Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a transmission method, device, answering device and reading and writing device. Background Art

[0002] At present, the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader and answering device interact based on the inventory mode, for example, the reader and the tag communicate based on the inventory mode. Specifically, in an inventory, the reader sends a query instruction, and the answering device generates a random number A after receiving the query instruction. When the random value A is zero, the answering device responds to the query instruction of the reader, generates a 16-bit random value, namely RN16, and sends it to the reader; after receiving RN16, the reader verifies RN16 to confirm whether the answering device correctly responds to the query instruction of the reader, and sends an ACK instruction to the answering device when the reader determines that the answering device correctly responds to the query instruction, and then the answering device can send the relevant data to the reader.

[0056] For ease of understanding, some contents involved in the embodiments of the present application are described below:

[0057] 1. Backscatter Communication (BSC)

[0058] Backscatter communication refers to the backscatter communication device using the radio frequency signal from other devices or the environment to modulate the signal to transmit its own information, for example Figure 2 As shown, the reader sends a continuous carrier to the tag to transmit a control command, and the tag transmits information to the reader by backscattering the radio frequency signal sent by the reader.

[0059] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned backscatter communication device may include the following devices:

[0060] Device A: Backscatter communication device in traditional RFID, usually a tag, belonging to passive Internet of Things (IoT) device (Passive-IoT);

[0061] Device B: A semi-passive IoT device, which has a certain amplification capability for downlink reception or uplink reflection.

[0062] Device C: A device with active sending capability. This type of answering device can generate signals autonomously and does not require external excitation signal source.

[0063] The energy source of the above-mentioned backscatter communication device can come from the environment, for example, ambient radio frequency (RF) signals, thermal energy, kinetic energy, wind energy, etc. Therefore, the above-mentioned backscatter communication device can also be called an ambient IoT device (Ambient IoT device).

[0064] For the transmission method based on backscattering, a simple implementation method is that when the tag needs to send '1', the tag reflects the incident carrier signal, and when the tag needs to send '0', it does not reflect.

[0065] Backscatter communication equipment controls the reflection coefficient Γ of the circuit by adjusting its internal impedance, thereby changing the amplitude, frequency, phase, etc. of the incident signal to achieve signal modulation. The reflection coefficient of the signal can be characterized as:

[0066] Γ=(Z_1-Z_0) / (Z_1+Z_0)=|Γ|e^(jθ_T)

[0067] Where Z_0 is the antenna characteristic impedance and Z_1 is the load impedance. Assuming the incident signal is S_in(t), the output signal is S_out(t) = S_in(t)|Γ|e^(jθ_T). Therefore, by properly controlling the reflection coefficient, the corresponding amplitude modulation, frequency modulation or phase modulation can be achieved.

[0068] 2. Information Transmission between Reader and Tag in RFID

[0069] The instructions for the above Reader operation may be shown in Table 1.

[0070] Table 1

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] The status of the above Tag label can be shown in Table 2.

[0074] Table 2

[0075]

[0076] For example, the sending and receiving process between the Reader and the Tag can be as follows: Figure 3 As shown. The current Ultra High Frequency (EHF) RFID protocol design is in inventory mode, requiring the Reader to send a query command (Query) and the tag to reply with a response (Reply), that is, to generate a 16-bit random number (RN16) to the Reader. Then the Reader feeds back an ACK command to the Tag, and the Tag sends the relevant data to the Reader, for example, the Tag sends the control protocol (Protocol Control, PC) / Extended Control Protocol (Extended Protocol Control, XPC), Electronic Product Code (Electronic Product Code, EPC), and the packet (Packet) cyclic redundancy check (Cyclic Redundancy Check, CRC) to the Reader.

[0077] 3. Reader Inventory Tags

[0078] In the existing reader and tag inventory process, the reader can only inventory one tag in one inventory. If multiple tags are counted by the reader at the same time, the conflict resolution mechanism will be executed and the inventory process will be restarted until there is no conflict. At this time, the inventory efficiency is low.

[0079] The transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0080] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a flow chart of a transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a response device. For the response device, please refer to the above-mentioned relevant description of the response device 11, which will not be repeated here.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, the transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0082] Step 401: The answering device determines a first quantity, wherein the first quantity is the quantity of resource objects available to the answering device, and the resource objects include resources or resource groups.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first number is the number of resources available to the answering device or the number of available resource groups, for example, the first number may be the number of frequency resources available to the answering device or the number of available frequency resource groups, wherein the resource groups may also be referred to as resource blocks.

[0084] Exemplarily, the first number may be configured or preconfigured by the network side device, or may be indicated by the read / write device, or may be determined by the answering device according to the number of resource objects carrying the control command sent by the read / write device.

[0085] It should be noted that the first number may be greater than or equal to 1. In addition, in some optional embodiments, the first number may be understood as the number of resource objects available for parallel transmission by the answering device based on frequency division multiplexing (FDM).

[0086] Step 402: The answering device performs a first operation, where the first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0087] determining whether to transmit information to a read-write device according to the first number and a first random number generated by the answering device;

[0088] A transmission resource is determined from the available resource objects according to the first number and a first random number generated by the response device.

[0089] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first random number can be a random number within a first numerical range, wherein the first numerical range can be agreed upon by a protocol, or can be configured or pre-configured by a network side device, or can be determined according to a counting parameter indicated by a read-write device.

[0090] In some optional embodiments, the value range of the first random number is [0,2 Q -1], wherein Q is a counting parameter received by the answering device from the reading and writing device, and Q is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0091] The above-mentioned answering device determines whether to transmit information to the read-write device according to the first number and the first random number generated by the above-mentioned answering device. Exemplarily, the answering device can determine to transmit information to the read-write device when the first random number meets the preset conditions, that is, the answering device responds to the read-write device. Among them, the above-mentioned preset conditions can include that the first random number is in the second numerical range, or the first random number is less than or equal to the first number, etc. The above-mentioned second numerical range includes N integers in the first numerical range, and N represents the first number. For example, if the above-mentioned first numerical range is [0,15] and N is 3, then the above-mentioned second numerical range can include 3 integers in [0,15]. For example, the above-mentioned second numerical range can include 0, 1 and 2, or the above-mentioned second numerical range can include 1, 2 and 3, or the above-mentioned second numerical range can include 13, 14 and 15.

[0092] The above-mentioned answering device determines the transmission resource from the available resource objects according to the first number and the first random number generated by the answering device. For example, when the first random number is within the second numerical range, the answering device determines a resource object from N resource objects according to the first random number as the transmission resource, where N represents the first number.

[0093] The present embodiment is described below with reference to examples:

[0094] When the answering device receives a query instruction sent by the read-write device, the answering device can determine the number of available resource objects, i.e., the first number, and generate a first random number. When the first random number meets a preset condition, for example, the first random number is less than the first number, the answering device determines the transmission resource from the N available resource objects based on the first random number, and sends RN16 to the read-write device. When the answering device receives an ACK instruction sent by the read-write device, the answering device transmits data to the read-write device based on the transmission resource determined above. The above RN16 is a random number with a length of 16 bits.

[0095] In the transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the answering device determines a first quantity, wherein the first quantity is the number of resource objects available to the answering device, and the resource objects include resources or resource groups; the answering device performs a first operation, and the first operation includes at least one of the following: determining whether to transmit information to the read-write device according to the first quantity and a first random number generated by the answering device; determining a transmission resource from the available resource objects according to the first quantity and the first random number generated by the answering device, that is, in the embodiment of the present application, the answering device determines whether to respond to the read-write device and determines at least one of the transmission resources for transmitting information to the read-write device based on the number of available resource objects and the random number generated by it, so that the number of answering devices that can be counted by the read-write device in one inventory can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of resource objects available to the answering device, thereby improving the flexibility of the read-write device in taking inventory of the answering devices.

[0096] Optionally, the answering device determines whether to transmit information to a read-write device according to the first number and a first random number generated by the answering device, including:

[0097] The response device determines to transmit information to the read-write device when the first random number is smaller than the first quantity.

[0098] In this embodiment, when the first random number is less than the first quantity, information is transmitted to the read-write device, that is, the response device responds to the read-write device. The above-mentioned transmission of information to the read-write device may include transmitting RN16, EPC, packet CRC, etc. to the read-write device.

[0099] It can be understood that since in this embodiment, all answering devices whose random numbers generated are less than the first number can respond to the read-write device, when the first number is greater than 1, more than one answering device can respond to the read-write device in one inventory, which can improve the efficiency of the read-write device in taking inventory of the answering devices.

[0100] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0101] When the first random number is greater than or equal to the first number, the response device determines not to transmit information to the read-write device and waits for at least one of a random number decrement instruction.

[0102] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned random number decrement instruction is used to instruct the answering device to decrement the generated random number. For example, if the current value of the first random number is M, then when the answering device receives the random number decrement instruction, it uses MK as the value of the first random number after the random number is decremented, where K is the random number decrement step.

[0103] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned answering device determines not to transmit information to the read-write device when the first random number is greater than or equal to the first number. For example, the answering device determines not to transmit information to the read-write device in the current inventory when the first random number is greater than or equal to the first number, that is, the answering device does not respond to the read-write device, and in the next inventory, the answering device can regenerate a random number and compare it with the first number; or, the answering device does not transmit information to the read-write device in the current polling of the current inventory, that is, the answering device does not respond to the read-write device, and when the answering device receives a random number decrement instruction, it can decrement the generated random number based on the random number decrement instruction and compare the decremented random number with the first number. If the decremented random number is less than the first number, the answering device can respond to the read-write device.

[0104] In another embodiment, the above-mentioned answering device waits for a random number decrement instruction when the first random number is greater than or equal to the first number, and can, when receiving the random number decrement instruction, decrement the generated random number (i.e., the first random number) based on the random number decrement instruction, and compare the decremented random number with the first number; if the decremented random number is less than the first number, the answering device can respond to the read-write device.

[0105] In another embodiment, when the first random number is greater than or equal to the first number, the above-mentioned answering device determines not to transmit information to the read-write device, that is, not to respond to the read-write device, and waits for the random number decrement instruction, and when receiving the random number decrement instruction, it can decrement the generated random number (that is, the first random number) based on the random number decrement instruction, and compare the decremented random number with the first number, if the decremented random number is less than the first number, the answering device can respond to the read-write device.

[0106] Since each answering device in this embodiment determines to transmit information to the read-write device when the generated random number is less than the first number, and otherwise determines not to transmit information to the read-write device and waits for at least one of the random number decrement instructions, this facilitates controlling the number of answering devices that respond to the read-write device at the same time and reduces conflicts between answering devices.

[0107] In some optional embodiments, when there are at least two answering devices that generate the same random number and are less than the first number, a conflict avoidance mechanism may be executed. Exemplarily, the read-write device may instruct the at least two answering devices that have conflicted to remain silent in the current inventory or no longer respond to the read-write device in the current inventory. For example, when multiple answering devices respond to the read-write device in an inventory, each sends an RN16 random number, the read-write device receives the RN16 sent by the multiple answering devices, and may feed back ACK and the received RN16 to the answering device. When the multiple answering devices receive the ACK and RN16 fed back by the read-write device, the multiple answering devices will The received RN16 is compared with the RN16 generated by it respectively. When the RN16 received by a certain answering device does not include the RN16 generated by it, it is determined that a conflict has been sent. In this case, the answering device where the conflict occurs remains silent in the current inventory or no longer responds to the read-write device in the current inventory. For example, the answering device no longer participates in the subsequent random number decrement process of the current inventory; or, the read-write device can re-initiate the inventory process, that is, trigger all answering devices to regenerate random numbers and compare them with the first number; or, the read-write device can instruct the at least two answering devices where the conflict occurs to wait for different lengths of time before transmitting.

[0108] Optionally, the response device determines the transmission resource from the available resource objects according to the first number and a first random number generated by the response device, including:

[0109] The response device determines the resource object corresponding to the first random number among the N resource objects as the transmission resource;

[0110] Wherein, N is the first number, and the N resource objects are resource objects available to the response device.

[0111] In this embodiment, the correspondence between N resource objects and N random numbers can be pre-defined. For example, the larger the random number, the higher the frequency domain mapping position of the corresponding resource object, or the larger the random number, the lower the frequency domain mapping position of the corresponding resource object. In this way, each answering device can determine the resource object corresponding to the random number generated by it among the N resource objects according to the random number it generates and the above-mentioned correspondence, and use it as the transmission resource of the answering device. This can save indication signaling overhead while reducing the occurrence of resource conflicts between answering devices.

[0112] Optionally, the central frequency point of the resource object may be used as a representation of the frequency domain mapping position of the resource object. For example, the larger the frequency corresponding to the central frequency point of the resource object is, the higher the frequency domain mapping position of the resource object is.

[0113] Optionally, the random number with a value of i corresponds to the i+1th resource object among the N resource objects, or the random number with a value of i corresponds to the Nith resource object among the N resource objects, where i is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than N.

[0114] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned N resource objects can be arranged from high to bottom according to the frequency domain mapping position, or can be arranged from low to high according to the frequency domain mapping position, wherein the larger the random number, the higher the frequency domain mapping position of the corresponding resource object, or the larger the random number, the lower the frequency domain mapping position of the corresponding resource object.

[0115] For example, when N is 4, the random number with a value of 0 corresponds to the first resource object, the random number with a value of 1 corresponds to the second resource object, the random number with a value of 2 corresponds to the third resource object, and the random number with a value of 3 corresponds to the fourth resource object; or, the random number with a value of 0 corresponds to the fourth resource object, the random number with a value of 1 corresponds to the third resource object, the random number with a value of 2 corresponds to the second resource object, and the random number with a value of 3 corresponds to the first resource object.

[0116] For another example, when N is 4, there are four frequency positions that can be mapped. If the random number generated by the answering device is 2, it can be mapped to the second frequency position from top to bottom, or it can be mapped to the second frequency position from bottom to top; if the random number generated by the answering device is 0, it can be mapped to the first frequency position from top to bottom, or it can be mapped to the first frequency position from bottom to top.

[0117] In this embodiment, by making a random number with a value of i correspond to the i+1th resource object among the N resource objects, or making a random number with a value of i correspond to the Nith resource object among the N resource objects, the complexity of resource mapping can be reduced.

[0118] Optionally, the starting position of the available resource object is predefined by a protocol or preconfigured by a network-side device.

[0119] Exemplarily, in the case where the resource object is a frequency domain resource or a frequency domain resource group, the frequency domain starting position of the frequency domain resource or the frequency domain resource group may be predefined by a protocol or preconfigured by a network side device.

[0120] In some optional embodiments, the network side device may pre-configure the starting position of the available frequency domain resource group, the working bandwidth of the answering device, and the size of each frequency domain resource group, so that the answering device can determine the number of frequency domain resource groups, the frequency domain position of each frequency domain resource group and other information based on the above pre-configuration.

[0121] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0122] The answering device determines a target step length according to the first number, where the target step length is a step length used by the answering device to modify a random number.

[0123] Exemplarily, when the target step size is a step size for the answering device to decrement a random number, the target step size may also be referred to as a random number decrement step size. Specifically, when the answering device receives a random number decrement instruction sent by the read-write device, it may decrement the random number based on the target step size.

[0124] Optionally, the target step size is less than or equal to the first number.

[0125] For example, when there are 10 answering devices that receive a query instruction sent by a read-write device, and the random numbers generated by the 10 answering devices are 0-9, if the number of available resource objects is 5, then in the first round of inventory, only the answering devices that generate random numbers from 0 to 4 can transmit information uplink, and the answering devices that generate random numbers from 5 to 9 execute a waiting mechanism. If the step size of the random number modification is 5, then in the second round of inventory, the answering devices that generate random numbers from 5 to 9 will update the random numbers to 0 to 4 respectively. In this case, these 5 answering devices can all transmit information uplink.

[0126] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0127] The answering device receives a control instruction from the reading and writing device;

[0128] The control instruction carries the first quantity, or the first quantity is determined according to a second quantity, and the second quantity is the quantity of resource objects carrying the control instruction.

[0129] In this embodiment, the control instructions may include but are not limited to query (Query) instructions, adjustment query (QueryAdjust) or repeated query (QueryRep) and the like.

[0130] In one implementation, the read / write device may explicitly indicate the first quantity to the answering device, that is, carry the first quantity in the control instruction, so that the answering device can accurately and quickly learn the quantity of available resource objects.

[0131] In another implementation, the first number may be determined based on the number of resource objects that carry the control instructions, which may reduce changes to existing control instructions of the read-write device.

[0132] Exemplarily, a calculation formula for calculating the first quantity based on the second quantity can be agreed in advance, for example, the first quantity is equal to the second quantity + L, or the first quantity is equal to the rounded value of the second quantity / Y, etc., where L is an integer and Y is a positive number. In this way, the first quantity can be quickly determined based on the above second quantity and the calculation formula.

[0133] It should also be noted that the read / write device sends control commands on the downlink frequency resources, and the size of the downlink frequency resources can be configured / preconfigured by the network side device. In addition, the number of downlink resource groups, the size of each resource group, and the frequency domain position of each resource group are all configurable. For example, Figure 5a to Figure 5c As shown, the control command can be carried on a resource group A. In order to facilitate the description of the location of resource group A in the frequency domain, a frequency reference point can be set. The frequency reference point can be a carrier frequency for the read-write device to send an excitation carrier signal, or it can be a virtual reference frequency point. If the read-write device has more frequency resources available at this time, the control command can be carried on multiple resource groups, for example, Figure 5c As shown, it is carried on 4 resource groups.

[0134] Optionally, the first quantity is equal to the second quantity.

[0135] In this embodiment, the first number is equal to the second number, so that the number of resource objects available to the answering device can be conveniently determined based on the number of resource objects carrying the control instruction.

[0136] In some optional embodiments, the first number may be greater than the second number, or the first number may be less than the second number.

[0137] The following examples are used to illustrate this embodiment:

[0138] Case 1: The first quantity is equal to the second quantity.

[0139] If the bandwidth of the resource object carrying the control command is 10 MHz and the bandwidth of each resource object is 2 MHz, there are 5 resource objects, that is, the second number is 5. If the bandwidth available to the answering device is 10 MHz and the bandwidth of each resource object is 2 MHz, the first number is also 5. In this case, the first number is equal to the second number.

[0140] Case 2: The first quantity is greater than the second quantity.

[0141] If the bandwidth of the resource object carrying the control command is 10 MHz and the bandwidth of each resource object is 2 MHz, there are 5 resource objects, that is, the second number is 5. If the bandwidth available to the answering device is 10 MHz and the bandwidth of each resource object is 1 MHz, the first number is 10. In this case, the first number is greater than the second number.

[0142] Case 3: The first quantity is smaller than the second quantity.

[0143] If the bandwidth of the resource object carrying the control command is 10 MHz and the bandwidth of each resource object is 2 MHz, there are 5 resource objects, that is, the second number is 5. If the bandwidth available to the answering device is 5 MHz and the bandwidth of each resource object is 2.5 MHz, the first number is 2. In this case, the first number is smaller than the second number.

[0144] Optionally, the second number is configured or preconfigured by a network side device;

[0145] Alternatively, the second number is carried by the control instruction;

[0146] Alternatively, the second number is obtained by the answering device detecting a resource object carrying the control instruction;

[0147] Alternatively, the second number is determined by a sequence mapped at a preset position of the resource object carrying the control instruction, wherein different sequences correspond to different numbers of resource objects.

[0148] The second number is obtained by the answering device detecting the resource object carrying the control instruction. For example, the answering device may detect the resource object carrying the control instruction at multiple detection points, wherein the multiple detection points are pre-configured or pre-indicated. The following describes the answering device detecting the resource object carrying the control instruction with reference to an example:

[0149] Case 1: When the control command is carried on a resource group, that is, the read-write device sends the control command on a resource group, such as Figure 6a As shown, the answering device performs resource group detection at multiple detection points and successfully detects the control command at detection point 1, such as Figure 6b As shown, at this time, the answering device determines that the number of resource groups sent by the reading and writing device is one, that is, the second number is 1.

[0150] In this case, if the control command also carries a counting parameter Q, the answering device generates a [0,2 Q-1]. For example, when Q is equal to 4, the answering device generates a random number between [0,15]. Since the second number is 1, only the answering device whose generated random number is 0 can respond to the signal sent by the read-write device, such as Figure 6c As shown, the random number generated by the counter of answering device-1 is 0, the random number generated by the counter of answering device-2 is 3, and the random number generated by the counter of answering device-3 is 6. In this case, answering device-1 can respond to the signal sent by the read-write device, while answering device-2 and answering device-3 do not respond for the time being and execute the waiting mechanism.

[0151] Case 2: When the control command sent by the read / write device is carried on 4 resource groups, that is, the read / write device sends the control command on 4 resource groups, such as Figure 7a As shown, the answering device performs resource group detection at multiple detection points, such as Figure 7b As shown, at this time, the answering device determines that the number of resource groups sent by the reading and writing device is 4, that is, the second number is 4.

[0152] In this case, if the control command also carries a counting parameter Q, the answering device generates a [0,2 Q -1]. For example, when Q is equal to 4, the answering device generates a random number between [0,15]. Since the second number is 4, the answering device that generates a random number between 0 and 3 can respond to the signal sent by the read-write device, such as Figure 7c As shown, the random number generated by the counter of answering device-1 is 0, the random number generated by the counter of answering device-2 is 1, the random number generated by the counter of answering device-3 is 4, the random number generated by the counter of answering device-4 is 2, and the random number generated by the counter of answering device-5 is 3. Therefore, answering device-1, answering device-2, answering device-4 and answering device-5 can respond to the read-write device, while answering device-3 does not respond for the time being and executes the waiting mechanism.

[0153] The above-mentioned second number is determined by a sequence mapped at a preset position of the resource object carrying the control instruction, wherein different sequences correspond to different numbers of resource objects. For example, a sequence indicating the above-mentioned second number can be mapped at the start position or end position of each resource object carrying the control instruction, so that each answering device can determine the second number based on the above sequence when it detects the above sequence on any resource object carrying the control instruction. For example, when the read-write device maps control signaling on S resource groups, and the answering device detects the sequence indicating the above-mentioned second number on T resource groups among the S resource groups, T is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to S, the number of resource groups carrying the control instruction can be determined based on the detected sequence, which can reduce the complexity of the answering device detecting the number of resource objects.

[0154] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 It is a flow chart of a transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a read-write device. For the read-write device, please refer to the relevant description of the aforementioned read-write device 12, which will not be repeated here.

[0155] like Figure 8 As shown, the transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0156] Step 801: The read / write device determines a first quantity, wherein the first quantity is the quantity of resource objects available to the answering device, and the resource objects include resources or resource groups.

[0157] Exemplarily, the read-write device can determine the first quantity based on the number of resource objects available to the answering device indicated by the network side device, or the read-write device can determine the number of resource objects available to the answering device based on the resource configuration information or resource pre-configuration information of the answering device. For example, the network side device can configure or pre-configure the working bandwidth of the answering device and the size of each frequency domain resource group, so that the answering device can determine the number of resource groups available to the answering device based on the working bandwidth of the answering device and the size of each frequency domain resource group; or, the read-write device can determine the number of resource objects available to the answering device based on the number of resource objects available to the read-write device.

[0158] Step 802: The read / write device indicates at least one of the first number and a target step length to the answering device, wherein the target step length is a step length used by the answering device to modify a random number, and the target step length is determined according to the first number.

[0159] In one embodiment, the read-write device indicates the first quantity to the answering device. Exemplarily, the read-write device may explicitly send the first quantity to the answering device, or the read-write device may implicitly indicate the first quantity to the answering device. For example, the read-write device indicates the first quantity to the answering device by carrying the number of resource objects controlled.

[0160] Exemplarily, when the answering device obtains the first number indicated by the read-write device, it can determine whether to respond to the read-write device based on the first number and the random number generated by the answering device. For example, if the generated random number is less than the first number, the answering device responds to the read-write device, otherwise, the answering device does not respond and a waiting mechanism is executed.

[0161] In another embodiment, the read / write device indicates a target step size to the answering device, wherein the target step size is determined according to the first number, for example, the target step size may be equal to the first number. Exemplarily, the read / write device may explicitly send the target step size to the answering device, or the read / write device may implicitly indicate the target step size to the answering device, for example, the read / write device indicates the target step size to the answering device through the number of resource objects controlled by the bearer.

[0162] Exemplarily, when the answering device obtains the target step length indicated by the read-write device, if it receives the random number decrement instruction sent by the read-write device, it can subtract the target step length from the generated random number, and determine whether to respond to the read-write device based on the modified random number and the first number. It can be understood that in this case, the first number can be determined by the answering device itself, rather than indicated by the read-write device.

[0163] In another embodiment, the read / write device indicates the first quantity and the target step size to the answering device. Exemplarily, the read / write device may explicitly send the first quantity and the target step size to the answering device, or the read / write device may implicitly indicate the first quantity to the answering device, for example, the read / write device indicates the first quantity and the target step size to the answering device via the number of resource objects controlled by the bearer.

[0164] Exemplarily, when the answering device obtains the first number and the target step length indicated by the read-write device, it can determine whether to respond to the read-write device based on the first number and the random number generated by the answering device. For example, if the generated random number is less than the first number, the answering device responds to the read-write device, otherwise it does not respond to the read-write device and executes the waiting mechanism. If the answering device receives a random number decrement instruction sent by the read-write device, it can subtract the target step length from the generated random number, and determine whether to respond to the read-write device based on the modified random number and the first number.

[0165] In the transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the read-write device determines a first quantity, wherein the first quantity is the number of resource objects available to the answering device, the resource objects include resources or resource groups, and indicates at least one of the first quantity and the target step length to the answering device, wherein the target step length is the step length used for the answering device to modify the random number, and the target step length is determined based on the first quantity, and then the answering device can determine whether to respond to the read-write device based on at least one of the above-mentioned first quantity and the target step length, thereby improving the flexibility of inventory.

[0166] Optionally, the target step size is less than or equal to the first number.

[0167] Optionally, the read / write device indicates at least one of the first number and the target step length to the answering device, including:

[0169] The control instruction carries at least one of the first quantity and the target step size, or at least one of the first quantity and the target step size is indicated by a second quantity, and the second quantity is the quantity of resource objects carrying the control instruction.

[0170] In this embodiment, at least one of the above-mentioned first quantity and the target step length is indicated by a second quantity. For example, the answering device can determine at least one of the above-mentioned first quantity and the target step length by detecting the number of resource objects carrying the control instruction; or, the above-mentioned second quantity can be carried in the control instruction, so that the answering device can determine at least one of the above-mentioned first quantity and the target step length through the second quantity.

[0171] Optionally, the first quantity is equal to the second quantity.

[0172] In this embodiment, the first number is equal to the second number, so that the answering device can conveniently determine the number of resource objects available to the answering device based on the number of resource objects carrying the control instruction.

[0173] In some optional embodiments, the first number may be greater than the second number, or the first number may be less than the second number.

[0174] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0175] The reading and writing device receives the information sent by the answering device on N resource objects respectively;

[0177] In this embodiment, since the number of resource objects available to the answering device is N, N answering devices are allowed to perform uplink transmission on the above N resource objects. Accordingly, the reading and writing devices need to receive the information sent by the answering devices on the above N resource objects respectively, which can improve the efficiency of inventory.
