Abstract
An apparatus comprising: means for receiving a proximity pathloss threshold from a network, wherein a pathloss between a passive device and a user equipment connected to the apparatus is less than the proximity pathloss threshold; means for receiving, from the user equipment, at least one measurement associated with the user equipment; means for determining a backscatter link beam direction, based at least on the at least one measurement associated with the user equipment; and means for determining an illumination power of an illumination transmission to the passive device, based at least on the proximity pathloss threshold.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive a proximity pathloss threshold from a network, wherein a pathloss between a passive device and a user equipment connected to the apparatus is less than the proximity pathloss threshold;
- receive, from the user equipment, at least one measurement associated with the user equipment;
- determine a backscatter link beam direction, based at least on the at least one measurement associated with the user equipment;
- and
- determine an illumination power of an illumination transmission to the passive device, based at least on the proximity pathloss threshold.
9-11. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a network node, a first scheduled time of a first illumination transmission to a passive device;
- performing the first illumination transmission to the passive device at the first scheduled time with a first illumination power;
- receiving, from the network node, a second scheduled time of a second illumination transmission to the passive device;
- and
- performing the second illumination transmission to the passive device at the second scheduled time with a second illumination power;
- wherein the second illumination power is greater than the first illumination power.
