Abstract: A method and an apparatus for enabling battery power saving in an associated device is disclosed. Said battery saving is enabled by receiving electromagnetic energy carried by a wireless signal, obtaining operating power from the received electromagnetic energy, receiving a data unit over a wireless link, storing the data unit in a memory, and providing the data unit from the memory in response to a memory read request received via an input/output controller.

Abstract: An approach is provided for retrieving ordered content via a service endpoint. A radio frequency memory tag is preloaded with content managed by a service platform. A request is generated for content stored on the radio frequency memory tag of an endpoint associated with the service platform. Transmission of the request to the endpoint is initiated. The request for the content is received from a user equipment. Transmission of the content is initiated from the memory tag to the user equipment. The user equipment receives the content from the memory tag in response to the request.

Abstract: In a system comprising one or more reader devices and a plurality of wirelessly powered communication devices, the reader device has a transceiver to transmit a wireless signals to scan proximate wirelessly powered communication devices. The reader device also establishes communications with a proximate wirelessly powered communication device, forms a session with the proximate wirelessly powered communication devices, communicates in the session with the wirelessly powered communication device, and maintains a state of the session.
