Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices that facilitate battery recharge from harvesting energy from radio frequency (RF) signals described. A UE may harvest energy from signals absorbed by the UE's antenna. The energy may be transferred from the UE to a remote device. Additionally, the power generation and transfer may be monitored and tracked.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first device, a plurality signals broadcast at a plurality of frequencies, each signal of the plurality of signals broadcast at a different frequency of the plurality of frequencies;
- converting a first signal of the plurality of signals to a current;
- selecting the first signal by filtering the plurality of signals based on a set of software defined radio rules, the filtered set of signals including the first signal and excluding a second signal;
- establishing a communication channel with a network core via a base station, the communication channel utilizing a second signal of the plurality of signals as a downlink;
- and
- transmitting the current to a second device.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- an user device including at least one antenna communicatively coupled to a rectifier circuit;
- computer readable memory storing instructions that when executed by the user device cause the user device to perform operations including:
- receiving, via the at least one antenna, a plurality signals broadcast at a plurality of frequencies, each signal of the plurality of signals broadcast at a different frequency of the plurality of frequencies;
- converting, via the rectifier, a first signal of the plurality of signals to a current;
- selecting the first signal by filtering the plurality of signals based on a set of software defined transceiver rules, the filtered set of signals including the first signal and excluding the second signal;
- establishing a communication channel with a network core via a base station, the communication channel utilizing a second signal of the plurality of signals as a downlink;
- and
- transmitting the current to a remote device.
