An apparatus, such as a wireless communication device, may transmit a first message to an IoT device. The wireless communication device may be a reader such as a user equipment (UE) or a network equipment (NE). The first message may include a set of one or more parameters associated with an energy status of the IoT device. The IoT device may determine its actual energy status based on the parameters. The wireless communication device may receive, from the IoT device, a second message (e.g., an energy status report) that includes information associated with the energy status of the IoT device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wireless communication device, comprising: at least one memory; and at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the wireless communication device to: transmit, to an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, a first message that includes a set of one or more parameters associated with an energy status of the IoT device; and receive, from the IoT device, a second message that includes information associated with the energy status of the IoT device based at least in part on the set of one or more parameters. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein at least one processor is coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the wireless communication device to: initiate communication with the IoT device based at least in part on the transmitted first message. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the set of one or more parameters comprises one or more of a reference duration, a reference power consumption of the IoT device, or a type of the information associated with the energy status. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the information indicates one or more of whether stored energy at the IoT device is sufficient to perform communication, a span associated with the stored energy, or a charging duration to obtain a capacitance level for performing the communication. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the wireless communication device to: transmit, to the IoT device, a third message that schedules an occasion for communication with the IoT device based at least in part on the information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the wireless communication device to: transmit, based at least in part on the energy status, a third message that triggers the IoT device to switch from a first state to a second state, wherein the first state comprises an active state, and wherein the second state comprises a deactive state. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the wireless communication device to: select one or more IoT devices for communication based at least in part on the energy status being sufficient for the communication. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the wireless communication device to: initiate a timer that suspends communication with the IoT device based at least in part on the information; and transmit, to the IoT device, a third message that resumes the communication with the IoT device based at least in part on an expiration of the timer. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the wireless communication device comprises a user equipment (UE) or a network equipment (NE). ### Claim 10 An Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, comprising: at least one memory;
