Abstract
A user equipment includes transceiver circuitry, control circuitry for controlling the transceiver circuitry and an energy storage device configured to provide energy to at least the transceiver circuitry for transmitting signals to or receiving signals from the wireless communications network. The energy storage device may receive energy from ambient sources and may therefore increase an amount of available energy by using energy harvesting. The user equipment is configured to determine, during an idle or inactive mode in which the user equipment has no active connection for transmitting data to or receiving data from the wireless communications network that an amount of energy which is available from the energy storage device will be insufficient for operating the transceiver circuitry during a blackout period, and to transmit to the infrastructure equipment a blackout message indicating that the user equipment cannot receive signals transmitted from the infrastructure equipment for the blackout period.
