying signal-to-noise (SNR) conditions.
