MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123363 A) filed by Anurag Engineering College, Suryapet, Telangana, on Dec. 8, 2025, for 'energy-harvesting smart antenna systems for carbon-neutral future communication networks.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. V. Eswaraneelarao; and Mr. P. Ramu.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention introduces an energy-harvesting smart antenna system designed to enable carbon-neutral future communication networks by autonomously converting ambient environmental energy sources into sustainable electrical power for continuous antenna operation. The system integrates multi-source harvesters, including photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and RF scavenging modules, with adaptive energy-routing circuitry to maximize conversion efficiency under variable atmospheric and spectrum conditions. A machine learning-driven power management layer dynamically allocates energy to antenna elements, signal processors, and peripheral sensors based on real-time traffic demand, predicted channel states, and network sustainability targets. The smart antenna architecture employs reconfigurable beamforming, phase optimization, and low-power edge computation to reduce transmission overhead and improve spectral utilization. In addition, cooperative energy-sharing protocols allow multiple antenna nodes to exchange excess stored power through wireless power transfer, forming decentralized, self-sustaining green communication grids. The proposed system significantly reduces dependence on carbon-intensive power infrastructure, extends operational lifetime in remote or off-grid regions, and provides a scalable foundation for eco-efficient 6G and beyond networks. By combining sustainable energy capture, AI-enabled communication intelligence, and low-carbon network design, this invention establishes a transformative pathway toward environmentally responsible global connectivity systems."
