[0132] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0133] The term "comprising," and any variations thereof, used in the specification and claims of this application, is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus. Furthermore, the use of "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, such as A and / or B, indicating the inclusion of A alone, B alone, or both A and B.

[0134] In embodiments of the present invention, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in embodiments of the present invention should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0135] The technologies described in this article are not limited to 5th-generation (5G) mobile communication systems and their subsequent evolution, nor are they limited to LTE / LTE evolution (LTE-Advanced, LTE-A) systems. They can also be used in various 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), and other systems.

[0136] The terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably. CDMA systems implement radio technologies such as CDMA2000 and Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA). UTRA includes Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) and other CDMA variants. TDMA systems implement radio technologies such as the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). OFDMA systems implement radio technologies such as Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), Evolution-UTRA (E-UTRA), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, and Flash-OFDM. UTRA and E-UTRA are part of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). LTE and more advanced LTE (such as LTE-A) are newer versions of UMTS that use E-UTRA. UTRA, E-UTRA, UMTS, LTE, LTE-A, and GSM are described in documents from an organization called the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). CDMA2000 and UMB are described in documents from an organization called 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2). The technologies described herein can be used with the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as with other systems and radio technologies.

[0137] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following technical points will be introduced first.

[0138] like Figure 2 As shown, a terminal identifier (such as the identifier of an Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT) device) includes the following information:

[0139] 1) First part of the information:

[0140] -ID type, including at least one of the following:

[0141] The indication may or may not include information related to network identification;

[0142] Information that includes or excludes information from third parties (or simply third-party information);

[0143] Part 2 types include Electronic Product Code (EPC) or other formats (such as the second part assigned by the operator).

[0144] - A network identifier, including at least one of the following: Mobile Country Code (MCC), Mobile Network Code (MNC), and Network Identifier (NID). Wherein, when the information indicating whether or not to include a network identifier indicates that a network identifier is included, the terminal identifier includes that network identifier;

[0145] - Third-party information, where the instruction "information including or excluding third-party information" indicates that third-party information is included, the terminal identifier contains the information of that third party.

[0146] - Information used to indicate the length or length type of Part2.

[0147] 2) Second part of the information:

[0148] - Used to distinguish different terminal devices within the scope indicated by the information in the first part;

[0149] The second part can be manifested as: EPC or other types of second parts (such as the second part allocated by the operator).

[0150] The terminal identifier includes a first part and a second part. All or part of the first part or the second part (Part 2) can be used to construct filter information for filtering one or more terminal devices (such as AIoT devices, or other terminal devices besides AIoT devices).

[0151] The filter information may include one or more components.

[0152] For example, if the paging message includes filter information, the AIoT device receiving the paging will determine that its identifier matches or includes the filter information, and then consider itself to be the paging target device and will respond to the paging.

[0153] Therefore, in order to determine which of the above information can be used to filter or screen terminal devices, the following issues also need to be addressed:

[0154] Question 1: What information can be used as filtering information?

[0155] (1) Which information in Part 1 should be used as filtering information and which should not be used as filtering information.

[0156] In one implementation, the following information in Part 1 is not used as filter information: 1) ID type; 2) information indicating the type of Part 2; 3) information indicating the length or length type of Part 2.

[0157] The following information is used as filtering information in Part 1: 1) Network identifier (such as at least one of MNC, MCC, NID); 2) Third-party information.

[0158] In one implementation, 1) a network identifier (if present); and 2) third-party information (if present) are used as filtering information. This avoids filtering onto devices operated by other companies or devices of other third parties.

[0159] For example, filtering information such as "phone, blue, foldable screen" will filter out AIoT devices from other brands, not just AIoT devices from a specific brand. Therefore, the filtering information can include "phone, blue, foldable screen" and brand.

[0160] For example, the filtering information for "phone, blue, foldable screen" will filter out AIoT devices managed by other operators, not just AIoT devices managed by the primary operator (such as the phone corresponding to the AIoT device). Therefore, the filtering information can include "phone, blue, foldable screen" and the primary operator.

[0161] (2) In Part 2, which information is used as filtering information and which information is not used as filtering information?

[0162] In one implementation, all information in part2 can be used as filter information.

[0163] For part 2, which is of type "others", all information can be used as filter information;

[0164] For part 2 of the EPC type, it is possible to further specify which information in the EPC standard can be used as filtering information.

[0165] (3) In the AF's signed data, the terminal devices that can be operated can be restricted. This part should also be used as filtering information to prevent the AF from requesting to operate on terminal devices other than the allowed terminal devices.

[0166] Information used to indicate which terminal devices are permitted to operate AF can be presented as filtered information. The actual inventory count uses filtered information that is more detailed than the subscribed filtered information.

[0167] For example, if the authorization information for the AIoT device in the AF is such as "brand.phone", then the filtering information can only be "brand.phone" and other restricted information, such as "brand.phone.foldable screen".

[0168] Question 2: The format of the filtered information.

[0169] This application does not limit the format of the filter information. When the filter information includes multiple components, the format of the filter information should be such that the terminal device can identify each component.

[0170] Therefore, there are two possible ways:

[0171] 1. Based on the format of the ID, the corresponding filter information string is composed; the string is composed of one or more components.

[0172] Or,

[0173] 2. This can be achieved by providing a list of components. For example, each component could be represented as a string.

[0174] The String method is shown below:

[0175] 1) Define the filter as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

[0176] Generally, URLs can only use English letters, Arabic numerals, and certain punctuation marks; other characters and symbols are not allowed. For example, there is a URL with English letters like "http: / / www.abc.com", but there is no URL with Greek letters like "http: / / www.aβy.com" (pronounced alpha-beta-gamma.com). This is because internet standards have strict rules: "Only letters and numbers (such as 0-9a-zA-Z), some special characters (such as $-_.+!*'()), and certain reserved words can be used directly in URLs without encoding."

[0177] For example, using punctuation marks to separate different content in the information:

[0178] Ingredient-1, Ingredient-2, Ingredient-3, etc. Example: Mobile phone, blue, foldable screen.

[0179] Therefore, filtering information can also be represented in the form of URIs, such as mobile phone.brand.foldable screen.

[0180] 2) The filtering information can also be expressed in base X form, but different parts can be separated by punctuation marks. The base X form is the string above converted into a number in base X. For example: 56342.13445.7889000.

[0181] For example, the identifier of an AIoT device can exist in the following two forms.

[0182]

[0332] In one embodiment, the active signal generation refers to the terminal device generating a signal itself.

[0333] Optionally, the second interface can be implemented in the following manner:

[0334] 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.

[0335] 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.

[0336] Method 3: Introduce a new interface, such as the second NG interface.

[0337] In one optional embodiment of this application, the first interface is a wireless interface between the "first communication device or reader" and the terminal device.

[0338] In one embodiment, the first interface may be different from another air port of the Uu interface or the PC5 interface.

[0339] In another embodiment, the first interface may be an enhancement of the Uu interface or an enhancement of the PC5 interface.

[0340] 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).

[0341] 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.

[0342] 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. Multiple identifiers of 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.

[0343] 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 group of terminal devices and is not shared by other groups of terminal devices.

[0344] 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 this group of terminal devices may be uncertain. For example, it may be necessary to determine the identifier of the terminal device after it has provided feedback from the terminal device. 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).

[0345] 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".

[0346] 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".

[0347] 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.

[0348] 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.

[0349] 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.

[0350] 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).

[0351] 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.

[0352] 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.

[0353] 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.

[0354] 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.

[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 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.

[0356] 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.
