Email

Summary

The USPTO has published a new patent application (US20260089572A1) detailing a method for channel access in energy harvest-based communication systems. The application, filed on May 16, 2025, describes a device determining channel access resources based on its harvesting rate and transmitting backscattered signals.

What changed

This document is a publication of a new patent application, US20260089572A1, filed by inventors Chanho Yoon, Byung-Jae Kwak, and Kyeongpyo Kim with the USPTO. The application describes a method for a device to access communication channels in an energy harvesting system. Key aspects include receiving information on channel access resources, determining an appropriate resource based on the device's harvesting rate, and transmitting a backscattered signal to a reader.

As this is a patent application, it does not impose immediate regulatory obligations or compliance deadlines on regulated entities. However, it represents potential future technological developments in wireless communication and energy harvesting that companies in the telecommunications and technology sectors may wish to monitor for intellectual property and competitive landscape insights.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHANNEL ACCESS IN ENERGY HARVEST-BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Application US20260089572A1 Kind: A1 Mar 26, 2026

Inventors

Chanho YOON, Byung-Jae KWAK, Kyeongpyo KIM

Abstract

A method of a device may comprise: receiving, from a reader, a first subframe including information on channel access resources for harvesting rate stages; determining a channel access resource according to a harvesting rate of the device, based on the information on the channel access resources; receiving a carrier wave from the reader; generating a backscattered signal including a second subframe by reflecting the carrier wave; and transmitting the backscattered signal to the reader by using the channel access resource.
