Title: Energy harvesting based on pre-emption indications

Description:
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for energy harvesting based on pre-emption indications. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). 
     A wireless network may include one or more base stations that support communication for a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a base station via downlink communications and uplink communications. “Downlink” (or “DL”) refers to a communication link from the base station to the UE, and “uplink” (or “UL”) refers to a communication link from the UE to the base station. 
     The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and/or global level. New Radio (NR), which may be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink, using CP-OFDM and/or single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. One skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim. 
     Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. 
     While aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G). 
       FIG.  1    is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network  100 , in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network  100  may be or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and/or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, among other examples. The wireless network  100  may include one or more base stations  110  (shown as a BS  110   a , a BS  110   b , a BS  110   c , and a BS  110   d ), a user equipment (UE)  120  or multiple UEs  120  (shown as a UE  120   a , a UE  120   b , a UE  120   c , a UE  120   d , and a UE  120   e ), and/or other network entities. A base station  110  is an entity that communicates with UEs  120 . A base station  110  (sometimes referred to as a BS) may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, and/or a transmission reception point (TRP). Each base station  110  may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a base station  110  and/or a base station subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. 
     A base station  110  may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs  120  with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs  120  with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs  120  having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs  120  in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A base station  110  for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro base station. A base station  110  for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico base station. A base station  110  for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto base station or an in-home base station. In the example shown in  FIG.  1   , the BS  110   a  may be a macro base station for a macro cell  102   a , the BS  110   b  may be a pico base station for a pico cell  102   b , and the BS  110   c  may be a femto base station for a femto cell  102   c . A base station may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. 
     In some examples, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a base station  110  that is mobile (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, the base stations  110  may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other base stations  110  or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network  100  through various types of backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network. 
     The wireless network  100  may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a base station  110  or a UE  120 ) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE  120  or a base station  110 ). A relay station may be a UE  120  that can relay transmissions for other UEs  120 . In the example shown in  FIG.  1   , the BS  110   d  (e.g., a relay base station) may communicate with the BS  110   a  (e.g., a macro base station) and the UE  120   d  in order to facilitate communication between the BS  110   a  and the UE  120   d . A base station  110  that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay, or the like. 
     The wireless network  100  may be a heterogeneous network that includes base stations  110  of different types, such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, relay base stations, or the like. These different types of base stations  110  may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and/or different impacts on interference in the wireless network  100 . For example, macro base stations may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico base stations, femto base stations, and relay base stations may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts). 
     A network controller  130  may couple to or communicate with a set of base stations  110  and may provide coordination and control for these base stations  110 . The network controller  130  may communicate with the base stations  110  via a backhaul communication link. The base stations  110  may communicate with one another directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul communication link. 
     The UEs  120  may be dispersed throughout the wireless network  100 , and each UE  120  may be stationary or mobile. A UE  120  may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and/or a subscriber unit. A UE  120  may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and/or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, a smart meter/sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, and/or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless medium. 
     Some UEs  120  may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. An MTC UE and/or an eMTC UE may include, for example, a robot, a drone, a remote device, a sensor, a meter, a monitor, and/or a location tag, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs  120  may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs  120  may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment. A UE  120  may be included inside a housing that houses components of the UE  120 , such as processor components and/or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled. 
     In general, any number of wireless networks  100  may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network  100  may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed. 
     In some examples, two or more UEs  120  (e.g., shown as UE  120   a  and UE  120   e ) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station  110  as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs  120  may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, or a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In such examples, a UE  120  may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station  110 . 
     Devices of the wireless network  100  may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided by frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of the wireless network  100  may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz-7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz-52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band. 
     The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified an operating band for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz-24.25 GHz). Frequency bands falling within FR3 may inherit FR1 characteristics and/or FR2 characteristics, and thus may effectively extend features of FR1 and/or FR2 into mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz-71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz-114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz-300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band. 
     With the above examples in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and/or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and/or FR5) may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges. 
     In some aspects, the UE  120  may include a communication manager  140 . As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager  140  may receive (e.g., from the base station  110 ) a pre-emption indication associated with a scheduled transmission between the base station  110  and the UE  120  and perform energy harvesting, during the scheduled transmission, based at least in part on the pre-emption indication. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager  140  may perform one or more other operations described herein. 
     In some aspects, the base station  110  may include a communication manager  150 . As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager  150  may determine that the UE  120  should perform energy harvesting during a scheduled transmission between the base station  110  and the UE  120  and transmit (e.g., to the UE  120 ) a pre-emption indication, associated with the scheduled transmission between the base station  110  and the UE  120 , to trigger the UE  120  to perform energy harvesting during the scheduled transmission. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager  150  may perform one or more other operations described herein. 
     As indicated above,  FIG.  1    is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to  FIG.  1   . 
       FIG.  2    is a diagram illustrating an example  200  of a base station  110  in communication with a UE  120  in a wireless network  100 , in accordance with the present disclosure. The base station  110  may be equipped with a set of antennas  234   a  through  234   t , such as T antennas (T≥1). The UE  120  may be equipped with a set of antennas  252   a  through  252   r , such as R antennas (R≥1). 
     At the base station  110 , a transmit processor  220  may receive data, from a data source  212 , intended for the UE  120  (or a set of UEs  120 ). The transmit processor  220  may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE  120  based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from that UE  120 . The base station  110  may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE  120  based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE  120  and may provide data symbols for the UE  120 . The transmit processor  220  may process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor  220  may generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor  230  may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems  232  (e.g., T modems), shown as modems  232   a  through  232   t . For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of a modem  232 . Each modem  232  may use a respective modulator component to process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem  232  may further use a respective modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and/or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The modems  232   a  through  232   t  may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas  234  (e.g., T antennas), shown as antennas  234   a  through  234   t.    
     At the UE  120 , a set of antennas  252  (shown as antennas  252   a  through  252   r ) may receive the downlink signals from the base station  110  and/or other base stations  110  and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems  254  (e.g., R modems), shown as modems  254   a  through  254   r . For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of a modem  254 . Each modem  254  may use a respective demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and/or digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem  254  may use a demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector  256  may obtain received symbols from the modems  254 , may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and may provide detected symbols. A receive processor  258  may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE  120  to a data sink  260 , and may provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor  280 . The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a CQI parameter, among other examples. In some examples, one or more components of the UE  120  may be included in a housing  284 . 
     The network controller  130  may include a communication unit  294 , a controller/processor  290 , and a memory  292 . The network controller  130  may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller  130  may communicate with the base station  110  via the communication unit  294 . 
     One or more antennas (e.g., antennas  234   a  through  234   t  and/or antennas  252   a  through  252   r ) may include, or may be included within, one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of  FIG.  2   . 
     On the uplink, at the UE  120 , a transmit processor  264  may receive and process data from a data source  262  and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from the controller/processor  280 . The transmit processor  264  may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor  264  may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor  266  if applicable, further processed by the modems  254  (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the base station  110 . In some examples, the modem  254  of the UE  120  may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE  120  includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s)  252 , the modem(s)  254 , the MIMO detector  256 , the receive processor  258 , the transmit processor  264 , and/or the TX MIMO processor  266 . The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor  280 ) and the memory  282  to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to  FIGS.  6 - 11   ). 
     At the base station  110 , the uplink signals from UE  120  and/or other UEs may be received by the antennas  234 , processed by the modem  232  (e.g., a demodulator component, shown as DEMOD, of the modem  232 ), detected by a MIMO detector  236  if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor  238  to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE  120 . The receive processor  238  may provide the decoded data to a data sink  239  and provide the decoded control information to the controller/processor  240 . The base station  110  may include a communication unit  244  and may communicate with the network controller  130  via the communication unit  244 . The base station  110  may include a scheduler  246  to schedule one or more UEs  120  for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some examples, the modem  232  of the base station  110  may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the base station  110  includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s)  234 , the modem(s)  232 , the MIMO detector  236 , the receive processor  238 , the transmit processor  220 , and/or the TX MIMO processor  230 . The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor  240 ) and the memory  242  to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to  FIGS.  6 - 11   ). 
     The controller/processor  240  of the base station  110 , the controller/processor  280  of the UE  120 , and/or any other component(s) of  FIG.  2    may perform one or more techniques associated with energy harvesting based on pre-emption indications, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller/processor  240  of the base station  110 , the controller/processor  280  of the UE  120 , and/or any other component(s) of  FIG.  2    may perform or direct operations of, for example, process  800  of  FIG.  8   , process  900  of  FIG.  9   , and/or other processes as described herein. The memory  242  and the memory  282  may store data and program codes for the base station  110  and the UE  120 , respectively. In some examples, the memory  242  and/or the memory  282  may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and/or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and/or interpreting) by one or more processors of the base station  110  and/or the UE  120 , may cause the one or more processors, the UE  120 , and/or the base station  110  to perform or direct operations of, for example, process  800  of  FIG.  8   , process  900  of  FIG.  9   , and/or other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, and/or interpreting the instructions, among other examples. 
     In some aspects, a UE (e.g., the UE  120  and/or apparatus  1000  of  FIG.  10   ) may include means for receiving, from a base station (e.g., the base station  110  and/or apparatus  1100  of  FIG.  11   ), a pre-emption indication associated with a scheduled transmission between the base station and the UE; and/or means for performing energy harvesting, during the scheduled transmission, based at least in part on the pre-emption indication. The means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager  140 , antenna  252 , modem  254 , MIMO detector  256 , receive processor  258 , transmit processor  264 , TX MIMO processor  266 , controller/processor  280 , or memory  282 . 
     In some aspects, the a base station (e.g., the base station  110  and/or apparatus  1100  of  FIG.  11   ) may include means for determining that a UE (e.g., the UE  120  and/or apparatus  1000  of  FIG.  10   ) should perform energy harvesting during a scheduled transmission between the base station and the UE; and/or means for transmitting, to the UE, a pre-emption indication, associated with the scheduled transmission between the base station and the UE, to trigger the UE to perform energy harvesting during the scheduled transmission. The means for the base station to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager  150 , transmit processor  220 , TX MIMO processor  230 , modem  232 , antenna  234 , MIMO detector  236 , receive processor  238 , controller/processor  240 , memory  242 , or scheduler  246 . 
     While blocks in  FIG.  2    are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor  264 , the receive processor  258 , and/or the TX MIMO processor  266  may be performed by or under the control of the controller/processor  280 . 
     As indicated above,  FIG.  2    is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to  FIG.  2   . 
       FIG.  3    is a diagram illustrating an example  300  of energy harvesting architecture, in accordance with the present disclosure. Energy harvesting helps low- or no-power devices (such as wearable devices like smart watches, IoT devices, or reduced capacity (RedCap) UEs, among other examples) convert energy from received electromagnetic signals into direct current (DC), battery power, or other electrical energy. Accordingly, the electrical energy may be used to perform decoding, signal filtering, encoding, transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals, receiving RF signals, or other tasks. For some devices, such as security tags, energy harvesting may be a sole mechanism for powering the devices. For other devices, such as wearable devices, energy harvesting may be combined with batteries to power the devices. 
     As shown in  FIG.  3   , a device may include an array  301  of antennas. In example  300 , the device includes four antennas (e.g., antenna  301 - 1 , antenna  301 - 2 , antenna  301 - 3 , and antenna  301 - 4 ). Other aspects may include fewer antennas (e.g., three antennas or two antennas) or additional antennas (e.g., five antennas, six antennas, and so on). 
     In example  300 , the array  301  is physically divided between an energy harvester  303  and an information receiver  305 . The energy harvester  303  may include a rectenna or another circuit configured to convert RF signals (e.g., received at antenna  301 - 1  and/or antenna  301 - 2  in example  300 ) to DC or another type of electrical energy. The information receiver  305  may include a demodulator, a microprocessor, and/or another circuit configured to output binary data based on RF signals (e.g., received at antenna  301 - 3  and/or antenna  301 - 4  in example  300 ). 
     Similar to example  300 , example  400  of  FIG.  4    includes an array  401  of antennas. In example  400 , the device includes four antennas (e.g., antenna  401 - 1 , antenna  401 - 2 , antenna  401 - 3 , and antenna  401 - 4 ). Other aspects may include fewer antennas (e.g., three antennas, two antennas, or one antenna) or additional antennas (e.g., five antennas, six antennas, and so on). 
     In example  400 , a time switcher  403  divides incoming analog signals from the array  401  between an energy harvester  405  and an information receiver  407 . Accordingly, the device in example  400  harvests energy during some time portions (e.g., during some RF subframes, during some LTE/NR slots, and/or during some OFDM symbols) and decodes information during other time portions. 
     Similar to example  300 , example  500  of  FIG.  5    includes an array  501  of antennas. In example  500 , the device includes four antennas (e.g., antenna  501 - 1 , antenna  501 - 2 , antenna  501 - 3 , and antenna  501 - 4 ). Other aspects may include fewer antennas (e.g., three antennas, two antennas, or one antenna) or additional antennas (e.g., five antennas, six antennas, and so on). 
     In example  500 , a power switcher  503  divides incoming analog signals from the array  501  between an energy harvester  505  and an information receiver  507 . Accordingly, the device in example  500  may harvest energy and decode information simultaneously as long as the quality of the analog signals are not too low after the power switcher  503  divides the signals. Sometimes, the power switcher  503  may direct more (or all) power toward the energy harvester  505  (e.g., when no information is expected to be received), and other times, the power switcher  503  may direct more (or all) power toward the information receiver  507  (e.g., when information is expected, and the analog signals are not strong enough to be divided). 
     Sometimes, a network (e.g., via a base station) cancels a scheduled transmission (e.g., from the network to a UE). For example, network resources for the scheduled transmission may be needed for other devices and/or other transmissions. Accordingly, the network may transmit a pre-emption indication associated with the transmission (e.g., format 2_1 downlink control information (DCI) when the transmission is a downlink transmission or format 2_4 DCI when the transmission is an uplink transmission). However, the UE now idles during an amount of time associated with the scheduled transmission. 
     Some techniques and apparatuses described herein enable a UE (e.g., UE  120 ) to perform energy harvesting in response to a pre-emption indication from a base station (e.g., the base station  110 ). As a result, the UE  120  gains power during an amount of time in which the UE  120  would otherwise have been idling. Additionally, in some aspects, the base station  110  may use a pre-emption indication to instruct the UE  120  to perform partial energy harvesting. As a result, the UE  120  gains some power while also decoding information from the base station  110 . 
     As indicated above,  FIGS.  3 - 5    are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIGS.  3 - 5   . 
       FIG.  6    is a diagram illustrating an example  600  associated with energy harvesting based on pre-emption indications, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in  FIG.  6   , a base station  110  and a UE  120  may communicate with one another (e.g., on a downlink from the base station  110  to the UE  120  and on an uplink from the UE  120  to the base station  110 ). 
     As shown by reference number  605 , the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, a pre-emption indication associated with a scheduled transmission between the base station  110  and the UE  120 . For example, the base station  110  may determine that the UE  120  should perform energy harvesting during the scheduled transmission (e.g., by determining that the scheduled transmission is cancelled or by determining that the base station  110  may transmit with higher power during the scheduled transmission to allow for partial energy harvesting). 
     In some aspects, the pre-emption indication is included in DCI. For example, the DCI may be format 2 DCI, as defined in 3GPP specifications. In some aspects, the pre-emption indication is included in a dedicated DCI message. For example, the DCI may be a new format 2 DCI message associated with downlink transmissions from the base station  110  to the UE  120 . 
     As an alternative, the pre-emption indication is included in an uplink cancellation message. For example, the uplink cancellation message may be included in DCI that is a format 2_4 DCI, as defined in 3GPP specifications. Accordingly, a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the uplink cancellation message (e.g., used to scramble DCI including the uplink cancellation message), at least one bit of the uplink cancellation message (e.g., a new field in the DCI including at least one bit), or a combination thereof indicates that the uplink cancellation message is associated with energy harvesting. As a result, the UE  120  is able to identify that the uplink cancellation message is also associated with energy harvesting during an upcoming downlink transmission. 
     As shown by reference number  610 , the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting, during the scheduled transmission, based at least in part on the pre-emption indication. For example, the UE  120  may use architecture as described in connection with  FIGS.  3 ,  4   , and/or  5  to perform energy harvesting during the scheduled transmission. 
     In some aspects, the pre-emption indication may be associated with partial energy harvesting (e.g., as described in connection with reference numbers  715  and  720  of  FIG.  7   ). For example, the UE  120  may use power division (e.g., as described in connection with  FIG.  5   ) and/or time division (e.g., as described in connection with  FIG.  4   ) to perform partial energy harvesting during the scheduled transmission. Accordingly, the pre-emption indication may include a charging rate associated with the partial energy harvesting. For example, the pre-emption indication may indicate a fraction of time associated with the partial energy harvesting (e.g., represented by α) or a fraction of time associated with data reception (e.g., represented by (1−α)). In another example, the pre-emption indication may indicate a fraction of power associated with the partial energy harvesting (e.g., represented by ρ) or a fraction of power associated with data reception (e.g., represented by (1−ρ)). 
     Additionally, the pre-emption indication may further include an MCS associated with the partial energy harvesting. For example, the base station  110  may indicate a lower MCS than originally indicated for the scheduled transmission in order to increase reliability of signals that are divided between energy harvesting and decoding. The pre-emption indication may include the new, lower MCS or may include a differential between the original MCS and the new, lower MCS. 
     In some aspects, the pre-emption indication is associated with all upcoming transmissions to the UE  120 . Accordingly, the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting during all upcoming transmissions from the base station  110 . For example, the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting for any transmissions scheduled when the pre-emption indication was received (e.g., by DCI received before the pre-emption indication) as well as any transmissions scheduled after the pre-emption indication was received (e.g., by DCI received after the pre-emption indication). Therefore, as shown by reference number  615 , the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, a new indication to stop energy harvesting. The new indication may be included in DCI. For example, the DCI may be format 2 DCI, as defined in 3GPP specifications. As described above, the new indication may be included in a dedicated DCI message or in an uplink cancellation message. 
     As shown by reference number  620 , the UE  120  may refrain from performing energy harvesting based at least in part on the new indication. For example, the UE  120  may refrain from performing energy harvesting for any transmissions scheduled when the new indication was received (e.g., by DCI received before the new indication) and/or during any transmissions scheduled after the new indication was received (e.g., by DCI received after the new indication). 
     By using techniques as described in connection with  FIG.  6   , the UE  120  performs energy harvesting in response to a pre-emption indication from a base station. As a result, the UE  120  gains power during an amount of time in which the UE  120  would otherwise have been idling. 
     As indicated above,  FIG.  6    is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIG.  6   . 
       FIG.  7    is a diagram illustrating an example  700  associated with energy harvesting based on pre-emption indications, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in  FIG.  7   , a base station  110  and a UE  120  may communicate with one another (e.g., on a downlink from the base station  110  to the UE  120  and on an uplink from the UE  120  to the base station  110 ). 
     As shown by reference number  705 , the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, a pre-emption indication associated with a scheduled transmission between the base station  110  and the UE  120 . For example, the base station  110  may transmit the pre-emption indication as described in connection with reference number  605  of  FIG.  6   . 
     As shown by reference number  710 , the base station  110  may transmit, and the UE  120  may receive, downlink signals during the scheduled transmission. For example, the pre-emption indication may be associated with partial energy harvesting (e.g., as described in connection with reference numbers  715  and  720 ). Accordingly, the UE  120  may use power division (e.g., as described in connection with  FIG.  5   ) and/or time division (e.g., as described in connection with  FIG.  4   ) to perform partial energy harvesting during the scheduled transmission. Accordingly, the pre-emption indication may include a charging rate associated with the partial energy harvesting. For example, the pre-emption indication may indicate a fraction of time associated with the partial energy harvesting (e.g., represented by α) or a fraction of time associated with data reception (e.g., represented by (1−α)). In another example, the pre-emption indication may indicate a fraction of power associated with the partial energy harvesting (e.g., represented by ρ) or a fraction of power associated with data reception (e.g., represented by (1−ρ)). 
     Additionally, the pre-emption indication may further include an MCS associated with the partial energy harvesting. For example, the base station  110  may indicate a lower MCS than originally indicated for the scheduled transmission in order to increase reliability of signals that are divided between energy harvesting and decoding. The pre-emption indication may include the new, lower MCS or may include a differential between the original MCS and the new, lower MCS. 
     Accordingly, to enable partial energy harvesting, the base station  110  may transmit signals to the UE  120  (e.g., that encode control information, data, and/or other information) with a lower MCS in order to improve reliability of the signals that the UE  120  splits using power division (e.g., as described in connection with  FIG.  5   ) and/or time division (e.g., as described in connection with  FIG.  4   ). 
     Alternatively, to enable full energy harvesting, the base station  110  cancels transmission to the UE  120  such that the UE  120  uses whatever signals are transmitted by the base station  110  (e.g., to another UE and/or broadcast signals, such as system information, reference signals, and so on) and/or by nearby base stations to perform energy harvesting. Accordingly, the base station  110  may schedule transmissions to other UEs, reference signal transmissions, broadcast transmissions, and/or other transmissions in lieu of the scheduled transmission to the UE  120 . 
     As shown by reference number  715 , the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting, during the scheduled transmission, based at least in part on the pre-emption indication. In some aspects, and as described in connection with reference number  610  of  FIG.  6   , the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting during all upcoming transmissions from the base station  110 . 
     As an alternative, the pre-emption indication may be associated with one or more time resources and one or more frequency resources. For example, the pre-emption indication may indicate one or more resource blocks (RBs) and/or other portions of a frequency spectrum to use for energy harvesting. Similarly, the pre-emption indication may indicate one or more slots or symbols and/or other portions of a time spectrum to use for energy harvesting. Accordingly, the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting using the indicated resource(s). 
     In some aspects, the scheduled transmission overlaps, at least in part, with the resource(s) associated with the pre-emption indication. Accordingly, the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting during an entirety of the scheduled transmission. For example, if a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and/or other downlink transmission stretches before or after the time resource(s) associated with the pre-emption indication, the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting during an entire time period scheduled for the PDSCH transmission. Similar, if a PDSCH and/or other downlink transmission includes RBs higher or lower in frequency than the frequency resource(s) associated with the pre-emption indication, the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting across an entire portion of the frequency spectrum scheduled for the PDSCH transmission. 
     As an alternative, the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting during a portion of the scheduled transmission that overlaps with the resource(s) associated with the pre-emption indication. Accordingly, the UE  120  performs energy harvesting using the indicated resource(s) regardless of overlap between the scheduled transmission and the indicated resource(s). 
     In some aspects, when the scheduled transmission has a partial overlap with the resource(s) associated with the pre-emption indication, the UE  120  may determine whether to perform energy harvesting based at least in part on the partial overlap. For example, the UE  120  may apply an overlap threshold such that the UE  120  performs energy harvesting when the partial overlap satisfies the threshold. The overlap threshold may be programmed (and/or otherwise preconfigured) into the UE  120  (e.g., according to 3GPP specifications and/or another standard). Additionally, or alternatively, the base station  110  may indicate, to the UE  120 , the overlap threshold to use. In a combinatory example, the base station may indicate the overlap threshold to use from a plurality of possible thresholds that are programmed (and/or otherwise preconfigured) into the UE  120  (e.g., according to 3GPP specifications and/or another standard). When the UE  120  determines to perform energy harvesting, the UE  120  may perform energy harvesting using the indicated resource(s) or may perform energy harvesting during an entirety of the scheduled transmission. 
     In some aspects, as described above, the UE  120  may perform partial energy harvesting. Accordingly, as shown by reference number  720 , the UE  120  may decode information during the scheduled transmission, based at least in part on the pre-emption indication. For example, the UE  120  may demodulate received signals (e.g., divided according to a charging rate included in the pre-emption indication, as described above) and decode the demodulated signals into binary information. 
     By using techniques as described in connection with  FIG.  7   , the base station  110  uses a pre-emption indication to instruct the UE  120  to perform partial energy harvesting. As a result, the UE  120  gains some power while also decoding information from the base station  110 . 
     As indicated above,  FIG.  7    is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to  FIG.  7   . 
       FIG.  8    is a diagram illustrating an example process  800  performed, for example, by a UE, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process  800  is an example where the UE (e.g., UE  120  and/or apparatus  1000  of  FIG.  10   ) performs operations associated with energy harvesting based on pre-emption indications. 
     As shown in  FIG.  8   , in some aspects, process  800  may include receiving, from a base station (e.g., base station  110  and/or apparatus  1100  of  FIG.  11   ), a pre-emption indication associated with a scheduled transmission between the base station and the UE (block  810 ). For example, the UE (e.g., using communication manager  140  and/or reception component  1002 , depicted in  FIG.  10   ) may receive, from a base station, a pre-emption indication associated with a scheduled transmission between the base station and the UE, as described herein. 
     As further shown in  FIG.  8   , in some aspects, process  800  may include performing energy harvesting, during the scheduled transmission, based at least in part on the pre-emption indication (block  820 ). For example, the UE (e.g., using communication manager  140  and/or energy harvesting component  1008 , depicted in  FIG.  10   ) may perform energy harvesting, during the scheduled transmission, based at least in part on the pre-emption indication, as described herein. 
     In some aspects, as further shown in  FIG.  8   , process  800  may include determining to perform energy harvesting based at least in part on a partial overlap between the scheduled transmission and one or more time resources and one or more frequency resources associated with the pre-emption indication (block  830 ). For example, the UE (e.g., using communication manager  140  and/or determination component  1010 , depicted in  FIG.  10   ) may determine to perform energy harvesting based at least in part on a partial overlap between the scheduled transmission and one or more time resources and one or more frequency resources associated with the pre-emption indication, as described herein. 
     In some aspects, as further shown in  FIG.  8   , process  800  may include receiving, from the base station, a new indication to stop energy harvesting (block  840 ). For example, the UE (e.g., using communication manager  140  and/or reception component  1002 ) may receive, from the base station, a new indication to stop energy harvesting, as described herein. 
     In some aspects, as further shown in  FIG.  8   , process  800  may include refraining from performing energy harvesting based at least in part on the new indication (block  850 ). For example, the UE (e.g., using communication manager  140  and/or energy harvesting component  1008 ) may refrain from performing energy harvesting based at least in part on the new indication, as described herein. 
     Process  800  may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and/or in connection with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein. 
     In a first aspect, the pre-emption indication is included in DCI. 
     In a second aspect, alone or in combination with the first aspect, the pre-emption indication is included in format 2 DCI. 
     In a third aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, the energy harvesting is performed during all transmissions from the base station that were scheduled when the pre-emption indication was received. 
     In a fourth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through third aspects, the energy harvesting is performed during all upcoming transmissions from the base station. 
     In a fifth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through fourth aspects, the pre-emption indication is associated with one or more time resources and one or more frequency resources. 
     In a sixth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through fifth aspects, the scheduled transmission overlaps, at least in part, with the one or more time resources and the one or more frequency resources, and energy harvesting is performed during an entirety of the scheduled transmission. 
     In a seventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through sixth aspects, the scheduled transmission partially overlaps with the one or more time resources and the one or more frequency resources, and energy harvesting is performed during a portion of the scheduled transmission that overlaps with the one or more time resources and the one or more frequency resources. 
     In an eighth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through seventh aspects, the pre-emption indication is included in an uplink cancellation message. 
     In a ninth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through eighth aspects, an RNTI associated with the uplink cancellation message, at least one bit of the uplink cancellation message, or a combination thereof indicates that the uplink cancellation message is associated with energy harvesting.
