Conditional communication times for energy harvesting capable devices

A network entity, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the network entity to:
• receive, from an energy harvesting (EH)-capable user equipment (UE), control information indicating a threshold delay period between communications involving the EH-capable UE;
• perform, with the EH-capable UE, a first communication of data;
• and
• perform, with the EH-capable UE, a second communication of data based at least in part on a time period between the first communication and the second communication satisfying the threshold delay period.

A method for wireless communications at an energy harvesting (EH)-capable user equipment (UE), comprising:

• transmitting control information indicating a threshold delay period between communications involving the EH-capable UE;
• performing a first communication of data;
• and
• performing a second communication of data based at least in part on a time period between the first communication and the second communication satisfying the threshold delay period.
