Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure include methods and devices for energy harvesting (eh) including an apparatus, e.g., an eh device, an energy transfer (et) node, and/or a base station. an eh device may be configured to transmit a request for initiating an rf eh operation that may be received by one or more et nodes and/or the base station, receive one or more responses to the request from the one or more et nodes, and receive rf energy transmitted by at least one rf et node selected by the eh device or the base station based on a set of criteria related to one or more of an rf et node characteristic, an rf et node connection quality characteristic, a distance characteristic, or a mobility characteristic. a base station may be configured to indicate for the selected rf et nodes to transmit the rf energy to the eh device.
