Regarding claim 3 , Walter discloses an electronic device of claim 2, wherein the indication indicates whether the energy harvesting electronic device is capable of transmitting a subsequent message after the transmission of the first message (see minimum energy, next energy exchange item 236). Regarding claim 4 , Walter discloses method for a random access procedure, the method comprising: receiving, by an energy harvesting electronic device, a paging message from another electronic device (see “paging”; 222); generating an indication by the energy harvesting electronic device (see indication, item 236); and transmitting, by the energy harvesting electronic device to the other electronic device, in response to the paging message, a first message comprising the indication (see indication item 236), wherein the indication indicates whether the energy harvesting electronic device is capable of transmitting a subsequent message after the transmission of the first message (see item 236; indicate in its message amount of energy harvested, and minimum energy required for transmission exchange, “next exchange”) . 07-15-03-aia AIA Claim 2 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) as being anticipated by Elshafie et al. (US 2025/0203511 A1) Regarding claim 2 , Elshafie discloses an electronic device, comprising: memory for storing instructions; and a processor configured to execute, during a random access procedure, the instructions to cause the electronic device to: transmit a paging message to an energy harvesting electronic device (see transmitting, [0028]); receive, from the energy harvesting electronic device, a first message comprising an indication; and determine, based on the indication, whether to continue a random access procedure (see [0028], “with the energy harvesting procedure, starting the connected mode inactivity timer, the connected mode idle timer, or both, at the first wireless device at a beginning of the time period according to the selected initial value, performing the energy harvesting procedure during the time period, and performing a random access procedure with the second wireless device according to an expiration of the connected mode inactivity timer, the connected mode idle timer, or both.”).
