Technical Field

[0003] The following relates to wireless communications, including management of uplink transmissions and wireless energy transfer signals. Background Art

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and the like. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems (such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, advanced LTE (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems) and fifth generation (5G) systems (which may be referred to as new radio (NR) systems). These systems may employ techniques such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations, each of which supports wireless communication for communication devices, which may be referred to as user equipment (UE). Components within a wireless communication system may be coupled to each other (e.g., operationally coupled, communicatively coupled, functionally coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled). Summary of the invention

[0048] Some devices, such as user equipment (UE), Internet of Things (IoT) devices, or radio frequency identifier (RFID) devices, may be configured to perform energy harvesting, which means that the device may collect energy from the environment (e.g., the sun, heat sources, and radio frequency (RF) radiation) to power the operation and communication of the device. Specifically, some devices may collect energy from RF radiation. For example, some energy harvesting devices may include a dedicated receiver architecture for energy harvesting (e.g., a dedicated antenna and energy harvesting circuit). A network entity (such as one or more components of a base station) may be configured to send a wireless energy transfer (WET) signal from which an energy harvesting device may capture energy. In some systems, the power level of the RF signal used for energy harvesting may be higher than the power level of the RF signal used for communication. For example, the energy harvesting signal may be in the range of -10dBm to 20dBm, while the communication signal may be decoded at -100dBm. Therefore, the coverage area of ​​the WET signal may be relatively small compared to the coverage area of ​​the communication. The network entity may use resources that would otherwise be used for communication to send the WET signal. Currently, there is no signaling to indicate to a connected device (eg, UE) which resources are used to send WET signals.

[0049] The present disclosure relates to signaling from a network entity to a UE communicating with the network entity of the network entity's ability to send WET signals on communication resources and scheduling information for WET signals. The UE and the network entity may communicate based on the network entity's ability to send WET signals on communication resources and the scheduling information for WET signals. For example, the network entity may send control signaling to the UE, the control signaling indicating that the network entity supports the ability to send WET signals in an uplink resource set and the scheduling information for the WET signal set. The network entity may also send scheduling information for an uplink transmission set for the UE. The network entity may send the WET signal to an energy collection device. The UE may send the uplink transmission set based on the indicated ability of the network entity to support sending WET signals in an uplink resource set and the scheduling information for the WET signal set.

[0050] For example, if the network entity indicates that the network entity is capable of full-duplexing on uplink resources for WET signals and uplink transmissions, the UE may send all of the uplink transmission set. For another example, if the network entity indicates that the network entity cannot send WET signals on uplink resources, the UE may send all of the uplink transmission set. For another example, if the network entity indicates that the network entity is capable of half-duplexing on uplink resources for WET signals and uplink transmissions (e.g., the network entity may send WET signals or receive uplink transmissions on the same uplink resources), the UE may not expect to receive scheduling information for uplink transmissions in the same resources as the scheduled WET signals, or the UE may cancel or discard uplink transmissions scheduled in the same resources as the WET signals. As another example, if the network entity indicates that the network entity is capable of full-duplexing on a subset of uplink resources (e.g., a subset of time slots or a subband of a carrier frequency band) for WET signals and uplink transmissions, the UE may send scheduled uplink transmissions within the subset of uplink resources and cancel or discard scheduled uplink transmissions outside the subset of uplink resources scheduled in the same resources as the WET signals. Thus, the described techniques enable collaboration between the network entity and the UE to deliver WET signals to an energy harvesting device using communication resources configured for the UE.

[0051] Aspects of the present disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to resource diagrams and process flows. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to device diagrams, system diagrams, and flow diagrams related to uplink transmission and management of wireless energy transfer signals.

[0052] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system 100 that supports management of uplink transmission and wireless energy transfer signals according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more network entities 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a long term evolution (LTE) network, an advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a new radio (NR) network, or a network operating according to other systems and radio technologies (including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein).

[0053] The network entities 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100, and may include devices in different forms or with different capabilities. In various examples, the network entities 105 may be referred to as network elements, mobility elements, radio access network (RAN) nodes, or network equipment, among other nomenclature. In some examples, the network entities 105 and the UE 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) access links). For example, the network entity 105 may support a coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographic coverage area), and the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may establish one or more communication links 125 over the coverage area. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which the network entity 105 and the UE 115 may support signal communications according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0054] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary or mobile or both stationary and mobile at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices in different forms or with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as Figure 1 Communicate with other UEs 115 or network entities 105) as shown.

[0055] As described herein, a node of the wireless communication system 100 (which may be referred to as a network node or a wireless node) may be a network entity 105 (e.g., any network entity described herein), a UE 115 (e.g., any UE described herein), a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, the node may be a UE 115. As another example, the node may be a network entity 105. As another example, a first node may be configured to communicate with a second node or a third node. In one aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a network entity 105. In yet other aspects of this example, the first node, the second node, and the third node may be different relative to these examples. Similarly, reference to UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, or computing system, etc. may include disclosure of UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, or computing system, etc. as a node. For example, a disclosure that UE 115 is configured to receive information from network entity 105 also discloses that the first node is configured to receive information from a second node.

[0056] In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130, or communicate with each other, or both. For example, the network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130 via one or more backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to S1, N2, N3 or other interface protocols). In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with each other through the backhaul communication link 120 (e.g., according to X2, Xn or other interface protocols) directly (e.g., directly between each network entity 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130). In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with each other via the midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., according to the midhaul interface protocol) or the fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., according to the fronthaul interface protocol) or any combination thereof. The backhaul communication link 120, the midhaul communication link 162, or the fronthaul communication link 168 may be or may include one or more wired links (e.g., electrical links, optical fiber links), one or more wireless links (e.g., radio links, wireless optical links), etc. or various combinations thereof. UE 115 may communicate with core network 130 via communication link 155 .

[0057] One or more of the network entities 105 described herein may include or may be referred to as a base station 140 (e.g., a transceiver base station, a radio base station, an NR base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a Node B, an evolved Node B (eNB), a next generation Node B, or a Gigabit Node B (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), a 5G NB, a next generation eNB (ng-eNB), a Home Node B, a Home Evolved Node B, or other suitable terms). In some examples, the network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, stand-alone) base station architecture, which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack physically or logically integrated within a single network entity 105 (e.g., a single RAN node, such as a base station 140).

[0058] In some examples, the network entity 105 may be implemented in a disaggregated architecture (e.g., a disaggregated base station architecture, a disaggregated RAN architecture) that may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more network entities 105, such as an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network, an open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g., a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or a virtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, the network entity 105 may include one or more of the following: a central unit (CU) 160, a distributed unit (DU) 165, a radio unit (RU) 170, a RAN intelligent controller (RIC) 175 (e.g., a near real-time RIC (near RT RIC), a non-real-time RIC (non-RT RIC)), a service management and orchestration (SMO) 180 system, or any combination thereof. The RU 170 may also be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, a remote radio head (RRH), a remote radio unit (RRU), or a transmit receive point (TRP). One or more components of the network entity 105 in the decomposed RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of the network entity 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more network entities 105 of the decomposed RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., virtual CU (VCU), virtual DU (VDU), virtual RU (VRU)).

[0059] The functional split between CU 160, DU 165, and RU 170 is flexible and may support different functionalities depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, and any combination thereof) are performed at CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170. For example, a functional split of a protocol stack may be employed between CU 160 and DU 165 such that CU 160 may support one or more layers of a protocol stack and DU 165 may support one or more different layers of a protocol stack. In some examples, CU 160 may host higher protocol layer (e.g., layer 3 (L3), layer 2 (L2)) functionality and signaling (e.g., radio resource control (RRC), service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)). The CU 160 may be connected to one or more DUs 165 or RUs 170, and the one or more DUs 165 or RUs 170 may host lower protocol layers, such as layer 1 (L1) (e.g., physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., radio link control (RLC) layer, medium access control (MAC) layer) functionality and signaling, and may each be at least partially controlled by the CU 160. Additionally or alternatively, a functional split of the protocol stack may be employed between the DUs 165 and the RUs 170, such that the DUs 165 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and the RUs 170 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. The DUs 165 may support one or more different cells (e.g., via one or more RUs 170). In some cases, the functional split between CU 160 and DU 165 or between DU 165 and RU 170 may be within the protocol layer (e.g., some functions of the protocol layer may be performed by one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170, while other functions of the protocol layer are performed by a different one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170). CU 160 may be further functionally split into CU control plane (CU-CP) and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. CU 160 may be connected to one or more DUs 165 via midhaul communication links 162 (e.g., F1, F1-c, F1-u), and DU 165 may be connected to one or more RUs 170 via fronthaul communication links 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, midhaul communication link 162 or fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented based on interfaces (eg, channels) between layers of a protocol stack supported by respective network entities 105 communicating over those communication links.

[0060] In some wireless communication systems (e.g., wireless communication system 100), infrastructure and spectrum resources for radio access may support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, thereby providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more network entities 105 (e.g., IAB nodes 104) may be partially controlled by each other. One or more IAB nodes 104 may be referred to as donor entities or IAB donors. One or more DUs 165 or one or more RUs 170 may be controlled in part by one or more CUs 160 associated with a donor network entity 105 (e.g., donor base station 140). One or more donor network entities 105 (e.g., IAB donors) may communicate with one or more additional network entities 105 (e.g., IAB nodes 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication links 120). The IAB node 104 may include an IAB mobile termination (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by a DU 165 of a coupled IAB donor. The IAB-MT may include an independent set of antennas for relaying communications with the UE 115, or may share the same antennas of the IAB node 104 (e.g., of the RU 170) for access via the DU 165 of the IAB node 104 (e.g., referred to as a virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, the IAB node 104 may include a DU 165 that supports communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node 104, UE 115) within a relay chain or configuration (e.g., downstream) of the access network. In such cases, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., one or more IAB nodes 104 or components of the IAB node 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0061] For example, an access network (AN) or RAN may include an access node (e.g., an IAB donor), communications between an IAB node 104, and one or more UEs 115. The IAB donor may facilitate a connection between the core network 130 and the AN (e.g., via a wired or wireless connection to the core network 130). That is, the IAB donor may refer to a RAN node having a wired or wireless connection to the core network 130. The IAB donor may include a CU 160 and at least one DU 165 (e.g., and RU 170), wherein the CU 160 may communicate with the core network 130 via an interface (e.g., a backhaul link). The IAB donor and the IAB node 104 may communicate via an F1 interface according to a protocol defining a signaling message (e.g., an F1 AP protocol). Additionally or alternatively, CU 160 may communicate with the core network via an interface (which may be an example of part of a backhaul link) and may communicate with other CUs 160 (e.g., CU 160 associated with an alternative IAB donor) via an Xn-C interface (which may be an example of part of a backhaul link).

[0062] An IAB node 104 may refer to a RAN node that provides IAB functionality (e.g., access for UE 115, wireless self-backhaul capabilities, etc.). DU 165 may act as a distributed scheduling node toward child nodes associated with IAB node 104, and IAB-MT may act as a scheduled node toward a parent node associated with IAB node 104. That is, an IAB donor may be referred to as a parent node that communicates with one or more child nodes (e.g., an IAB donor may relay for UE transmissions through one or more other IAB nodes 104). Additionally or alternatively, depending on the relay chain or configuration of the AN, an IAB node 104 may also be referred to as a parent node or child node of other IAB nodes 104. Thus, the IAB-MT entity of the IAB node 104 may provide a Uu interface for the child IAB node 104 to receive signaling from the parent IAB node 104, and a DU interface (eg, DU 165) may provide a Uu interface for the parent IAB node 104 to signal the child IAB node 104 or the UE 115.

[0063] For example, the IAB node 104 may be referred to as a parent node supporting child IAB node communications and as a child node associated with the IAB donor. The IAB donor may include a CU 160 having a wired or wireless connection (e.g., backhaul communication link 120) to the core network 130, and may act as a parent node of the IAB node 104. For example, the DU 165 of the IAB donor may relay transmissions to the UE 115 via the IAB node 104, and may directly signal the transmissions to the UE 115. The CU 160 of the IAB donor may signal the establishment of a communication link to the IAB node 104 via the F1 interface, and the IAB node 104 may schedule transmissions (e.g., transmissions relayed from the IAB donor to the UE 115) via the DU 165. That is, data may be relayed to and from the IAB node 104 via signaling on the NR Uu interface of the MT to the IAB node 104. Communications with the IAB node 104 may be scheduled by the DU 165 of the IAB donor, and communications with the IAB node 104 may be scheduled by the DU 165 of the IAB node 104 .

[0064] Where the techniques described herein are applied to the context of a disaggregated RAN architecture, one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture may be configured to support management of uplink transmissions and wireless energy transfer signals as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by a UE 115 or a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may additionally or alternatively be performed by one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture (e.g., an IAB node 104, a DU 165, a CU 160, a RU 170, a RIC 175, a SMO 180).

[0065] UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where a "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, a client, or the like. UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as: a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a multimedia / entertainment device (e.g., a radio, an MP3 player, a video device), a camera, a gaming device, a navigation / positioning device (e.g., a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) device based on, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System), Beidou, GLONASS or Galileo, ground-based equipment, etc.), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a netbook, a smartbook, a personal computer, a smart device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, virtual reality goggles, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring, a smart bracelet)), a drone, a robot / robotic device, a vehicle, an in-vehicle device, a meter (e.g., a parking meter, an electricity meter, a gas meter, a water meter), a monitor, a gas pump, an appliance (e.g., a kitchen appliance, a washing machine, a dryer), a location tag, a medical / health care device, an implant, a sensor / actuator, a display, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired means. In some examples, UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0066] The UE 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices such as other UEs 115 which may sometimes act as relays, as well as network entities 105 and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 shown.

[0067] The UE 115 and the network entity 105 may wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., access links) on one or more carriers. The term "carrier" may refer to a set of RF spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure to support the communication link 125. For example, a carrier for the communication link 125 may include a portion of an RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating carrier operations, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communications with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. Depending on the carrier aggregation configuration, the UE 115 may be configured to have multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation may be used for both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers. Communication between the network entity 105 and other devices may refer to communication between these devices and any portion (e.g., entity, sub-entity) of the network entity 105. For example, the terms "send," "receive," or "communicate," when referring to the network entity 105, may refer to any portion of the network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, CU 160, DU 165, RU 170) of the RAN that communicates with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities 105).

[0068] In some examples, such as in a carrier aggregation configuration, a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates the operation of other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute RF Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be located according to a channel raster for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in a standalone mode, in which case initial acquisition and connection may be performed by UE 115 via the carrier, or a carrier may operate in a non-standalone mode, in which case the connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or different radio access technology).

[0069] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include downlink transmissions (e.g., forward link transmissions) from the network entity 105 to the UE 115, uplink transmissions (e.g., return link transmissions) from the UE 115 to the network entity 105, or both, as well as other transmission configurations. A carrier may carry downlink communications or uplink communications (e.g., in FDD mode), or may be configured to carry downlink communications and uplink communications (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0070] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the RF spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the "system bandwidth" of the carrier or wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a set of bandwidths of carriers for a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4 megahertz (MHz), 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz). A device of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., a network entity 105, a UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communication on a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communication on one of the carrier bandwidths in the set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a network entity 105 or a UE 115 that supports concurrent communication via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate on a portion (e.g., a subband, a BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0071] The signal waveform transmitted by the carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may refer to a resource of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, in which case the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), so that the more resource elements a device receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate of the device may be. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of RF spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers, beams), and the use of multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity used for communication with UE 115.

[0072] One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, where the numerologies may include subcarrier spacing (Δf) and cyclic prefixes. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time, and communications of a UE 115 may be constrained to one or more active BWPs.

[0073] The time interval for the network entity 105 or the UE 115 may be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, which may be, for example, a sampling period T s =1 / (Δf max ·N f seconds, where Δfmax It can represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N f The maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size may be indicated. Time intervals of the communication resources may be organized according to radio frames, each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0074] Each frame may include a plurality of consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided into subframes (e.g., in the time domain), and each subframe may be further divided into a certain number of time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include a certain number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of a cyclic prefix added before each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, a time slot may also be divided into a plurality of mini-time slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may include one or more (e.g., N f The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the operating frequency band.

[0075] A subframe, slot, mini-slot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmit time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of a shortened TTI (sTTI)).

[0076] Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. For example, physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier using one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) of a physical control channel may be defined by a set of symbol periods and may extend across a system bandwidth or a subset of a system bandwidth of a carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more UEs in UE 115 may monitor or search a control region to obtain control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level of a control channel candidate may refer to the amount of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured for transmitting control information to multiple UEs 115 , and a UE-specific search space set for transmitting control information to a specific UE 115 .

[0077] The network entity 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells (e.g., macro cells, small cells, hotspots, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof). The term "cell" may refer to a logical communication entity used to communicate with the network entity 105 (e.g., on a carrier), and may be associated with an identifier (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or other) used to distinguish adjacent cells. In some examples, a cell may also refer to a coverage area 110 or a portion of a coverage area 110 (e.g., a sector) on which a logical communication entity operates. Depending on various factors (such as the capabilities of the network entity 105), such cells may range from smaller areas (e.g., structures, subsets of structures) to larger areas. For example, a cell may be or may include a building, a subset of a building, or an external space between or overlapping coverage areas 110, and the like.

[0078] A macro cell generally covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access to UEs 115 that have service subscriptions with a network provider that supports the macro cell. A small cell may be associated with a lower power network entity 105 (e.g., a lower power base station 140) (compared to a macro cell), and the small cell may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed) frequency band as the macro cell. A small cell may provide unrestricted access to UEs 115 that have service subscriptions with a network provider, or may provide restricted access to UEs 115 associated with a small cell (e.g., UEs 115 in a closed subscriber group (CSG), UEs 115 associated with users in a home or office). A network entity 105 may support one or more cells, and may also use one or more component carriers to support communications on one or more cells.

[0079] In some examples, a carrier may support multiple cells, and different cells may be configured according to different protocol types (e.g., MTC, narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)) that may provide access to different types of devices.

[0080] In some examples, the network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140, RUs 170) may be mobile and thus provide communication coverage for mobile coverage areas 110. In some examples, different coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same network entity 105. In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different network entities 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of network entities 105 provide coverage for various coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0081] The wireless communication system 100 may support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, the network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140) may have similar frame timing, and transmissions from different network entities 105 may be approximately aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, the network entities 105 may have different frame timing, and in some examples, transmissions from different network entities 105 may not be aligned in time. The techniques described herein may be used for either synchronous operation or asynchronous operation.

[0082] Some UEs 115, such as MTC or IoT devices, may be low-cost or low-complexity devices and may allow automated communication between machines (e.g., via machine-to-machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technology that allows devices to communicate with each other or with a network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communication from devices that integrate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application that utilizes the information or presents the information to a person interacting with the application. Some UEs 115 may be designed to collect information or implement automated behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include: smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, health care monitoring, field survival monitoring, weather and geographic event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based commercial charging. In one aspect, the technology disclosed herein may be applicable to MTC or IoT UEs. MTC or IoT UE may include MTC / enhanced MTC (eMTC, also known as CAT-M, Cat M1) UE, NB-IoT (also known as CAT NB1) UE, and other types of UE. eMTC and NB-IoT may refer to future technologies that may evolve from or be based on these technologies. For example, eMTC may include FeMTC (further eMTC), eFeMTC (further enhanced eMTC), mMTC (massive MTC), and NB-IoT may include eNB-IoT (enhanced NB-IoT) and FeNB-IoT (further enhanced NB-IoT).

[0083] Some UEs 115 may be configured to employ a reduced power consumption mode of operation, such as half-duplex communication (e.g., a mode that supports unidirectional communication via transmission or reception but does not transmit and receive concurrently). In some examples, half-duplex communication may be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power saving techniques for UE 115 include entering a power saving deep sleep mode when not engaged in active communications, operating on a limited bandwidth (e.g., according to narrowband communications), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs 115 may be configured to operate using a narrowband protocol type that is associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., a set of subcarriers or resource blocks (RBs)) within a carrier, within a guard band of a carrier, or outside a carrier.

[0084] The wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). The UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable or low-latency or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communication may include private communication or group communication, and may be supported by one or more services (such as push-to-talk, video, or data). Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, and ultra-reliable low-latency are used interchangeably herein.

[0085] In some examples, a UE 115 may be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., according to a peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocol). In some examples, one or more UEs 115 in a group that are performing D2D communication may be within a coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, a RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communication configured or scheduled by the network entity 105. In some examples, one or more UEs 115 in such a group may be outside of the coverage area 110 of the network entity 105, or may otherwise be unable or not configured to receive transmissions from the network entity 105. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may support a one-to-many (1:M) system, in which each UE 115 transmits to each of the other UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, the network entity 105 may facilitate scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In some other examples, D2D communications may be performed between UEs 115 without involving network entity 105 .

[0086] In some systems, the D2D communication link 135 can be an example of a communication channel such as a sidelink communication channel between vehicles (e.g., UE 115). In some examples, the vehicles can communicate using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, or some combination of these items. The vehicles can signal information related to traffic conditions, signal scheduling, weather, safety, emergency situations, or any other information related to the V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in the V2X system can communicate with roadside infrastructure such as roadside units using vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication, or communicate with the network via one or more network nodes (e.g., network entity 105, base station 140, RU 170), or both.

[0087] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW) or a user plane function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnecting to an external network. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be delivered through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to an IP service 150 for one or more network operators. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0088] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands that may be in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally speaking, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelength range is approximately 1 decimeter to 1 meter. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features that may be referred to as clusters, but these waves may be sufficient to penetrate structures so that macro cells provide service to UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) than transmission using smaller frequencies and longer wavelengths of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0089] The wireless communication system 100 may also operate in a super high frequency (SHF) region using a frequency band from 3 GHz to 30 GHz (also known as a centimeter band) or in an extremely high frequency (EHF) region of a spectrum (e.g., from 30 GHz to 300 GHz) (also known as a millimeter band). In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support millimeter wave (mmW) communications between a UE 115 and a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, RU170), and the EHF antenna of the corresponding device may be smaller and closer than the UHF antenna. In some examples, this may facilitate the use of antenna arrays within the device. However, the propagation of EHF transmissions may be affected by greater atmospheric attenuation and a shorter range than SHF or UHF transmissions. The technology disclosed herein may be adopted across transmissions using one or more different frequency regions, and the use of frequency bands specified across these frequency regions may vary by country or regulatory agency.

[0090] The wireless communication system 100 may utilize licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may use licensed assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in unlicensed bands such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in an unlicensed RF spectrum band, devices such as network entities 105 and UEs 115 may employ carrier sensing for conflict detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands may be based on carrier aggregation configurations (e.g., LAA) in conjunction with component carriers operating in licensed bands. Operations in unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, and the like.

[0091] The network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the network entity 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that can support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with the network entity 105 may be located at different geographical locations. The network entity 105 may have an antenna array having a set of rows and columns of antenna ports that the network entity 105 can use to support beamforming for communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support RF beamforming for signals sent via the antenna ports.

[0092] The network entity 105 or UE 115 may use MIMO communication to utilize multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by sending or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such technology may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. For example, multiple signals may be sent by a transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Similarly, multiple signals may be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry information associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO technology includes single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are sent to the same receiving device, and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are sent to multiple devices.

[0093] Beamforming (which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that may be used at a sender device or a receiver device (e.g., network entity 105, UE 115) to shape or direct an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the sender device and the receiver device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining signals conveyed via antenna elements of an antenna array so that some signals propagating in a particular direction relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to signals conveyed via antenna elements may include the sender device or the receiver device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried via antenna elements associated with the device. Adjustments associated with each of these antenna elements may be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular direction (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the sender device or the receiver device or relative to some other direction).

[0094] The network entity 105 or UE 115 may use beam scanning techniques as part of a beamforming operation. For example, the network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform beamforming operations for directional communication with UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be sent multiple times by the network entity 105 along different directions. For example, the network entity 105 may send signals according to different sets of beamforming weights associated with different transmission directions. Transmission along different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device (such as network entity 105), or by a receiving device (such as UE 115)) the beam direction for later transmission or reception by the network entity 105.

[0095] Some signals (such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device) may be sent by a sending device (e.g., sending network entity 105, sending UE 115) along a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with a receiving device such as receiving network entity 105 or receiving UE 115). In some examples, the beam direction associated with the transmission along the single beam direction may be determined based on signals sent along one or more beam directions. For example, UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals sent by network entity 105 along different directions, and may report to network entity 105 an indication of the signal received by UE 115 with the highest signal quality or other acceptable signal quality.

[0096] In some examples, transmission by a device (e.g., by network entity 105 or UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from network entity 105 to UE 115). UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured set of beams across a system bandwidth or one or more subbands. Network entity 105 may send a reference signal (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)), which may be precoded or not precoded. UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-faceted codebook, a linear combination codebook, a port selection codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals sent along one or more directions by a network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170), UE 115 may use similar techniques to send signals multiple times along different directions (e.g., to identify a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by UE 115), or to send signals along a single direction (e.g., to send data to a receiving device).

[0097] A receiving device (e.g., UE 115) may perform receiving operations according to multiple receiving configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals (such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) from a receiving device (e.g., network entity 105). For example, the receiving device may perform reception according to multiple receiving directions by: receiving via different antenna subarrays, processing the received signals according to different antenna subarrays, receiving according to different receiving beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, or processing the received signals according to different receiving beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, any of which may be referred to as "listening" according to different receiving configurations or receiving directions. In some examples, the receiving device may use a single receiving configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). A single receive configuration may be aligned along a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or other acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0098] The wireless communication system 100 may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or PDCP layer may be IP-based. The RLC layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate through logical channels. The MAC layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels to transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmission at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the RRC protocol layer may provide the establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection for a radio bearer that supports user plane data between the UE 115 and the network entity 105 or the core network 130. At the PHY layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels.

[0099] UE 115 and network entity 105 may support retransmission of data to increase the likelihood of data being successfully received. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is a technique for increasing the likelihood of correctly receiving data through a communication link (e.g., communication link 125, D2D communication link 135). HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer under poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise ratio conditions). In some examples, a device may support simultaneous slot HARQ feedback, wherein the device may provide HARQ feedback in a specific time slot for data received in a previous symbol in the time slot. In some other examples, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent time slot or according to some other time interval.

[0100] Some devices (e.g., UE 115, IoT device, or RFID device) may be configured to perform energy harvesting. Specifically, some energy harvesting devices may harvest energy from RF radiation. For example, some energy harvesting devices may include a dedicated receiver architecture (e.g., a dedicated antenna and energy harvesting circuitry).

[0101] RFID is a rapidly growing technology that could have an impact on many industries due to its potential in applications such as inventory and asset management, IoT, sustainable sensor networks (e.g., in factories), agriculture, and smart homes. RFID technology consists of small transponders or "tags" that transmit information-bearing signals when a signal is received at the tag. RFID tags can operate without batteries or with low-cost batteries, so they may require little maintenance and have a long service life. Passive RFID devices can wirelessly harvest energy and power the transmit / receive circuitry, where the transmitted signal can typically be backscatter modulated. Semi-passive or active RFID tags may cost more than passive RFID tags.

[0102] In addition to eMBB, wireless communication systems (such as wireless communication system 100) may include industrial verticals. For example, URLLC, MTC, 5G and subsequent technologies may be extended to support passive IoT. For example, some communication systems (such as wireless communication system 100) may manage passive IoT devices. For example, network entity 105 may: read or write information stored on a passive IoT device; provide energy to a passive IoT device; reflect information-bearing signals from a passive IoT; and / or read reflected signals by a passive IoT to decode information sent by the IoT.

[0103] The network entity 105 may be configured to send a WET signal, and the energy harvesting device may capture energy according to the WET signal. The network entity 105 may signal the UE 115 communicating with the network entity 105 to inform the network entity 105 of the ability to send a WET signal on a communication resource and the scheduling information for the WET signal. The UE 115 and the network entity 105 may communicate according to the ability of the network entity 105 to send a WET signal on a communication resource and the scheduling information for the WET signal. For example, the network entity 105 may send control signaling to the UE 115, which indicates that the network entity 105 supports the ability to send a WET signal in an uplink resource set and the scheduling information for the WET signal set. The network entity 105 may also send scheduling information for an uplink transmission set for the UE 115. The network entity 105 may send the WET signal to the energy harvesting device. The UE 115 may send the uplink transmission set based on the indicated capability of the network entity 105 to support the transmission of the WET signal in the uplink resource set and the scheduling information for the WET signal set.

[0104] For example, if the network entity 105 indicates that the network entity 105 is capable of full-duplexing on the uplink resources used for WET signals and uplink transmissions, the UE 115 may send all of the uplink transmission set. For another example, if the network entity 105 indicates that the network entity 105 is not capable of sending WET signals on the uplink resources, the UE 115 may send all of the uplink transmission set.

[0105] As another example, if the network entity 105 indicates that the network entity 105 is capable of half-duplexing on uplink resources used for WET signals and uplink transmissions (e.g., the network entity 105 may send a WET signal or receive an uplink transmission on the same uplink resource), the UE 115 may not expect to receive scheduling information for uplink transmissions in the same resources as the scheduled WET signal, or the UE 115 may cancel or discard the uplink transmission scheduled in the same resources as the WET signal.

[0106] As another example, if the network entity 105 indicates that the network entity 105 is capable of full-duplexing on a subset of uplink resources (e.g., a subset of time slots or a subband of a carrier frequency band) used for WET signals and uplink transmissions, the UE 115 may send scheduled uplink transmissions within the uplink resource subset and cancel or discard scheduled uplink transmissions outside the uplink resource subset that are scheduled in the same resources as the WET signals.

[0107] Therefore, the network entity 105 and the UE may collaborate to manage coverage enhancement of WET for energy harvesting devices.For example, the network entity 105 and the UE 115 may collaborate to use the communication resources configured for the UE 115 to configure communication resources for delivering WET signals to the energy harvesting device.

[0108] Figure 2 An example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports management of uplink transmissions and wireless energy transfer signals according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the wireless communication system 200 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100. The wireless communication system 200 can include a UE 115-a, which can be an example of a UE 115 as described herein. The wireless communication system 200 can include a network entity 105-a, which can be an example of a network entity 105 as described herein.

[0109] UE 115-a may communicate with network entity 105-a using communication link 125-a, which may be an example of an NR or LTE link between UE 115-a and network entity 105-a. Communication link 125-a may include a bidirectional link that enables both uplink and downlink communications. For example, UE 115-a may use communication link 125-a to send uplink transmissions, such as uplink control signals or uplink data signals, to network entity 105-a, and network entity 105-a may use communication link 125-a to send downlink transmissions, such as downlink control signals or downlink data signals, to UE 115-a.

[0110] The energy harvesting device 205 may be a device configured to collect energy from RF radiation. For example, the energy harvesting device 205 may be an RFID tag, an IoT device, or an energy harvesting UE. In order to collect RF energy, the energy harvesting device 205 may include an RF energy harvesting circuit. The input power of the RF power harvesting at the power harvesting circuit may be non-linear (e.g., due to the influence of a diode). A typical input power may be greater than -20 dB. In some examples, -10 dB may be associated with turning on the power harvesting circuit. Due to the diode junction capacitance and resistance (e.g., formed by frequency selective conversion efficiency), RF energy harvesting may be more efficient at lower frequencies.

[0111] For example, due to insufficient link budget issues, RFID may be associated with short-range signaling (e.g., less than 10 meters) for passive IoT. Due to range considerations, the power link (e.g., downlink signal (e.g., reader to tag)) may often be the bottleneck wireless link. Typical RFID power harvesting circuits may require high input power (e.g., -13 dB). In some examples, lower input power of -20 dB or less may not ensure satisfactory cost and conversion efficiency (e.g., less than 1% efficiency). Multipath reflections may also cause energy signal attenuation and range degradation.

[0112] The network entity 105-a may be configured to send both the energy transfer signal 210 and the communication signal (e.g., uplink and downlink signals via the communication link 125-a and the UE 115-a). As described herein, the power collection circuit at the energy collection device 205 may require a high input power (e.g., -10 decibels to 20 decibels) from the energy transfer signal 210. At the same time, the communication signal may be decoded at a relatively low input power (e.g., -100 decibels). Therefore, the coverage area of ​​the energy transfer signal 210 sent by the network entity 105-a may be smaller than the coverage area of ​​the communication signal sent by the network entity 105-a. In some cases, the network entity 105-a may be configured to send the energy transfer signal during an uplink symbol in a TDD carrier or in an uplink frequency band in an FDD carrier. The network entity 105-a and the UE 115-a may collaborate to manage coverage enhancement of the WET of the energy collection device 205.

[0113] For example, the network entity 105-a may send a first control signaling 215 to the UE 115-a, the first control signaling 215 indicating that the network entity 105-a supports the ability to send energy transfer signals in a set of uplink resources configured for the UE 115-a and first scheduling information used by the network entity 105-a for a set of energy transfer signals 210 (e.g., energy transfer signal 210-a, energy transfer signal 210-b, ... energy transfer signal 210-n). In some examples, the network entity 105-a may broadcast an indication of the network entity 105-a's ability to support sending energy transfer signals 210 in a set of uplink resources (e.g., in a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a system information block (SIB)).

[0114] In some examples, the control signaling 215 may include multiple transmissions (e.g., a first transmission may include an indication that the network entity 105-a supports the ability to send an energy transfer signal in a set of uplink resources configured for the UE 115-a, and a second transmission may include scheduling information for the set of energy transfer signals 210). In some examples, the indication that the network entity 105-a supports the ability to send the energy transfer signal 210 in the set of uplink resources may indicate whether the network entity 105-a supports full-duplex or half-duplex, the beamforming capabilities of the network entity 105-a, the number of antennas associated with the energy transfer signal at the network entity 105-a, the maximum deliverable energy in the energy transfer signal 210, and / or the maximum energy transfer duration of the energy transfer signal 210.

[0115] The network entity 105-a may transmit a second control signaling 220 to the UE 115-a, the second control signaling 220 indicating scheduling information for a set of uplink transmissions 225 (e.g., uplink transmissions 225-a, uplink transmissions 225-b, ... uplink transmissions 225-n) for the UE 115-a. The network entity 105-a may send a set of energy transfer signals 210 that the energy collection device 205 may use to collect energy. The UE 115-a may perform one or more uplink transmissions in the set of uplink transmissions 225 (e.g., one or more of uplink transmissions 225-a, uplink transmissions 225-b, ... uplink transmissions 225-n) based on the indicated network entity 105-a's ability to support the transmission of energy transfer signals 210 in the set of uplink resources configured for the UE 115-a, the scheduling information for the set of energy transfer signals 210, and the scheduling information for the set of uplink transmissions 225.

[0116] In some cases, the UE 115-a may receive an indication of the network entity 105-a's support for sending the energy transfer signal 210 and receiving the uplink transmission 225 in the set of uplink resources in a half-duplex manner using the first control signaling 215. For example, the network entity 105-a may indicate that the network entity 105-a supports receiving the uplink transmission 225 (e.g., a sounding reference signal (SRS), PUCCH, or PUSCH) or sending the energy transfer signal 210 in a given uplink resource. In some cases, the UE 115-a may not desire to receive scheduling for the uplink transmission 225, as scheduled for the energy transfer signal 210, in the uplink resources indicated by the control signaling 215. In some cases, UE 115-a may cancel a subset of uplink transmissions 225 (e.g., one or more of uplink transmissions 225-a, uplink transmissions 225-b, ... uplink transmissions 225-n) based on a scheduling overlap between the subset of uplink transmissions 225 and one or more energy transfer signals in the set of energy transfer signals 210 (e.g., energy transfer signals 210-a, energy transfer signals 210-b, ... energy transfer signals 210-n). UE 115-a may send one or more uplink transmissions that are not canceled (e.g., one or more of uplink transmissions 225-a, uplink transmissions 225-b, ... uplink transmissions 225-n). For example, if UE 115-a determines that uplink transmission 225-b overlaps with energy transfer signal 210-b and network entity 105-a indicates via control signaling 215 that network entity 105-a supports sending energy transfer signal 210 and receiving uplink transmission 225 in half-duplex mode in the uplink resource set, UE 115-a may cancel uplink transmission 225-b. UE 115-a may send the remaining uplink transmissions (e.g., uplink transmissions 225-a to uplink transmissions 225-n except uplink transmission 225-b).

[0117] In some cases, the UE 115-a may receive an indication of the network entity 105-a supporting the transmission of the energy transfer signal 210 and the reception of the uplink transmission 225 in the uplink resource set in full-duplex mode using the first control signaling 215. For example, the network entity 105-a may indicate that the network entity 105-a supports the simultaneous transmission of the energy transfer signal 210 and the uplink transmission 225 in a given uplink resource. In such a case, the UE 115-a may transmit all of the uplink transmission set (e.g., the UE 115-a may transmit each of the uplink transmission 225-a, the uplink transmission 225-b, ..., the uplink transmission 225-n). In some cases, the uplink resource set may include an uplink time slot within a TDD carrier or an uplink frequency band of an FDD carrier. In some examples, the network entity 105 - a may broadcast an indication to UEs 115 , including UE 115 - a , that the network entity 105 - a supports the ability to send the energy transfer signal 210 in the set of uplink resources on a per-band or per-carrier basis.

[0118] In some cases, the UE 115-a may receive, using the first control signaling 215, an indication that the network entity 105-a supports sending the energy transfer signal 210 and receiving the uplink transmission 225 in a subset of the uplink resources of the uplink resource set in full-duplex or half-duplex manner. For example, for WET in a TDD band, the network entity 105-a may indicate that the network entity 105-a supports full-duplex in a subband or that the network entity 105-a supports half-duplex within a subband. The network entity 105-a may signal the defined subband, for example, in the control signaling 215. In some cases, the subband may be non-contiguous within the frequency band (or carrier) (e.g., the BWP for uplink transmission and the BWP for WET may be in the same carrier or frequency band, but may not be contiguous). In some cases, the subband may be contiguous within the frequency band. In some cases, a subband may refer to a given uplink resource (eg, a given uplink symbol or time slot) in which the network entity 105 - a is able to full-duplex the energy transfer signal 210 and the uplink transmission 225 .

[0119] In some cases, if the control signaling 215 indicates that a given uplink resource is scheduled for an energy transfer signal 210, the UE 115-a may not expect to receive a scheduling for an uplink transmission 225 in a given uplink resource outside of a subset of uplink resources if the network entity 105-a indicates that the network entity 105-a supports full-duplex. In some cases, in one or more uplink resources in the uplink resource set outside the uplink resource subset, when the network entity 105-a indicates that the network entity 105-a supports full-duplex, the UE 115-a may cancel the uplink transmission subset of the uplink transmission 225 set based on the scheduling overlap between the uplink transmission subset (e.g., one or more of the uplink transmission 225-a, the uplink transmission 225-b, ... the uplink transmission 225-n) and the energy transfer signal 210 set (e.g., the energy transfer signal 210-a, the energy transfer signal 210-b, ... the energy transfer signal 210-n). The UE 115-a may send one or more uplink transmissions that are not canceled (e.g., one or more of the uplink transmission 225-a, the uplink transmission 225-b, ... the uplink transmission 225-n).

[0120] For example, if UE 115-a determines that uplink transmission 225-b overlaps with energy transfer signal 210-b and network entity 105-a indicates via control signaling 215 that network entity 105-a does not support sending energy transfer signal 210 and receiving uplink transmission 225 in full-duplex mode in the uplink resource subset in which uplink transmission 225-b is scheduled, UE 115-a may cancel uplink transmission 225-b. UE 115-a may send the remaining uplink transmissions (e.g., uplink transmissions 225-a to uplink transmissions 225-n except uplink transmission 225-b).

[0121] In some cases, UE 115-a may receive an indication of network entity 105-a supporting sending energy transfer signal 210 in a first carrier frequency band and receiving uplink transmission 225 in a second carrier frequency band using first control signaling 215. For example, in an FDD frequency band, network entity 105-a may send energy transfer signals in one carrier frequency band and may receive uplink transmissions in another carrier frequency band. In such cases, UE 115-a may send all of the uplink transmission set (e.g., UE 115-a may send each of uplink transmission 225-a, uplink transmission 225-b, ... uplink transmission 225-n).

[0122] In some cases, the UE 115-a may receive an indication using the first control signaling 215 that the network entity 105-a does not support sending the energy transfer signal 210 in the set of uplink resources. For example, for a TDD carrier, the network entity 105-a may indicate that the network entity 105-a cannot send the energy transfer signal 210 or that the network entity 105-a only supports sending the energy transfer signal 210 in the downlink or flexible resources. In such a case, the UE 115-a may send all of the uplink transmission set (e.g., the UE 115-a may send each of the uplink transmission 225-a, the uplink transmission 225-b, ..., the uplink transmission 225-n), and the network entity 105-a may not send the energy transfer signal 210 set in the set of uplink resources.

[0123] In some cases, UE 115-a may receive an indication of network entity 105-a supporting an ability to send energy transfer signal 210 in a set of downlink resources configured for UE 115-a using first control signaling 215. In some examples, first control signaling 215 may indicate that network entity 105-a supports an ability to send energy transfer signal 210 in a set of downlink resources and may not indicate that network entity 105-a supports an ability to send energy transfer signal 210 in a set of uplink resources. In some examples, first control signaling 215 may indicate both that network entity 105-a supports an ability to send energy transfer signal 210 in a set of downlink resources and that network entity 105-a supports an ability to send energy transfer signal 210 in a set of uplink resources.

[0124] The UE 115-a may receive a third control signaling 230 from the network entity 105-a indicating scheduling information for the set of downlink transmissions 235. The UE 115-a and the network entity 105-a may resolve the scheduling overlap between the set of downlink transmissions 235 and the set of energy transfer signals 210 similar to the resolution described between the energy transfer signals 210 and the uplink transmissions 225. For example, the UE 115-a may receive one or more downlink transmissions in the set of downlink transmissions 235 from the network entity 105-a based on the indicated capabilities of the network entity 105-a, the scheduling information for the set of energy transfer signals 210, and the scheduling information for the set of downlink transmissions 235. In some cases, if the network entity 105-a indicates that the network entity 105-a cannot full-duplex the downlink transmissions 235 and the energy transfer signals 210, the UE 115-a may not expect the downlink transmissions 235 to overlap with the energy transfer signals 210.

[0125] Figure 3An example of a resource map 300 that supports management of uplink transmissions and wireless energy transfer signals in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, resource map 300 can implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 or 200.

[0126] Resource diagram 300 illustrates an example TDD frequency band including multiple communication resources (e.g., time slots or symbols). For example, TDD resources may include downlink resources 305, downlink resources 310, downlink resources 315, downlink resources 320, flexible resources 325, flexible resources 330, flexible resources 335, flexible resources 340, uplink resources 345, uplink resources 350, downlink resources 355, downlink resources 360, downlink resources 365, downlink resources 370, flexible resources 375, flexible resources 380, flexible resources 385, flexible resources 390, and uplink resources 395. Downlink resources may be used by network entity 105, for example, for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission or physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. Uplink resources may be used by UE 115, for example, for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. Flexible resources may be dynamically scheduled by the network entity 105 for the downlink or uplink subject to signaling from the network entity 105 .

[0127] In some cases, WET may be deployed in a TDD band, and the energy transfer signal may coexist with the communication signal in the TDD band (e.g., sent in one of the communication resources). For example, for WET deployed in the TDD band, the network entity 105 may send an energy transfer signal in an uplink resource (e.g., uplink resource 345, uplink resource 350, or uplink resource 395). In some cases, the network entity 105 may schedule energy charging for the energy collection device 205 in an uplink resource (e.g., uplink resource 345, uplink resource 350, or uplink resource 395) in a semi-static or dynamic manner. The network entity 105 and the UE 115 may collaborate to deliver the charging energy (e.g., energy transfer signal) to the energy collection device 205, as described herein. For example, in some cases, if the energy transfer signal overlaps with one or more scheduled uplink transmissions in a given uplink resource, the UE 115 may expect to cancel the one or more scheduled uplink transmissions.

[0128] Figure 4 One or more examples of a resource map 400 that supports management of uplink transmissions and wireless energy transfer signals according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure are illustrated. In some examples, resource map 300 can implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 or 200.

[0129] As described herein, in some cases, for example, as shown in resource map 405-a, network entity 105 may support full duplex for energy transfer signals 415-a and uplink and / or downlink transmissions throughout carrier or frequency band 410-a. Thus, full duplex region 420-a may correspond to the entire carrier or frequency band 410-a.
