[0002] Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT), also known as Ambient power-enabled Internet of Things, is an IoT service. An AIoT device is a low-power IoT device with relatively low overall power consumption, including low-power signal reception and low-power signal transmission. Since the overall power consumption is low, the communication energy can be sourced from the environment, such as wind energy, kinetic energy, thermal energy, radio frequency (RF) signals, etc. An AIoT device can also be described as a passive IoT device or a responsive device.

[0003] AIoT tasks need to support operations such as inventory, read, write, and kill on selected specific AIoT devices. Since there are numerous AIoT devices and also numerous selected AIoT devices, in a mobile communication network, it is unclear how to select one or more AIoT devices from a large number of AIoT devices.

[0210] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0211] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are usually of the same category, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "or" in the present application means at least one of the connected objects. For example, "A or B" covers three scenarios, namely, Scenario 1: including A and not including B; Scenario 2: including B and not including A; Scenario 3: including both A and B. The character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0212] The term "indicate" in the present application can be either a direct indication (or an explicit indication) or an indirect indication (or an implicit indication). Among them, a direct indication can be understood as that the sender clearly tells the receiver specific information, operations to be performed, or request results, etc. in the sent indication; an indirect indication can be understood as that the receiver determines the corresponding information according to the indication sent by the sender, or makes a judgment and determines the operations to be performed or request results, etc. according to the judgment result.

[0213] It should be noted that the technology described in the embodiments of this application is not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), or other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of this application are often used interchangeably. The described technology can be used not only in the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, but also in other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes the New Radio (NR) system for example purposes, and the NR terms are used in most of the following descriptions. However, these technologies can also be applied to systems other than the NR system, such as the 6th Generation (6G) communication system. th Generation, 6G) communication system.

[0214] Question 1: Application scenarios of Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT) devices in a mobile communication network. A third-party application can call the services provided by the network and request the reader / interrogator in the network to operate on a group of AIoT devices (such as inventory, read, write, kill, etc.), as Figure 1a shown (the reader can also be a part of the network). Since the matching rules for the AIoT device groups designed by different third-party applications can be different, and currently the proxy of the third-party application (such as the Application Function (AF)) does not support providing the matching rules for the AIoT device groups to the core network device, and the core network also does not support providing the matching rules for the AIoT device groups to the reader / interrogator, it is currently not possible to filter a group of AIoT devices. How to achieve support for filtering a group of AIoT devices is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0215] Problem 2: In the existing network, the Core Network (CN) triggers paging of User Equipment (UE) to the Radio Access Network (RAN) through a Paging message. The paging message contains the identifiers of one or more UEs to be paged, the area where paging is provided, and the paging interval. However, the paging message does not support the matching rules for the AIoT device group mentioned in Problem 1, or, a single group identifier can be used to identify a group of AIoT identifiers. Compared with providing the identifiers of multiple UEs for paging multiple UEs, the single group identifier can be shared by the AIoT devices. Currently, paging of AIoT devices based on a group identifier is not supported, and the UE ID for paging is an essential Information element (IE), and this essential IE cannot be used for screening AIoT devices. How to support paging of AIoT devices based on a group identifier and how to handle the UE ID in the paging message are problems that need to be solved.

[0216] Problem 3: When screening AIoT devices, multiple readers / interrogators may execute the same task simultaneously. After the first reader / interrogator finishes the screening, how to handle the second reader / interrogator executing the same task of screening AIoT devices is a problem that needs to be solved. Additionally, after screening the AIoT devices, read / write operations need to be performed. For AIoT devices that do not meet the matching rules, how to handle subsequent or next signaling (such as read / write operation instructions) is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0217] Figures 1a to 1f The block diagrams of several wireless communication systems to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied are shown.

[0218] As Figure 1a shown, a wireless communication system to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied includes AIoT devices, readers, a network (optional), and a third party (optional). To execute an AIoT task (such as inventory), the reader needs to interact with the AIoT devices.

[0219] In some scenarios, the network and the third party participate in the AIoT task. In other scenarios, the third party participates in the AIoT task. In still other scenarios, the network does not participate in the AIoT task. The network can be further divided into core network devices and access network devices.

[0220] The reader device can also be referred to as an interrogator device, such as a terminal, a relay device, an Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) device, etc. An AIoT device refers to a device that can respond to an AIoT task. As Figure 1aAs shown, the reader device can communicate directly with the AIoT device without the need for an intermediate device. The radio access network device can perform radio resource control for the reader device.

[0221] As Figure 1b shown, a wireless communication system to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied includes a core network device 11, an access network device 12 (or a reader), and an AIoT device 14. The access network device can assume the role of a reader. In some scenarios, the core network device participates, and in other scenarios, the core network device does not participate.

[0222] As Figure 1c 、 Figure 1d and Figure 1e shown, a wireless communication system to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied includes a core network device 11, an access network device 12, an intermediate node 13, and an AIoT device 14.

[0342] Please refer to Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides an operation execution method, which is applied to a first communication device. The first communication device includes but is not limited to one of the following: an access network device (such as a RAN device), a terminal (such as a UE), a reader (also referred to as an interrogator), an intermediate device of the reader. The method includes:

[0343] Step 21: The first communication device obtains first information, where the first information includes at least one of the following: matching information; a first identifier; a second identifier;

[0344] Step 22: The first communication device performs a first operation according to the first information;

[0345] Among them, the first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0346] Screen one or more ambient Internet of Things AIoT devices;

[0347] Discover one or more AIoT devices;

[0348] Send second information;

[0349] Among them,

[0350] The second information includes at least one of the following: matching information; a first identifier; a second identifier;

[0351] Among them,

[0352] The matching information is used to screen or match one or more AIoT devices;

[0353] The first identifier is used to identify one or more AIoT devices;

[0354] The second identifier is used to identify at least one of the following: one or more tasks, one or more sessions, or one or more processes.

[0355] In one implementation, the first communication device includes one of the following: an access network device (such as a RAN device), a terminal (such as a UE), a reader (also referred to as an interrogator), an intermediate device of the reader.

[0356] In one implementation, discovering one or more AIoT devices may also be referred to as paging one or more AIoT devices.

[0357] In one implementation, the sending of the second information may be one of the following: sending the second information to a first interface, broadcasting the second information, sending the second information to a second communication device (such as an AIoT device). The first interface is an interface between the first communication device (such as a reader) and the AIoT device.

[0358] Exemplarily, it can be that the fourth communication device sends an AIoT service request to the third communication device, and the AIoT service request triggers the third communication device to send at least one of matching information, a first identifier, and a second identifier to the fifth communication device; the fifth communication device sends the first message to the first communication device.

[0359] Regarding the third communication device, the fourth communication device, and the fifth communication device, reference can be made to the descriptions of the corresponding embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0360] In one implementation, the first identifier can be a group identifier. It can be understood that one or more AIoT devices identified by the first identifier can be regarded as an AIoT device group, or the first identifier (which can be simply referred to as the group identifier) can be used to identify one or more AIoT devices, and the one or more AIoT devices are an AIoT device group. It is not difficult to understand that the first identifier can be used to screen or match one or more AIoT devices. For example, if it is necessary to screen 10,000 AIoT devices for inventory, it may be necessary to send the identifiers of 10,000 AIoT devices. If there is a common identifier for these 10,000 AIoT devices (that is, the first identifier (subsequently simply referred to as the group identifier) used to identify multiple AIoT devices), then it is sufficient for the first communication device to send one group identifier. It is not difficult to understand that the group identifier used to identify multiple AIoT devices is more suitable for screening a large number of AIoT devices than the identifier used to identify a single AIoT device.

[0361] An AIoT device can use both the identifier of the AIoT device (i.e., the identifier of a single AIoT device) and the first identifier (such as the group identifier).

[0362] In one implementation, one or more tasks, one or more sessions, or one or more processes identified by the second identifier can be used to screen one or more AIoT devices. For example, for an inventory task with a target of 10,000 AIoT devices, since inventory cannot be completed with just one round-trip signaling. During the life cycle of the task, the first communication device may interact with the AIoT devices through multiple signaling messages. The AIoT device may confirm that it is the target AIoT device upon receiving the first signaling message and then continue to interact with the first communication device for other signaling messages of the task. If the AIoT device confirms that it is not the target AIoT device upon receiving the first signaling message and then receives other signaling messages of the task, the AIoT device can ignore them. It is not difficult to understand that the task identifier can also achieve the effect of screening or matching one or more AIoT devices.

[0363] The session or process is one of the manifestations of the task. Sessions, processes, and tasks can be used interchangeably.

[0364] In one implementation, sending the second information to the second communication device may include sending the second information to the AIoT device.

[0365] The second information may be used for at least one of the following:

[0366] Discovering, matching, or filtering one or more AIoT devices;

[0367] Based on whether the matching between the AIoT device and the second information is successful or not, the AIoT device performs or does not perform operations related to the AIoT service;

[0368] Based on whether the matching between the AIoT device and the second information is successful or not, the AIoT device sends a first response, or does not send a first response.

[0369] The operations related to the AIoT service that the AIoT device performs or does not perform based on whether the matching between the AIoT device and the second information is successful or not include:

[0370] When the matching between the AIoT device and the second information is successful, perform operations related to the AIoT service.

[0371] When the matching between the AIoT device and the second information fails, do not perform operations related to the AIoT service.

[0372] The operations related to the AIoT service are as described in the embodiment of the second communication device, and will not be elaborated here.

[0373] Optionally, after sending the second information to the second communication device, the method further includes:

[0374] Receiving a first response sent by the second communication device, where the first response includes at least one of the following: information for identifying the AIoT device, information indicating successful matching, or information indicating failed matching.

[0375] In one implementation, receiving the first response sent by the second communication device may be receiving the first response sent by the AIoT device.

[0376] In one implementation, the information for identifying the AIoT device may include: the identifier of the AIoT device. This identifier can be used to uniquely identify an AIoT device.

[0377] Optionally, the matching information does not include at least one of the following: terminal identifier, first identifier; second identifier.

[0378] In one implementation, the matching information may not include at least one of the following: The terminal identifier may be: UEID (such as UE paging identity (Paging Identity), International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) (such as 5G IMSI), S-Temporary Mobile Subscription Identifier (S-TMSI) (5G-S-TMSI), or Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI)). The UE Paging Identity includes S-TMSI (such as 5G-S-TMS), a first identifier, and a second identifier.

[0379] In one implementation, the matching information is used to filter or match one or more AIoT devices, but the matching information does not include the first identifier and / or the second identifier. It is not difficult to understand that the first identifier or the second identifier can also be used to filter or match information of one or more AIoT devices. However, the matching information contains other information for filtering or matching one or more AIoT devices, such as, but not limited to, at least one of the following: a string, a bit string (such as Bit String), text, a picture, a sound, etc. As long as the AIoT device can match the matching information, it means that the AIoT device is the target AIoT device.

[0380] - One matching or filtering method is that the matching information is stored in the AIoT device. For example, the matching information is "AAA" and the AIoT device also has "AAA", which is a successful match.

[0381] - Another matching or filtering method is that the AIoT device stores information corresponding to the matching information (which may be different from the matching information but corresponds to the matching information). For example, the matching information is "AAA" and the AIoT device has "BBB". Since there is a corresponding relationship between AAA and BBB, it is also a successful match.

[0382] For example, if it is necessary to screen 10,000 AIoT devices for inventory, it may be necessary to send the identifiers of 10,000 AIoT devices. If these 10,000 AIoT devices share one identifier (an identifier used to identify multiple AIoT devices, which will be abbreviated as a group identifier hereinafter), then sending one group identifier is sufficient. It is not difficult to understand that the group identifier used to identify multiple AIoT devices is more suitable for screening a large number of AIoT devices than the identifier used to identify one AIoT device. Similarly, if these 10,000 AIoT devices have common matching information, then sending one piece of matching information is sufficient. It is not difficult to understand that the matching information is more suitable for screening a large number of AIoT devices than the identifier used to identify one AIoT device. Generally speaking, identifiers often need to define fields and formats. However, the form of the matching information is unrestricted and more flexible.

[0383] An example is as follows:

[0384] - But if 5,000 of these 10,000 AIoT devices use apple identifiers, 2,000 AIoT devices use pear identifiers, and 3,000 AIoT devices use orange identifiers. Then the matching information can be more flexible than the identifier. The AIoT devices with pear identifiers save "pear". For example, 1) If you only want to inventory the AIoT devices with pear identifiers, the matching information can be set to "pear". 2) If you want to inventory the AIoT devices with apple and orange identifiers, the matching information can be set to "pear" or "orange". 3) If you want to inventory the AIoT devices with pear and apple identifiers, the matching information can be set to "pear" or "apple". If done through the identifier method, it may be more complex. For example, the AIoT devices with pears need to save the identifier of pear, the identifier of "pear and orange", and the identifier of "pear and apple". Or, the AIoT devices save the identifier of pear or the identifier of orange, and the first communication device sends the identifier of "pear" and the identifier of "orange" to screen for oranges and pears.

[0385] Optionally, at least one of the first information and the second information further includes: location information, and the location information is used to indicate one of the following: the location in the storage of the AIoT device, the location of the matching information or the information corresponding to the matching information in the AIoT device.

[0386] The storage is a function or device for storing information (such as data, files), such as a memory, or a storage device, etc.

[0387] In one implementation, the location in the storage of the AIoT device may refer to a certain storage area in the function or device of the AIoT device for storing information.

[0390] In one implementation, the matching information can also be described as a matching rule.

[0391] In one implementation, the first information may include matching information. The AIoT device can determine whether it is an AIoT device matching the matching information by checking whether the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information exists in the storage area (such as the memory area, storage area) of the AIoT device. For example, when the AIoT device finds the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information in the storage area (such as the memory area, storage area), it determines that it is an AIoT device matching the matching information; otherwise, it determines that it is not an AIoT device matching the matching information.

[0392] In one implementation, the first information may include matching information and location information. The AIoT device can determine whether it is an AIoT device matching the matching information by checking whether the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information exists at the location indicated by the location information in the storage (such as memory or storage). For example, when the AIoT device finds the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information at the location indicated by the location information in the storage, it determines that it is an AIoT device matching the matching information; otherwise, it determines that it is not an AIoT device matching the matching information.

For example, if the matching information is stored in the 3rd bit starting from the position specified by the pointer, the length of the storage area can be 3 bits.

[0397] The storage area is such as a memory area, storage area.

[0398] In one implementation, the bit string is used to match AIoT devices, and the value of the bit string can be customized. In this embodiment, the rules for formulating the bit string are not limited, as long as it can be confirmed by the AIoT device whether there is a match or not (such as the content in the memory corresponding to the bit string), it is considered to conform to the rules for formulating the bit string. The principles of other matching information are the same and will not be elaborated.

[0399] In one implementation, the bit string can be the bit string at the position specified by the start pointer in the specified storage area.

[0400] In one implementation, the file content, file type, or file identifier can be used to indicate the files stored in the AIoT device.

Through the responses of the AIoT devices, the AIoT devices that match the second information can be known, and further operations can be performed on the AIoT devices that match the second information (such as operating on one or a group of AIoT devices).
