Abstract
A wireless device includes an energy harvester and an energy storage that operate in a sequence of energy harvesting cycles to alternately harvest energy and release energy for supplying the wireless device. The wireless device also includes a processing circuit and a wireless communication circuit. A configuration method for the wireless device includes first step where a base station receives a signal from the wireless device indicating wireless communication circuit entry into a receiving operation mode. In a second step, the base station transmits configuration data to the wireless device. The received configuration data is temporarily stored in a memory area of the wireless communication circuit. In a third step, the temporarily stored configuration data is transmitted from the wireless communication circuit to the processing circuit for storage in a memory area. The second and third steps are carried out during distinct energy harvesting cycles of the wireless device.
