Fast time-varying channel parameters and large penetration loss for signals passing through train carriages are two well-known challenges for wireless communications on high speed rails (HSRs). In this paper we introduce, for the first time, backscatter technology into wireless communication systems on HSRs which can address the two challenges and meanwhile have low complexity of signal processing and low cost of circuit implementation compared with traditional solutions such as relay or beamforming technology. Specifically, we propose a backscatter aided wireless transmission (BAWT) scheme and compare its performance with existing direct wireless transmission (DWT) scheme. We also propose the transceiver design for both BAWT and DWT, including joint carrier frequency offset (CFO) and channel estimator, and signal detector. We show that BAWT, instead of DWT, can obtain the channel statistical information in practical applications due to fixed train antennas and unchanged tracks, which can be utilized to facilitate channel estimation. Finally simulation results are provided to corroborate the proposed studies.
