Patent ID: 11658723

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may operate in accordance with a full-duplex communication mode and may be scheduled for an uplink transmission without a simultaneous downlink reception. For example, the UE may actively operate both a first one or more antenna panels for transmission and a second one or more antenna panels for reception and, in scenarios in which the UE is performing an uplink transmission without simultaneously receiving a downlink transmission, the UE may use self-interference from the uplink transmission at the second one or more antenna panels for energy harvesting. For example, the UE may receive the self-interference associated with the uplink transmission at the second one or more antenna panels, may refrain from applying interference cancellation, and may instead use a received energy from the self-interference to power one or more components of the UE.
