Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a request to a device (e.g., another UE, base station) in wireless communication with the UE, where the request may be for the device to transmit a signal to the UE as part of an energy transfer procedure, a security key generation procedure, or both. The UE may receive, from the device, an indication of at least a frequency range to be used for fulfilling the request, and may receive the signal pursuant to the request and the indicated frequency range. The signal may provide energy for the energy transfer procedure or may be a basis for security key generation during the security key generation procedure.
Claims30
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- transmit a request to a device in wireless communication with the UE, the request being for the device to transmit a signal to the UE as part of an energy transfer procedure, a security key generation procedure, or both;
- receive, from the device, an indication of at least a frequency range to be used for fulfilling the request;
- receive, from the device, a first message indicating a first radio access technology type to be used for fulfilling the request;
- and
- receive, from the device, the signal pursuant to the request and in accordance with the indicated frequency range and the first radio access technology type, the signal providing energy for the energy transfer procedure or being a basis for security key generation during the security key generation procedure.
A network entity for wireless communications, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive a request from a user equipment (UE) in wireless communication with the device, the request being for the device to transmit a signal to the UE as part of an energy transfer procedure, a security key generation procedure, or both;
- transmit, to the UE, an indication of at least a frequency range to be used for fulfilling the request;
- transmit, to the UE, a first message indicating a first radio access technology type to be used for fulfilling the request;
- and
- transmit the signal pursuant to the request and in accordance with the indicated frequency range and the first radio access technology type, the signal providing energy for the energy transfer procedure or being a basis for security key generation during the security key generation procedure.
A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting a request to a device in wireless communication with the UE, the request being for the device to transmit a signal to the UE as part of an energy transfer procedure, a security key generation procedure, or both;
- receiving, from the device, an indication of at least a frequency range to be used for fulfilling the request;
- receiving, from the device, a first message indicating a first radio access technology type to be used for fulfilling the request;
- receiving, from the device, the signal pursuant to the request and in accordance with the indicated frequency range and the first radio access technology type, the signal providing energy for the energy transfer procedure or being a basis for security key generation during the security key generation procedure.
A method for wireless communications at a device, comprising:
- receiving a request from a user equipment (UE) in wireless communication with the device, the request being for the device to transmit a signal to the UE as part of an energy transfer procedure, a security key generation procedure, or both;
- transmitting, to the UE, an indication of at least a frequency range to be used for fulfilling the request;
- transmitting, to the UE, a first message indicating a first radio access technology type to be used for fulfilling the request;
- and
- transmitting the signal pursuant to the request and in accordance with the indicated frequency range and the first radio access technology type, the signal providing energy for the energy transfer procedure or being a basis for security key generation during the security key generation procedure.
