UPLINK RELAY FOR WIRELESS POWERED INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17644300 titled 'UPLINK RELAY FOR WIRELESS POWERED INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a wireless communication system that supports the configuration of an uplink relay for wireless powered IoT operations. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A base station sends a power signal to wireless powered IoT devices.
  • The IoT devices use the power signal to power their reception/transmission circuitry.
  • The base station also sends an information signal to trigger the IoT devices to transmit a backscatter transmission.
  • The IoT devices transmit the backscatter transmission in response to the information signal.
  • The base station sends configurations to a UE (User Equipment) that include information about the IoT devices and how to detect and relay their backscatter transmissions.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • IoT devices that can operate without their own power source, relying on wireless power signals from a base station.
  • Efficient wireless communication between IoT devices and a base station, without the need for batteries or wired connections.
  • Improved coverage and connectivity for IoT devices in a wireless communication system.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Powering IoT devices can be challenging, especially in remote or inaccessible locations. This technology allows devices to harvest energy from wireless power signals, eliminating the need for batteries or wired power connections.
  • Backscatter transmissions enable IoT devices to communicate with a base station without requiring their own active transmission circuitry, reducing power consumption and complexity.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Reduced power consumption and longer battery life for IoT devices.
  • Simplified deployment and maintenance of IoT networks, as devices can be powered wirelessly and communicate without active transmission circuitry.
  • Improved coverage and connectivity for IoT devices, as the base station can configure an uplink relay to ensure reliable communication.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support mechanisms for configuring an uplink relay for wireless powered IoT operations in a wireless communication system. A base station transmits a power signal to wireless powered IoT devices. The wireless powered IoT devices harvest energy from the power signal to power their reception/transmission circuitry. The base station transmits an information signal to trigger the wireless powered IoT devices to reflect a backscatter transmission. The wireless powered IoT devices transmit a backscatter transmission in response to receiving the information signal from the base station. The base station transmits configurations to a UE including configuration information respectively corresponding to the wireless powered IoT devices, and include information that the UE may use to detect the backscatter transmissions from the wireless powered IoT devices and relay them to the base station based on the configurations.
