Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to an operation execution method and a communication device. Background Technology

[0002] To meet the intelligent needs of the Internet of Things (IoT), Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT), also known as Ambient Power-enabled Internet of Things (AIoT), has been introduced. This is a type of IoT service. A terminal device, such as an AIoT device, is a low-power IoT device. These devices have low overall power consumption, including low-power signal reception and low-power signal transmission. Due to their low overall power consumption, the energy for communication can come from the environment, such as wind power, kinetic energy, heat energy, and radio frequency (RF) signals. AIoT devices can also be described as passive IoT devices or responder devices. AIoT devices are typically in a state without Radio Resource Control (RRC) and do not perform mobility management.

[0003] For passive terminal devices, they cannot actively initiate connection establishment and need to respond to network signaling. However, when the network is paging a passive device, it does not know how many resources to allocate. Some operations involve obtaining information from the terminal device, but the terminal device may not have the information. For example, if 50 out of 1000 terminal devices have data to be sent, then operations on the remaining 950 terminal devices may be a waste of resources.

[0004] Therefore, how to control resources efficiently is still unclear. Summary of the Invention

[0293] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0294] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, without limiting the number of objects; for example, the first object can be one or more. Furthermore, "or" in this application indicates at least one of the connected objects. For example, "A or B" covers three scenarios: Scenario 1: including A but not B; Scenario 2: including B but not A; Scenario 3: including both A and B. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0295] The term "instruction" in this application can be either a direct instruction (or explicit instruction) or an indirect instruction (or implicit instruction). A direct instruction can be understood as one in which the sender explicitly informs the receiver of specific information, the operation to be performed, or the requested result, etc., in the instruction sent. An indirect instruction can be understood as one in which the receiver determines the corresponding information based on the instruction sent by the sender, or makes a judgment and determines the operation to be performed or the requested result, etc., based on the judgment result.

[0296] It is worth noting that the technologies described in this application are 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 this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used in the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as in other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes New Radio (NR) systems for illustrative purposes, and the term NR is used in most of the following description; however, these technologies can also be applied to systems other than NR systems, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0297] For operations on passive terminal devices, the reader / writer needs to send operation signaling to prompt the passive terminal device to respond. However, the following situations exist:

[0298] 1) The number of terminal devices to be inventoried varies, and the required wireless resources also differ. If the approximate number of terminal devices to be inventoried can be determined, the approximate resource requirements can be estimated. Currently, when instructing readers to perform inventory, they do not indicate the approximate number of terminal devices. Therefore, if a large amount of wireless resources are used when the actual number of terminal devices is small, it will lead to a significant waste of resources. Conversely, if a small amount of wireless resources are used when the actual number of terminal devices is large, it will result in the inability to inventory all terminal devices.

[0299] 2) One type of inventory is for DoDTT support. In this case, there is no downlink information to send to the terminal device, and no "normal inventory" (such as obtaining the terminal device's identifier) ​​is needed. It is only used to support the uplink data reported by the terminal device. However, some of the target terminal devices being paged have uplink data to send, while others do not. In the existing inventory method, all target terminal devices being paged need to respond to the corresponding paging, which leads to a waste of uplink resources.

The target terminal device can be the object or target of the first operation (including related operations of the first operation).

[0417] The interface between the first communication device (such as "device that supports communication with terminal devices", reader) and the core network equipment.

[0418] In one implementation, the device that supports communication with the terminal device is one of the following:

[0419] 1) A device that supports communication with a terminal device through a second interface, wherein the second interface is an access layer of the air interface supported by the terminal device;

[0420] 2) Devices that support communication with terminal devices via wireless interfaces;

[0421] 3) Fourth communication device, such as UDM, UDR, NRF, AIoT function, second AIoT function;

[0422] 4) AIoT functionality, second AIoT functionality;

[0423] 5) First AIoT function: AIoT function part directly connected to RAN.

[0424] 6) AMF access management and / or mobility management functions.

[0425] In one implementation, a communication method that involves backscattering or lacks the ability to generate active signals is defined as backscattering on an externally provided carrier wave.

[0426] In one embodiment, the active signal generation refers to the terminal device generating a signal itself.

[0427] Optionally, the first interface can be implemented in the following manner:

[0428] Method 1: Reuse the NG interface. For example, if the base station supports both terminal device (new wireless interface) communication and UE (traditional UU interface) communication, add a new IE to the required information of the NG interface.

[0429] Method 2: Reuse the NG interface. However, if the base station only supports terminal devices (new wireless interface), an instruction can be added to ignore the required IE that already exists but is not applicable to terminal devices, such as Default Paging DRX.

[0430] Method 3: Introduce a new interface, such as the second NG interface.

[0431] In one optional embodiment of the present invention, the second interface is a wireless interface between the "first communication device or reader / writer" and the terminal device. In one embodiment, the second interface may be different from another air interface of the Uu interface or the PC5 interface. In another embodiment, the second interface may be an enhancement of the Uu interface or an enhancement of the PC5 interface.

[0432] In one embodiment of this application, information for indicating and / or filtering terminal devices (such as information for indicating and / or filtering AIoT devices) can be used to indicate and / or filter one or more terminal devices (such as AIoT devices).

[0433] Information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices includes at least one of the following: a terminal device identifier, an identifier for identifying a group of terminal devices (referred to as a group identifier), and matching information, information used to indicate the characteristics of the terminal devices.

[0434] 1. In one embodiment of this application, the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices includes the identifier of the terminal device. In this case, the identifier of one terminal device can specifically refer to one terminal device. The identifiers of multiple terminal devices can specifically refer to multiple terminal devices. It is easy to understand that the identifier of a terminal device can uniquely identify that terminal device and is not shared by other terminal devices.

[0435] 2. In one embodiment of this application, the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices includes an identifier (referred to as a group identifier) ​​for identifying a group of terminal devices. In this case, a group identifier can specifically identify a group of terminal devices. It is easy to understand that the group identifier of a terminal device can uniquely identify that terminal device group and is not shared by other terminal device groups.

[0436] 3. In one embodiment of this application, the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices may not include the identifier of the terminal device. The information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices may include matching information (which may not include the identifier of the terminal device). The matching information may not be unique to each terminal device, but may apply to a group of terminal devices (i.e., one or more terminal devices). Moreover, the number of terminal devices in this group may be uncertain. For example, it may be determined only after the terminal device provides its identifier. When a terminal device has the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information, the terminal device can be considered as the target terminal device (i.e., the terminal device that successfully matches the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, the terminal device of the first operation).

[0437] For example, in case 1, the terminal device stores matching information, such as "AAA". If the matching information is "AAA" and the terminal device also stores "AAA", then the match is successful. It is easy to understand that there may be multiple terminal devices storing "AAA".

[0438] For example, in case 2, the terminal device stores information corresponding to the matching information (this information may be different from the matching information, but it corresponds to it). For instance, if the matching information is "AAA" and the terminal device stores "BBB", since AAA and BBB have a corresponding relationship, it is considered a successful match. It is easy to understand that there may be multiple terminal devices storing "BBB".

[0439] In another implementation, the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices includes the identifier of the terminal device. In this case, the identifier of a single terminal device can specifically refer to one terminal device. Multiple identifiers of different terminal devices can specifically refer to multiple terminal devices. It is easy to understand that the identifier of a terminal device uniquely identifies that terminal device and is not shared by other terminal devices.

[0440] 4. In one embodiment of this application, the information for indicating and / or filtering terminal devices includes information for indicating the characteristics of the terminal devices. Since different terminal devices have different characteristics, the information for indicating the characteristics of the terminal devices can serve to indicate and / or filter terminal devices.

[0441] Optionally, the object requesting the first operation refers to the requester (also known as the client). The requester can be a certificate holder (such as the certificate holder of an AIoT device). There can be one or more objects requesting the first operation.

[0442] In one implementation, the object may be referred to as one of the following: customer, owner, owner, certificate holder (such as the certificate holder of the terminal device).

[0443] In one embodiment of this application, the service area or supported service area is at least one of the following: an area that provides AIoT services, an area that communicates with terminal devices (such as an area that communicates directly), or an area that supports AIoT operation.

[0444] In one implementation, the AIoT service enables the fulfillment of operational needs (such as a first operation) of a client, network, or reader on a terminal device.

[0445] In one implementation, the supported service areas differ from the existing TA (Target Area) list supported by the RAN equipment. Therefore, the supported service areas can be represented using different area information (i.e., area information different from the TA). Alternatively, the currently supported TA list (e.g., the supported TAs in existing NG interface request messages) can be understood as the first TA, and the supported service areas as the second TA. When the RAN equipment simultaneously supports communication with the UE and communication with the terminal equipment, it can provide both the first TA list and the second TA list. The second TA list differs from the first TA list. When the RAN equipment supports communication with the terminal equipment, it can provide the second TA list. That is, the information used to indicate the supported service areas can be the second list.

[0446] The first communication device (such as a reader / writer) can communicate directly with the terminal device or through an intermediate device. Sometimes, when the first communication device is far from the terminal device, it can extend the reader / writer's coverage area through an intermediate device. In this case, the intermediate device is also called a reader / writer or a component of the reader / writer.

[0447] In one embodiment, the intermediate device may be an intermediate node located between the terminal device 11 and other devices (such as access network devices or readers), but is not limited thereto. The intermediate device may extend the coverage of the other devices or assist communication between the terminal device 11 and other network devices (such as access network devices or readers), but is not limited thereto.

[0448] In one implementation, the intermediate device is the device that the terminal needs to communicate with the RAN. The intermediate device may be one of the following: terminal (such as UE), IAB, relay, etc.

It should be understood that if the terminal device provided in this application embodiment adopts backscattering technology, then the terminal device can also be referred to as a backscattering communication device or a backscattering device.

[0583] in,

[0584] The first information includes at least one of the following:

[0585] The purpose of the first operation;

[0586] Information on the number of terminal devices in the first operation;

[0587] The size of the information to be sent to the terminal device;

[0588] The amount of information to be sent to the terminal device;

[0589] The size of the information to be acquired or received from the terminal device;

[0590] The amount of information to be acquired or received from the terminal device;

[0591] The third information is used for one of the following: obtaining the fourth information in the terminal device, obtaining the information to be sent in the terminal device, requesting to receive information from the terminal device, or requesting the terminal device to send the information to be sent.

[0592] Information used to indicate the existence or non-existence of a first requirement, or information used to indicate a first requirement;

[0593] Information used to indicate the presence or absence of a second requirement, or information used to indicate a second requirement;

[0596] Information used to describe a first condition, which indicates a condition for immediately ending interaction with the terminal device;

[0597] in,

[0598] The second information is used to indicate one of the following:

[0599] The terminal device may or may not have information to be sent.

[0600] The terminal device may or may not have the information that is requested.

[0601] The terminal device may or may not have fourth information;

[0602] in,

[0603] The fifth piece of information includes at least one of the following:

[0604] Information used to indicate the conditions under which the terminal device responds, or information used to indicate the conditions under which the terminal device does not respond;

[0605] Information used to instruct and / or filter terminal devices;

[0606] Information used to indicate the existence or non-existence of a first requirement, or information used to indicate a first requirement;

[0607] Information used to indicate the presence or absence of a second requirement, or information used to indicate a second requirement;

[0608] Third information;

[0609] Information used to indicate the purpose of the first operation.

[0610] In this embodiment of the application, the first communication device includes: a reader / writer, an intermediate device, a radio access network (RAN) device, a user equipment (UE), etc.

[0611] It's easy to understand that some paging or queries from the first communication device don't require a response from all terminal devices, such as DoDTT (uplink information transmission triggered by downlink signaling). The first communication device may not have any downlink data to send.

[0612] As an optional embodiment, the fourth information is information from one or more terminal devices.

[0613] In at least one embodiment of this application, the purpose of the first operation includes a first purpose and / or a second purpose;

[0614] The first objective includes at least one of the following:

[0615] Upward or only upward;

[0616] Traffic initiated by a terminal device, wherein the traffic initiated by the terminal device is triggered by traffic, signaling or data terminating at the terminal device;

[0617] Used to trigger the terminal device to send information;

[0618] Used to acquire or receive information from terminal devices;

[0619] in,

[0620] The second objective includes at least one of the following:

[0621] Downward;

[0622] Used to obtain the identifier of the terminal device;

[0623] Traffic used to terminate at the terminal device;

[0624] It should be noted that traffic initiated by the terminal device is triggered by traffic, signaling, or data that terminates at the terminal device, which can be called DoDTT: Device-originated-device-terminated triggered (DO-DTT). For example, "The device originated traffic is triggered by the device terminated traffic or signaling."

[0625] Traffic that terminates at a terminal device can be called DT (Device-terminated, e.g., The traffic is terminated at the AIoT device).

[0626] It is easy to understand that in one implementation, the terminal device is a passive device, so it cannot directly send information. The purpose of the first operation is to receive information from the terminal device, which can be expressed as sending an operation command (such as paging) to enable the terminal device to connect and receive information from the terminal device.

[0627] The purpose of the first operation can also be understood as one of the following: the type of the first operation, or the use of the first operation. Therefore, the first purpose can also be understood as the first type or the first use. The second purpose can also be understood as the second type or the second use.

[0628] In at least one embodiment of this application, the first requirement includes at least one of the following:

[0629] Requirements for operating terminal devices;

[0630] The need to send information to terminal devices;

[0631] There is a need for information to be sent to the terminal device;

[0632] It is necessary to take stock of the demand for terminal equipment;

[0633] The need to obtain the identifier of the terminal device;

[0634] Alternatively, in yet another optional embodiment of this application, the second requirement includes at least one of the following:

[0635] The need to obtain fourth information from terminal devices;

[0636] The need to obtain information to be sent from the terminal device;

[0637] The requirement to receive information from terminal devices;

[0638] The requirement for terminal devices to send the information to be sent.

[0639] As an optional embodiment, the terminal device response condition satisfies at least one of the following:

[0640] The terminal device response conditions, together with information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, are used to indicate whether the terminal device responds or does not respond.

[0641] The terminal device response conditions include at least one of the following:

[0642] The terminal device conforms to the information used to instruct and / or filter the terminal device;

[0643] The terminal device contains information that needs to be sent or received.

[0644] Terminal devices possess fourth information;

[0645] The terminal device receives third-party information;

[0646] The terminal device receives the first signaling;

[0647] Alternatively, as another optional embodiment, the terminal device does not respond if at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0648] The terminal device non-response condition, together with information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, is used to indicate whether the terminal device responds or does not respond.

[0649] The terminal device does not respond under at least one of the following conditions:

[0650] The terminal device does not conform to the information used to indicate and / or screen terminal devices;

[0651] The terminal device does not have any information to be sent or received;

[0652] Terminal devices do not possess fourth information;

[0653] The terminal device receives third-party information;

[0654] The terminal device received the first signaling.

[0655] In one embodiment, the terminal device response conditions, together with information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, are used to indicate whether the terminal device responds or does not respond. This means that for terminals that meet the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, it is also necessary to additionally determine whether to respond or not based on the terminal device response conditions.

[0656] In one embodiment, the terminal device non-response condition, together with the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, is used to indicate whether the terminal device responds or does not respond. This means that for terminals that meet the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, it is also necessary to additionally determine whether to respond or not based on the terminal device non-response condition.

[0657] In at least one optional embodiment of this application, the information used to indicate and / or screen the terminal device includes at least one of the following: the terminal device has information to be sent or to be acquired; the terminal device has fourth information.

[0658] Information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices can be used to indicate and / or filter the terminal devices of the first operation. The terminal device of the first operation can be referred to as the target terminal device of the first operation.

[0659] In one implementation, only terminal devices that meet the criteria of "information used to instruct and / or filter terminal devices" are required to respond to the first signaling, while terminal devices that do not meet the criteria of "information used to instruct and / or filter terminal devices" are not required to respond to the first signaling.

[0660] The "information for indicating and / or filtering terminal devices" includes: the presence of information to be sent or acquired (or information in the cache) on the terminal device can indicate that a terminal device does not have information to be sent or acquired, and a terminal device that does not have information to be sent or acquired does not need to respond to the first signaling, or does not belong to the terminal device that matches the "information for indicating and / or filtering terminal devices".

[0661] Similarly, the "information for indicating and / or filtering terminal devices" includes: the terminal device has fourth information that can indicate that the terminal device does not have fourth information and does not need to respond to the first signaling, or does not belong to the terminal devices that match the "information for indicating and / or filtering terminal devices".

[0662] In one scenario, the first communication device or network has no primary need for the terminal device (e.g., no need to operate the terminal device, such as no information to be sent to the terminal device or no need to inventory the terminal device), but the terminal device has information to be sent or acquired. In one implementation, the terminal device is a passive device and cannot actively establish a connection to send or acquire the information; it needs to receive a first signaling message or (e.g., a paging message) from the first communication device or network before it can send or acquire the information.

[0663] Therefore, the first communication device can periodically poll (e.g., send a paging message) the terminal devices. However, the first communication device does not know whether the terminal devices have any information to be sent or received. For example, if there are 1000 terminal devices, and only 10 terminal devices generate information to be sent or received, or fourth information, then all 1000 terminal devices responding will inevitably lead to resource contention and waste. An optimized approach is for only 10 terminal devices to respond. Another optimized approach is for all 1000 terminal devices to still respond, but indicate whether there is any information to be sent or received; the first communication device can immediately terminate the interaction of terminal devices that do not have any information to send or receive.

[0664] The information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices also includes other information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, such as the first terminal device matching other information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices, but the first terminal device does not have information to be sent or does not have the fourth information. In one implementation, the first terminal device may not respond. The first terminal device may be a single terminal device.

[0665] In another scenario, the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices does not include at least one of the following: the terminal device has information to be sent or acquired; the terminal device has fourth information.

[0666] Therefore, when a terminal device meets the information used to instruct and / or filter terminal devices, the terminal device also needs to refer to other information (information used to instruct the terminal device not to respond) to determine whether to respond or not.

[0667] As an optional embodiment, the number of terminal devices in the first operation is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0668] The terminal device of the first operation may or may not be a terminal device;

[0669] The number of terminal devices;

[0670] The range of the number of terminal devices.

[0671] It should be noted that the terminal device in the first operation can be one of the following: a terminal device that needs to respond to the signaling related to the first operation, or a terminal device that conforms to the information used to instruct and / or filter terminal devices in the first operation. It is easy to understand that in one embodiment, the first communication device does not know the number of terminal devices in the first operation before receiving the response from the terminal device in the first operation. Knowing the approximate number of terminal devices in the first operation in advance is beneficial for resource allocation. For example, whether to allocate non-contested resources or contested resources. In the case of contested resource allocation, the configuration of the contesting mechanism is crucial. For example, the allocation of 1000 devices competing for 10 resources (such as randomly accessed resources) may be different from that of 50 devices competing for 10 resources.

[0672] In at least one embodiment of this application, the configuration resources include at least one of the following: configuring resources for a first operation, and configuring resources for a reader or a communication device performing the first operation.

[0673] In at least one embodiment of this application, determining the required resources includes one of the following instructions: determining the resources required for a first operation, or determining the resources required for a reader or communication device performing the first operation.

[0674] In at least one embodiment of this application, performing the first operation includes one of the following:

[0675] Determine the resources needed;

[0676] Controlling resource allocation;

[0677] Send the fifth message to the terminal device;

[0678] Send a first signaling message to the terminal device, the first signaling message carrying the fifth information;

[0679] in,

[0680] The fifth piece of information includes at least one of the following:

[0681] Information used to indicate the conditions under which the terminal device responds, or information used to indicate the conditions under which the terminal device does not respond;

[0682] Information used to instruct and / or filter terminal devices;

[0683] Information used to indicate the existence or non-existence of a first requirement, or information used to indicate a first requirement;

[0684] Information used to indicate the presence or absence of a second requirement, or information used to indicate a second requirement;

[0685] Third information;

[0686] The purpose of the first operation.

[0687] As an optional embodiment, the first signaling satisfies one of the following:

[0688] Signaling used for at least one of the following: discovering terminal devices, paging terminal devices, querying terminal devices, filtering terminal devices, inventorying terminal devices, and obtaining information about terminal devices;

[0689] or,

[0690] The first signaling includes at least one of the following: a discovery signaling for a terminal device, a paging signaling for a terminal device, a query signaling for a terminal device, a filtering signaling for a terminal device, an inventory signaling for a terminal device, and an information acquisition signaling for a terminal device.

[0691] Among them, the signaling for obtaining information from terminal devices can also be called reading signaling.

[0692] Obtaining information from a terminal device can also be referred to as a read operation.

[0693] The first signaling can be AS layer signaling or NAS layer signaling.

[0694] The AS layer signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling (which may be called RRC message), MAC layer signaling (such as MACCE), and physical layer signaling. The first type of signaling may be a paging message.

[0695] In one embodiment, the paging message is a paging message for the terminal device, which is different from a traditional paging message.

[0696] The first signaling may be one of the following: discovery signaling, paging signaling, query signaling, filtering signaling, inventory signaling, information retrieval signaling, etc.

[0713] The purpose of the first operation is not only the first purpose, or the purpose of the first operation does not include the first purpose.

[0714] In one implementation, the immediate termination of interaction with the terminal device may mean one of the following: the first communication device stops interacting with the terminal device and switches to processing other terminal devices.

[0715] In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0716] If the third condition is met, the first signaling or the fifth information includes information for instructing and / or filtering terminal devices; wherein, the information for instructing and / or filtering terminal devices includes at least one of the following: the terminal device has information to be sent or to be acquired, and the terminal device has fourth information.

[0732] The information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices is obtained, and the information used to indicate and / or filter terminal devices includes at least one of the following: the terminal device has information to be sent or to be obtained, and the terminal device has fourth information.

It is also easy to understand whether the information pertains to the terminal device in the first operation is useful.

In this embodiment, the first communication device performs resource control based on the number of terminal devices and / or the terminal devices' pending transmission information, thereby improving resource utilization.

[0775] Please refer to Figure 3 This invention provides an operation execution method applied to a second communication device. The second communication device includes, but is not limited to, a terminal device, and the method includes:

[0776] Step 301: The second communication device performs the second action or the third action;

[0777] The execution of the second action includes at least one of the following:

[0778] Receive the first signaling;

[0779] Send a second message, which indicates one of the following: the terminal device has or does not have information to be sent; the terminal device has or does not have the information that is requested to be obtained; the terminal device has or does not have a fourth message.

[0780] in,

[0781] The execution of the third action includes at least one of the following:

[0786] Information used to instruct and / or filter terminal devices;

[0787] Information used to indicate the existence or non-existence of a first requirement, or information used to indicate a first requirement;

[0788] Information used to indicate the presence or absence of a second requirement, or information used to indicate a second requirement;

[0789] The purpose of the first operation;

[0790] The third information is used for one of the following: obtaining the fourth information in the terminal device, obtaining the information to be sent in the terminal device, requesting to receive information from the terminal device, or requesting the terminal device to send the information to be sent.

[0791] Optionally, the response to the first signaling includes at least one of the following: initiating random access, competing for random access resources, and sending a response to the first signaling.

[0792] Optionally, no response indicates inaction.

[0793] In one implementation, for information that conforms to the instructions and / or screening of terminal devices, an additional fifth piece of information is used to determine whether to respond to or not to the first signaling.

[0794] In another implementation, the terminal device determines whether to respond to the first signaling based on whether the information conforms to or does not conform to the information used to instruct and / or filter the terminal device.

[0795] In one implementation, the default behavior of the terminal upon receiving the first signaling is to respond.

[0796] Sending the second information includes sending the second information to the first communication device or the third communication device.

[0797] For example, sending second information to a first communication device via AS signaling. Or sending second information to a third communication device via signaling above the AS.

[0798] It is easy to understand that some paging or querying by the first communication device does not require a response from all terminal devices, such as DoDTT (the transmission of uplink information triggered by downlink signaling).

[0799] In at least one embodiment of this application, the purpose of the first operation includes a first purpose and / or a second purpose;

[0800] The first objective includes at least one of the following:

[0807] Downward;

[0808] Used to obtain the identifier of the terminal device;

[0811] It should be noted that traffic initiated by the terminal device is triggered by traffic, signaling, or data that terminates at the terminal device, which can be called DoDTT: Device-originated-device-terminated triggered (DO-DTT). For example, "The device originated traffic is triggered by the device terminated traffic or signaling."
