1. A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit, WTRU, the method comprising:
receiving, from a network, first configuration information indicating, for at least one transmit beam, energy harvesting signal configuration;
receiving, from the network, second configuration information comprising indications for measuring information and energy transfer quality metrics for the at least one transmit beam, and comprising criteria for reporting, to the network, the measured information and energy transfer quality metrics;
determining the information and energy transfer quality metrics for the at least one transmit beam based on the received first and second configuration information; and
on a condition that the determined information and energy transfer quality metrics for the at least one transmit beam satisfy the criteria for reporting, transmitting a report to the network, comprising, for the at least one transmit beam, the determined information and energy transfer quality metrics.
