Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of wireless communication technology, specifically relating to an operation execution method, apparatus, communication device, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT), also known as Ambient Power-enabled Internet of Things (AIoT), is a type of IoT service. AIoT devices are low-power IoT devices, characterized by low overall power consumption, including low-power signal reception and transmission. Due to their low overall power consumption, the energy for communication can be derived 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 responding devices.

[0003] How operating devices (such as readers) and core network equipment cooperate and exchange information with terminals (such as AIoT devices) may involve multiple rounds. Furthermore, the sheer number of AIoT devices makes traditional user equipment (UE)-based information exchange unsuitable. How to support the exchange of terminal (such as AIoT device) related information between communication devices remains unclear.

[0004] In related technologies, when a communication device is used as an operating device, it can only obtain resources by connecting to a base station that supports allocating resources for the operating device; however, it is currently unclear how this support is provided. Furthermore, it is unclear under what circumstances a communication device is configured as an operating device, and under what circumstances resources are allocated to the operating device or the person performing the action. Therefore, how to achieve control of the operating device is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

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.

[0180] 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 with the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as with 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) radio systems. th Generation 6G communication system.

[0181] like Figure 1a As shown, a base station operating device may be designed as an AIoT radio access system supporting multiple operating devices. The AIoT radio access system can support at least one operating device. A UE can join an AIoT RAS, including the following two scenarios:

[0182] Case 1: As Figure 1b As shown, the coverage of one of the operating devices can be extended, acting as a relay for that operating device. The number of operating devices in AIoT RAS is not increased, but the operating device relay is enhanced.

[0183] Case 2: For example Figure 1c As shown, when AIoT RAS is added as an independent operating device, AIoT RAS will have an additional relay.

[0184] The following issues still need to be addressed:

[0185] Question 1: When a terminal acts as an operating device, it can only obtain resources by connecting to a base station that supports allocating resources for operating devices. How the terminal can determine which base stations support allocating resources for operating devices or for AIoT tasks is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0186] Question 2: Since passive AIoT devices do not pre-register with the operating device, the operating device needs to carry its operating device ID when sending a paging message so that the AIoT device can select the operating device's random access resources. Currently, how the terminal obtains the operating device ID in Case 1 and Case 2, and what the operating device ID is, are the issues that need to be addressed.

[0187] Question 3: How to determine the timing of allocating resources to the UE is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0188] like Figure 1d As shown, terminal-type operating devices may need to collaborate with other operating devices, sharing a common time-frequency resource. Tag AIoT devices, however, are simpler, only able to listen to messages from one operating device on a single frequency. Therefore, it is more reasonable to activate the resource after the AIoT task is issued. Thus, the corresponding resource should be activated after the task is completed.

[0189] Question 4: How to activate the UE as an operating device is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0190] Question 5: Since the UE may move, determining the validity of the operating device or allocated resources as a terminal is a problem that needs to be solved. For example... Figure 1e Operating devices (such as readers) (such as operating device C) may move within a restricted area.

It can also be understood as a device that communicates with the tag, such as a terminal (e.g., UE), a base station, or a device with read / write capabilities, such as an operating device (e.g., a reader / writer); the specifics are not limited here.

[0314] 1.1.5 First Interface

[0315] In one implementation, the first interface includes at least one of the following:

[0316] Unlike the existing NG interface between RAN and CN,

[0317] The interface between the first communication device (such as "device that supports communication with terminal devices", or operating device (such as a reader / writer)) and the AIoT function;

[0318] The interface between the first communication device (such as "device supporting communication with terminal devices", operating device (such as reader / writer)) and the AMF function;

[0319] The interface between the first communication device (such as "device that supports communication with terminal devices", or operating device (such as a reader / writer)) and the core network device.

[0320] In one implementation, the device that supports communication with the terminal device is one of the following:

[0321] 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;

[0322] 2) Devices that support communication with terminal devices via wireless interfaces;

[0323] 3) Fourth communication device, such as UDM, UDR, NRF, AIoT function, second AIoT function;

[0324] 4) AIoT functionality, second AIoT functionality;

[0325] 5) First AIoT function: AIoT function part directly connected to RAN.

[0326] 6) AMF access management and / or mobility management functions.

[0327] 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.

[0328] In one embodiment, the active signal generation refers to the terminal device generating a signal itself.

[0329] Optionally, the first interface can be implemented in the following manner:

[0330] 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.

[0331] 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.

[0332] Method 3: Introduce a new interface, such as the second NG interface.

[0333] 1.1.6 Second Interface

[0334] In one optional embodiment of the present invention, the second interface is a wireless interface between the "first communication device or operating device (such as a 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.

[0335] 1.1.7 Information used for filtering terminal devices

[0336] In one embodiment of this application, information for filtering terminal devices (such as information for filtering AIoT devices) can be used to instruct and / or filter one or more terminal devices (such as AIoT devices).

[0337] The information used to filter terminal devices includes at least one of the following: the identifier of the terminal device, the identifier used to identify a group of terminal devices (referred to as group identifier), and matching information, which indicates the characteristics of the terminal devices.

[0338] 1. In one embodiment of this application, the information used for filtering terminal devices includes the identifier of the terminal device. Here, 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 can uniquely identify that terminal device and is not shared by other terminal devices.

[0339] 2. In one embodiment of this application, the information used for filtering 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 refer to 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.

[0340] 3. In one embodiment of this application, the information used for filtering terminal devices may not include the identifier of the terminal device. The information used for filtering 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 necessary to determine the identifier of the terminal device after it has been fed back by the terminal device. When a terminal device has the matching information or has 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 for filtering terminal devices, the terminal device of the first operation).

[0341] 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".

[0342] 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".

[0343] In another implementation, the information used to filter terminal devices includes the identifier of the terminal device. In this case, a single terminal device identifier can specifically identify one terminal device. Multiple terminal device identifiers can specifically identify 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.

[0344] 4. In one embodiment of this application, the information for filtering terminal devices includes information indicating the characteristics of the terminal devices. Since different terminal devices have different characteristics, the information indicating the characteristics of the terminal devices can serve to indicate and / or filter terminal devices.

[0345] 1.1.8 The object requesting the first operation

[0346] 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.

[0347] 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).

[0348] 1.1.9 Service Area

[0349] In one embodiment of this application, the region (such as a first region, a second region, a third region, etc.) includes a service area.

[0350] 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 operations.

[0351] In one implementation, the AIoT service enables clients, networks, or operating devices (such as readers) to perform operations on terminal devices (such as a first operation).

[0352] 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 TAs). Alternatively, the currently supported TA list (e.g., the supported TA list 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.

[0353] 1.1.10 Intermediate Equipment

[0354] The first communication device (such as an operating 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 coverage of the operating device (such as a reader / writer) through an intermediate device. In this case, the intermediate device is also referred to as the operating device (such as a reader / writer) or as a component of the operating device (such as a reader / writer).

[0355] 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 operating devices (such as 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 operating devices (such as readers)), but is not limited thereto.

[0842] Optionally, the operating device includes at least one of the following: a first type of operating device, a second type of operating device, and a relay operating device;

[0843] in,

[0844] The first type of operating device satisfies at least one of the following:

[0846] It has its own operating equipment information;

[0848] Able to work independently;

[0849] The information received by the first type of operating device from the terminal device is not visible to the first communication device or the first operating device;

[0850] Controlled, configured, and managed by third-party communication equipment or core network equipment;

[0851] in,

[0852] The relay operating equipment or the second type of operating equipment meets at least one of the following:

[0866] For operating equipment that is relayed by a Class II operating device,

[0867] It is a Class I operating device; Operating equipment in the form of a base station. The statement that the device is not visible to the third communication device can be interpreted in one of the following ways: the second type of operating device is not visible to the third communication device when it is activated or deactivated, or the second type of operating device is not visible to the third communication device when it performs or does not perform the first task. It's easy to understand that the third communication device can still authorize the second communication device as an operating device or a second type of operating device, sending information indicating permission for the second communication device to act as an operating device or a second type of operating device to the first communication device. However, the subsequent activation of the second communication device as a second type of operating device by the first communication device can be invisible to the third communication device. Similarly, the subsequent setting of the second communication device as a non-second type of operating device can also be invisible to the third communication device. Similarly, the first communication device can send a first task to the third operating device, requesting the third operating device to execute the first task. The first communication device can also activate a second type of operating device to execute the first task. This can also be invisible to the third communication device. A Layer 3 relay operating device can also be called an operating device Layer 3 relay. A Layer 2 relay operating device can also be called an operating device Layer 2 relay. Both essentially function as relays. For example, in terms of communication distance, if a terminal device cannot reach a third operating device or a first communication device, it can indirectly access the third operating device or the first communication device through the relay. In one implementation, for a Layer 3 relay, the information of the terminal device is not visible to the third operating device or the first communication device. In one implementation, for a Layer 2 relay, the information of the terminal device is visible to the second operating device or the first communication device. The operating device may be referred to as a UE operating device (such as a reader / writer). The first type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) can be referred to as an independent operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a layer-3 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer). The second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) can be called an operating device (such as a reader / writer) relay, or a relay operating device (such as a reader / writer) (relay operating device), or a layer 2 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer). In one embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader) is, for example, an operating device in the form of a base station (such as a reader). In another embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader) can also be an operating device in the form of a terminal (such as a UEreader). The third operating device (such as a reader / writer) is an operating device (such as a reader / writer). In one embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) is a first-type operating device (such as a reader / writer). In one embodiment, after the second communication device is configured as an operating device, the second communication device can be referred to as the second operating device. The second operating device can be either a first type of operating device or a second type of operating device. The first type of operating device and the second type of operating device are different types of operating devices. In one implementation, the operating device in the first type of operating device is added as an independent operating device to the Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT) RAS, thus adding an operating device (such as a reader / writer) to the AIoT RAS. In one implementation, the operating devices in the second type of operating devices can extend the coverage of an operating device in the AIoT RAS, acting as a relay for that operating device. The number of operating devices in the AIoT RAS is not increased, but the operating device relay is enhanced. In one embodiment, the first type of operating device may also be referred to as a user equipment (UE) operating device; the second type of operating device may be referred to as an operating device relay. Terminal-type operating devices (such as readers) can include either Class I operating devices (such as readers) or Class II operating devices. Reading and writing of base station categories can include the first type of operating equipment.

[1031] in,

[1032] The relay operating equipment or the second type of operating equipment meets at least one of the following:

The third operating device (such as a reader / writer) satisfies at least one of the following: For operation devices (such as readers) that are relayed by Class II operation devices (such as readers), Class I operating devices (such as readers); Operating devices in the form of base stations (such as readers). The phrase "invisible to the third communication device" can mean one of the following: the second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) is not visible to the third communication device when it is activated or deactivated; or the second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) is not visible to the third communication device when it performs or does not perform the first task. It's easy to understand that the third communication device can still authorize the second communication device as an operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a second-type operating device (such as a reader / writer), sending information indicating permission for the second communication device to act as an operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a second-type operating device (such as a reader / writer) to the first communication device. However, the subsequent activation of the second communication device as a second-type operating device (such as a reader / writer) by the first communication device can be invisible to the third communication device. Similarly, the subsequent setting of the second communication device to not act as a second-type operating device (such as a reader / writer) can also be invisible to the third communication device. Similarly, the first communication device can send a first task to the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) requesting the third operating device to execute the first task. The first communication device can also activate a second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) to execute the first task. This can also be invisible to the third communication device. A Layer 3 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer) can also be called an operating device (such as a reader / writer) Layer 3 relay. A Layer 2 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer) can also be called an operating device (such as a reader / writer) Layer 2 relay. Both essentially function as relays. For example, in terms of communication distance, if a terminal device cannot reach a third operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a first communication device, it can indirectly access the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) or the first communication device through the relay. In one implementation, for a Layer 3 relay, the information of the terminal device is not visible to a third operating device (such as a reader) or a first communication device. In one implementation, for a Layer 2 relay, the information of the terminal device is visible to a second operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a first communication device. The operating device (such as a reader / writer) may be referred to as a UE operating device (such as a reader / writer) operating device. The first type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) can be referred to as an independent operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a layer-3 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer). The second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) can be called an operating device (such as a reader / writer) relay, or a relay operating device (such as a reader / writer) (relay operating device), or a layer 2 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer). In one embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) is, for example, an operating device in the form of a base station. In another embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) can also be an operating device in the form of a terminal. The third operating device (such as a reader / writer) is an operating device (such as a reader / writer). In one embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) is a first-type operating device (such as a reader / writer).

[1066] In one embodiment, the second interface may be different from another port 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.

[1067] Passive communication means that information is only responded to or sent when triggered by downlink signaling or traffic. It's easy to understand that devices that only support passive communication can only be triggered by other devices; they will not actively select a network or actively camp on a cell.

[1068] In another embodiment, the terminal device can be an active communication terminal device. That is, it is not excluded that the operating device performs operations such as inventory, reading, writing, disabling, or positioning on the active communication terminal device.

[1069] In this embodiment of the application, the control of the operating device can be achieved through the second behavior of the second communication device.

[1070] Furthermore, by having the first communication device (e.g., a base station) send first information to the second communication device via a wireless interface, the problem of how the second communication device (e.g., a UE) learns which base stations support the allocation of resources for operating devices or AIoT tasks can be addressed. Alternatively, by having the first or third communication device (e.g., a core network device) configure an operating device ID for the second communication device, the problem of how the second communication device (e.g., a UE) obtains the operating device ID can be solved. Alternatively, by adding regional and time-sensitivity to the second communication device (e.g., a UE) as an operating device through a first valid time, a first valid area, the valid time of a first resource, or the valid area of ​​a first resource, the problem of how to determine the validity of the operating device or the allocated resources as a terminal can be solved.

[1186] The relay operating equipment or the second type of operating equipment meets at least one of the following:

[1187] Layer 2 relay of the first communication equipment or base station operating equipment;

[1190] Messages used for filtering, inventorying, or paging one or more terminal devices contain information about third-party operating devices or relay operating devices.

[1196] The information received by the second type of operating device from the terminal device is visible to the first communication device or the first operating device;

[1197] The second type of operating device is not visible to the third communication device.

[1198] In one embodiment, the first type of operating device can be referred to as an independent operating device.

[1199] In one embodiment, the second type of operating device may be referred to as an operating device relay or a relay operating device.

[1200] The third operating device (such as a reader / writer) satisfies at least one of the following: For operation devices (such as readers) that are relayed by Class II operation devices (such as readers), Class I operating devices (such as readers); Operating devices in the form of base stations (such as readers). The phrase "invisible to the third communication device" can mean one of the following: the second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) is not visible to the third communication device when it is activated or deactivated; or the second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) is not visible to the third communication device when it performs or does not perform the first task. It's easy to understand that the third communication device can still authorize the second communication device as an operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a second-type operating device (such as a reader / writer), sending information indicating permission for the second communication device to act as an operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a second-type operating device (such as a reader / writer) to the first communication device. However, the subsequent activation of the second communication device as a second-type operating device (such as a reader / writer) by the first communication device can be invisible to the third communication device. Similarly, the subsequent setting of the second communication device to not act as a second-type operating device (such as a reader / writer) can also be invisible to the third communication device. Similarly, the first communication device can send a first task to the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) requesting the third operating device to execute the first task. The first communication device can also activate a second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) to execute the first task. This can also be invisible to the third communication device. A Layer 3 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer) can also be called an operating device (such as a reader / writer) Layer 3 relay. A Layer 2 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer) can also be called an operating device (such as a reader / writer) Layer 2 relay. Both essentially function as relays. For example, in terms of communication distance, if a terminal device cannot reach a third operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a first communication device, it can indirectly access the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) or the first communication device through the relay. In one implementation, for a Layer 3 relay, the information of the terminal device is not visible to a third operating device (such as a reader) or a first communication device. In one implementation, for a Layer 2 relay, the information of the terminal device is visible to a second operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a first communication device. The operating device (such as a reader / writer) may be referred to as a UE operating device (such as a reader / writer) operating device. The first type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) can be called an independent operating device (such as a reader / writer) or a layer 3 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer). The second type of operating device (such as a reader / writer) can be called an operating device (such as a reader / writer) relay, or a relay operating device (such as a reader / writer) (relay operating device), or a layer 2 relay operating device (such as a reader / writer). In one embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) is, for example, an operating device in the form of a base station. In another embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) can also be an operating device in the form of a terminal.

[1201] The third operating device (such as a reader / writer) is an operating device (such as a reader / writer). In one embodiment, the third operating device (such as a reader / writer) is a first-type operating device (such as a reader / writer).

[1202] 1.26 Beneficial Effects

[1203] In the embodiments of this application, the control of the operating device can be achieved through the third action of the third communication device.

[1204] Furthermore, configuring an operating device ID for the second communication device by a third communication device (such as a core network device) can solve the problem of how the second communication device (such as a UE) obtains the operating device ID. Alternatively, the third communication device (such as a core network device) can send information to the first communication device requesting the configuration of a first resource for the second communication device when certain conditions are met, which can solve the problem of determining the timing for allocating resources to the second communication device (such as a UE). Executing a third action by the third communication device can solve the problem of activating the second communication device as an operating device. Alternatively, by using a first valid time, a first valid area, the valid time of a first resource, or the valid area of ​​a first resource to add regional and time-sensitivity to the second communication device (such as a UE) as an operating device, the problem of determining the validity of the operating device or the allocated resources as a terminal can be solved.

[1233] Step (3b): The CN device determines the terminal's subscription information and allows the UE to become an operating device. The CN device then assigns an operating device ID to the terminal.

[1234] The above implementation method one can then be executed.

[1235] Please see Figure 5c As shown, Option 3: Implementation method two includes the following steps:

[1236] Step (1): The access network device sends information to the CN device to indicate the first capability.

[1245] Please see Figure 5d As shown, the first embodiment of this application includes the following steps:

[1246] Step (1): The CN device receives the AIoT operation task;

[1250] -Operating Device-3: Default access to all coverage areas of the network.

[1251] AIoT operation tasks, the effective area of ​​the task.

[1252] -Operating Device-1: Valid Area = Valid Area of ​​the Task;

[1253] -Operating Device-2: Valid Area = Valid Area of ​​the Task;

[1254] -Operating Device-3: Valid Area = Valid Area of ​​the Task;

[1255] The default effective area for a task can be the entire coverage area of ​​the access network device.

[1256] Step (2): The CN device sends an AIoT operation request (e.g., information about the AIoT operation, specifying the Area List to perform the AIoT operation) to the access network device.

[1257] Step (3): The access network device sends at least one of the following to the terminal: information on AIoT operation, configured radio resources, and valid area of ​​the radio resources.

[1258] If the UE is camped within the area corresponding to the AIoT operation area, the UE is selected as the relay of the operating device to execute the radio resources required for the AIoT task.

[1259] Implementation Method Four of this Application

[1262] Step (2): The CN device sends a UE context request to the access network device: authorize the UE as the operating device.

[1263] The CN device stores the UE's authorization information as an operating device.

[1264] Alternatively, Option 1:

[1265] Step (3a): The terminal sends information to the access network device to request to become an operating device;

[1266] Step (3b): The access network device agrees to the UE becoming the operating device relay and assigns an operating device ID to the UE (optionally, this step can be performed in implementation method three);

[1267] Alternatively, Option 2:

[1268] Step (2b): The terminal sends information to the access network device indicating the UE's ability to support (or act as) operating equipment;

[1269] Step (3b): The CN device assigns an operating device ID to the terminal (optionally, this step can be performed in implementation method three);

[1270] Alternatively, Option 3:

[1271] Step (2c): The terminal sends information to the access network device indicating the UE's ability to support (or act as) operating equipment;
