Sensing-based energy harvesting and management for ambient internet of things devices

A first wireless device, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the first wireless device to:
• perform a sensing procedure;
• transmit signaling to one or more of a network entity or at least one second wireless device based at least in part on the sensing procedure, the signaling indicating a request for an energy management operation;
• perform the energy management operation using a beamformed wave for energy charging the first wireless device transmitted by one or more of the network entity or the at least one second wireless device;
• and
• transmit, to the network entity, a report indicating a status of the first wireless device based at least in part on performing the energy management operation and receiving a request to report the status of the at least one second wireless device from the network entity.

A second wireless device, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the second wireless device to:
• receive, from a network entity, an indication for the second wireless device to transmit a beamformed wave for energy charging at least one first wireless device;
• receive signaling from the at least one first wireless device;
• relay the signaling from the at least one first wireless device to the network entity in accordance with a capability of the second wireless device;
• and
• communicate with the network entity, the at least one first wireless device, or both in accordance with the capability of the second wireless device and based at least in part on receiving the indication from the network entity.
