Management of transmission instances for energy harvesting devices

A first network node for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine a first quasi co-location relationship to apply to a first set of reception instances of a plurality of reception instances of a data communication, wherein the first set of reception instances is configured to provide the data communication from a second network node;
• determine a second quasi co-location relationship to apply to a second set of reception instances of the plurality of reception instances, wherein the second set of reception instances is configured to allow harvesting of energy from the data communication by the first network node;
• and
• receive the first set of reception instances using the first quasi co-location relationship and the second set of reception instances using the second quasi co-location relationship.

A method for wireless communications at a first network node, comprising:

• determining a first spatial filter to apply to a first set of transmission instances of a plurality of transmission instances of a data communication, wherein the first set of transmission instances is configured to provide the data communication to a second network node;
• determining a second spatial filter to apply to a second set of transmission instances of the plurality of transmission instances, wherein the second set of transmission instances is configured to allow harvesting of energy from the data communication by a third network node;
• and
• transmitting the first set of transmission instances using the first spatial filter and the second set of transmission instances using the second spatial filter.
