POWER HARVESTING
First Claim
1. An electronic device to provide a wireless RF power harvesting and data network, the electronic device comprising:
- an antenna array;
a processor; and
a controller to control the processor to;
perform a registration process for a power harvesting device to obtain information that enables transmission of a targeted power packet to the power harvesting device through beamforming; and
transmit the targeted power packet to the power harvesting device.

Abstract
Techniques for forming a wireless RF power harvesting and data network are described. An example electronic device includes an antenna array, a processor, and instructions to direct the actions of the processor. The instructions control the processor to perform a registration process for a power harvesting device. The registration process is to obtain information that enables the transmission of a targeted power packet to the power harvesting device through beamforming. The instructions also direct the processor transmit the targeted power packet to the power harvesting device.
