Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network entity may implement sensing to assist in energy harvesting. In some examples, the network entity may employ radio-frequency sensing and a learning model to determine locations of an ambient internet of things (AIoT) device and at least one UE. In some examples, the network entity may determine to charge the AIoT device based on the sensing. In some other examples, the network entity may determine capabilities of the AIoT device and the at least one UE based on the sensing and may determine to charge the AIoT device based on the capabilities. To charge the AIoT device, the network entity may transmit a sensing waveform as a power charging resource for an energy harvesting operation for the AIoT device, or may request the at least one UE to transmit the sensing waveform, or both.
