Abstract
Embodiments herein use a 5G node to provide supplemental power to an AMP STA to assist with Wi-Fi communication. Wi-Fi APs may not provide sufficient power wirelessly for the AMP STA to transmit data, or to transmit data as frequently as desired by the AMP STA. A controller can determine when an AMP STA is not receiving sufficient wireless power and provides instructions to a 5G node to provide supplemental power to the AMP STA. The AMP STA can use the power received from the 5G node to transmit Wi-Fi data to the AP.
