Indication and detection of new or duplicate paging messages

Abstract

An energy harvesting electronic device is described. The energy harvesting electronic device includes an energy storage device configured to store energy harvested by the energy harvesting electronic device, memory for storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions cause the energy harvesting electronic device to receive a message on a physical random downlink control channel (PRDCH). The message includes any combination of a paging identification (ID), a reader ID, a paging re-transmission counter, and a type of random access. The instructions also cause the energy harvesting electronic device to determine whether the message is a duplicate of an ongoing paging process or a new paging process.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
