[0154] In some cases, some IoT devices are often powered by traditional batteries with limited lifespans, negatively impacting the user experience. The astronomical growth of IoT networks, coupled with the proliferation of IoT devices, has pushed maintenance expenses, including labor and battery costs, to a whole new level. Billions of traditional batteries are discarded each year, with only a small fraction effectively recycled, which has a detrimental impact on Earth's ecosystem. Maintaining IoT network operations and replacing batteries can be extremely challenging in some extreme environmental conditions. Battery-free IoT communications have been proposed to improve network performance and sustainability, and expand application scenarios. Furthermore, battery-free communications are more environmentally friendly and safer for children and the elderly. By eliminating traditional batteries, device size and cost can be significantly reduced, paving the way for a variety of new applications.

[0155] In some embodiments, in the era of the fifth generation mobile communication technology 5G, various low power wide area (LPWA) technologies have been developed, such as machine type communication (MTC), narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), reduced capability (RedCap), etc., to meet the growing needs of vertical fields. These LPWA technologies achieve low cost, low power consumption and large-scale connectivity, which can meet the requirements of many applications. However, there are still many use cases and applications that cannot be solved in the following situations. First, devices driven by traditional batteries are not applicable, such as in extreme environmental conditions (such as high voltage, extremely high / low temperature, humid environment). Second, maintenance-free equipment is required (for example, there is no need to replace traditional batteries of the device). Finally, ultra-low complexity, very small device size / form factor (such as mm thickness), longer life cycle, etc. are required.

[0156] In some embodiments, ambient powered IoT is a promising technology that can address the unmet needs described above. An ambient powered IoT device is an IoT device that is powered by energy harvesting, either without a battery or with limited energy storage capabilities (e.g., using capacitors), by harvesting radio waves, light, motion, heat, or any other suitable power source.

[0157] In some embodiments, energy obtained from the environment can drive data transmission and wireless communication of sensing nodes. The current mainstream low-power IoT communication chips (such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), LoRa, and NB-IoT) have a transmit and receive power consumption of tens or even hundreds of milliwatts, while the energy obtained by environmental energy harvesting is only in the microwatt level, which is unable to drive these types of nodes. Therefore, a new wireless communication technology is needed to reduce communication energy consumption to tens of microwatts or even less than ten microwatts. The current mainstream method uses backscatter communication technology. Backscatter Communications is one of the key technologies for building a green, energy-saving, low-cost, and flexibly deployable future Internet of Things, and is an important means to achieve the "Intelligent Connection of Everything".

[0158] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG1B , backscatter communication is a modulation and transmission technology designed with extremely low power consumption using the principle of backscattering of radio frequency signals. Backscatter communication was first proposed by Stockman. When the radio frequency signal reaches the surface of an object, a portion of it will be reflected. The sending node adjusts the matching between the receiving antenna and the impedance according to the information to be sent, thereby enhancing the reflection of the incident radio frequency signal and modulating the perception data acquired by itself onto the reflected signal to complete the transmission of the data. This process is similar to a reflector. Compared with other communication technologies, backscatter communication does not require a complex radio frequency structure, reduces the use of devices such as power amplifiers, high-precision crystal oscillators, duplexers, and high-precision filters, and does not require complex baseband processing. Therefore, it can simplify terminal design and significantly reduce the cost of terminal nodes.

[0159] In some embodiments, backscatter communication has been widely used in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, resulting in numerous large-scale commercial applications. Its operating principle is that a receiver (typically an RFID reader) transmits a radio frequency excitation signal, activating a passive node (typically an RFID tag). The tag then uses backscatter communication to modulate its information onto the radio frequency signal. The reader then receives the reflected signal from the passive tag and demodulates it, achieving information transmission.

[0160] In some embodiments, RFID technology also has numerous drawbacks, such as short coverage distance (the wireless signal experiences double-path fading during round-trip communication, resulting in high path loss and a short effective communication range), single-channel transmission, the need for strict tag alignment, and a lack of power control. RFID technology still has significant room for improvement in communication. Integration with 3GPP communication technologies is needed to improve the wireless communication performance of RFID technology in the passive IoT.

[0161] This new type of IoT device needs to have the characteristics of low memory, low processing power, low power consumption, small data transmission, and massive deployment. Environmental IoT devices can be maintenance-free and have a long service life (for example, more than 10 years).

[0162] These new IoT devices require energy from radio waves transmitted by network nodes to power themselves. Therefore, until they receive energy, they are typically powered off, meaning they are disconnected from the network. To address this, the communication system must support data communication methods with shorter transmission times, lower memory consumption, and more convenient terminal management to expedite data communication.

[0163] In some embodiments, a network topology architecture for wireless communication based on ambient energy devices is implemented based on backscatter technology. For example, the network topology construction may include one of the following:

[0164] Topology 1: See Figure 1C. Downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) data are directly received and transmitted between the ambient power IoT device and the base station.

[0165] Topology 2: As shown in Figure 1D , the ambient IoT and the base station indirectly receive and transmit DL and UL data. Intermediary nodes are present for forwarding. For example, the intermediate nodes can be relays, integrated access backhaul (IAB), user equipment (UE), and / or repeaters.

[0166] Topology 3: Referring to Figure 1E , the ambient IoT and the base station directly transmit or receive data in the DL or UL. Auxiliary nodes are located on the UL or DL, responsible for receiving or transmitting UL or DL ​​data. Examples of auxiliary nodes include relays, IABs, UEs, and / or repeaters.

[0167] Topology 4: See Figure 1F. Downlink and uplink data are directly received and transmitted between the ambient IoT and the UE. The UE collects data and forwards it to the network.

[0168] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1G , Ambient IoT devices can be divided into three types:

[0169] Device A: No energy storage, no independent signal generation or amplification, i.e. backscatter transmission;

[0170] Device B: has energy storage but no independent signal generation, i.e. backscatter transmission. Utilization of stored energy may include amplification of the reflected signal.

[0171] Device C: has energy storage and independent signal generation, that is, an active radio frequency (RF) component for transmission.

[0172] In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether it can camp on a cell based on the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information broadcast by the system. It then determines whether it can camp on the cell and enjoy services based on the S criterion. Optionally, only terminals that are already registered with the network and verified as legitimate users can camp on the cell and prepare for service interaction.

[0173] In some embodiments, the network side triggers the mobile terminal (mobile terminated, MT) or the terminal triggers the calling party (Mobile Origination Call, MO). Regardless of the type, the network and the terminal first establish a dedicated connection, and data interaction is performed after the access layer (Access Stratum) layer security is activated. Optionally, in the Multicast & Broadcast Service (MBS), the network side can trigger the users in the MBS group to enter the Radio Resource Control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection state through group paging based on the group paging method, and then send the multicast data. The users in the group are all legitimate users maintained by the non-access stratum (NAS) layer signaling.

[0174] In some embodiments, there is no network-side triggering of a group of users, and this group of users may have individual user validity issues, so there is no user validity detection issue.

[0419] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG6 , the valid stamps carried in the processing signal or the excitation signal sent by the base station may be valid stamp 1, valid stamp 2, and valid stamp 3; the valid stamp configured by the environmental Internet of Things is valid stamp x; the environmental Internet of Things determines not to respond to the trigger signal or the excitation signal.

[0420] Optionally, the valid stamp or valid code sent by the base station can be the first valid stamp or first valid code in the previous embodiment; the valid stamp or valid code of the environmental Internet of Things can be the second valid stamp or second valid code in the previous embodiment; the trigger signal or excitation signal can be the first signal or fourth signal in the previous embodiment; the data reported by the environmental physical network can be the second information in the previous embodiment.

[0421] Step S6103: Filter the environmental IoT based on RSRP.

[0422] In some embodiments, due to limited UL coverage, auxiliary nodes or intermediate nodes may be used to assist in uplink and / or downlink transmission and transmission. UL coverage varies depending on the scenario. Therefore, the network can configure a measurement threshold, such as the RSRP threshold, to limit the minimum threshold for the Environmental IoT to respond to trigger signals or excitation signals. Whether an auxiliary node exists or whether the Environmental IoT communicates directly with the base station is transparent to the Environmental IoT. If an auxiliary node exists, the network can set a measurement threshold, such as the RSRP threshold. Only when the Environmental IoT's measurement result exceeds this threshold can uplink coverage be guaranteed and the network can receive backscattered data. Optionally, the network can also indicate a recommended UL reflected power value or a recommended UL reflected power parameter, which is used to calculate the uplink transmit power. For example, if the network also configures the base station's transmit power, the Environmental IoT can calculate the path loss, i.e., "PL = UL transmit power - RSRP," where the UL transmit power is "PL + UL reflected power parameter." Furthermore, the network side can also configure a power parameter related to the type of environmental IoT. In this case, the UL transmit power is "PL + UL reflected power parameter + power parameter related to the type of environmental IoT"

[0423] In some embodiments, if the UL transmit power can reach the value recommended by the network side or the UL transmit power value calculated above, the network side can receive the backscattered signal, otherwise it cannot receive it. If it cannot be received, the environmental Internet of Things may not perform the backscattering.

[0424] Optionally, the trigger signal or the excitation signal can be the first signal or the fourth signal in the previous embodiment; the RSRP threshold can be the RSRP threshold value in the previous embodiment; the measurement result of the Internet of Things can be the RSRP measurement value in the previous embodiment; the recommended UL reflected power value can be the first UL transmit power in the previous embodiment; the recommended UL reflected power parameter can be the UL transmit power in the previous embodiment; the UL transmit power is the third UL transmit power in the previous embodiment; the power parameter related to the environmental Internet of Things type can be the UL transmit power bias in the previous embodiment.
