Abstract
Devices, networks, systems, methods, and processes for scheduling transmissions from a plurality of ambient power devices are described herein. An Access Point (AP) may determine whether one or more ambient power devices are overlapping or non-overlapping based on one or more device characteristics associated with the one or more ambient power devices. The AP may transmit, to a wireless device, a charging instruction signal based on the one or more device characteristics. The one or more ambient power devices may receive one or more charging frames from the wireless device. The wireless device can receive one or more uplink frames and relay the one or more uplink frames to the AP. The AP may record the one or more charging frames, generate one or more charging profiles for the one or more ambient power devices, and develop an energy management strategy based on the one or more charging profiles.
