  • Publication number: 20240163800
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For instance, a wireless device (e.g., abase station, a user equipment (UE)) may transmit a wake-up message including an indicator of whether an on duration of a discontinuous reception cycle is associated with harvesting energy from a signal transmitted during the on duration. The wireless device may transmit the signal during the on duration based on the wake-up message. In some examples, the UE may determine, from the indicator, whether to harvest energy, decode data or both during the on duration. If both harvesting energy and decoding data, the UE may harvest the energy and decode the data concurrently for at least a portion of the on duration. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may harvest the energy during a first portion of the on duration and may decode data during a second portion of the on duration.
