Abstract
The apparatus may be a network node configured to transmit, to a backscatter-capable device, a first indication of a first frequency range associated with a downlink (DL) transmission, a second indication of a second frequency range associated with an uplink (UL) communication from the backscatter-capable device, and a third indication of a third frequency range associated with an UL trigger from the backscatter-capable device. The apparatus may further be configured to receive, via the third frequency range, the UL trigger indicating that the backscatter-capable device has information to transmit. The apparatus may also be configured to transmit, based on receiving the UL trigger and via the first frequency range, a CW DL transmission for backscattering from the backscatter-capable device and receive, via the second frequency range, the information from the backscatter-capable device via the CW DL transmission backscattered by the backscatter-capable device.
