[0050] In order to better understand the technical solution provided by this application, the technology involved in this application is first introduced.

[0051] Backscatter communication refers to the use of radio frequency signals from other devices or the environment to modulate the signal and transmit its own information. Backscatter communication equipment can be one of the following:

[0052] (1) The backscatter communication device in traditional Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is generally a tag, which belongs to the passive Internet of Things (IoT) device, namely Passive-IoT.

[0053] (2) Semi-passive IoT devices: The downlink reception or uplink reflection of this type of device has a certain amplification capability.

[0054] (3) Devices with active transmission capabilities. This type of terminal can send information to the reader without relying on the reflection of the incident signal, but has the ability to actively generate and send signals.

[0055] The energy sources of the above three types of devices can come from the environment, such as ambient radio frequency (RF) signals, thermal energy, kinetic energy, wind energy, etc., and they can also be called ambient IoT devices.

[0056] Figure 2 shows a system diagram of backscatter communication. As shown in Figure 2, there are two links between a reader and an IoT device (e.g., a tag), namely, a first link from the reader to the IoT device, and a second link from the IoT device to the reader (i.e., a backscatter link). The reader can send a control command or a continuous carrier wave to the IoT device through the first link, and the IoT device can send a backscatter signal to the reader through the second link. One implementation method is that the IoT device reflects the incident carrier signal when it needs to send '1', and does not reflect it when it needs to send '0'.

[0057] As shown in Figure 3, the backscatter communication device can control the reflection coefficient Γ of the circuit by adjusting its internal impedance, thereby changing the amplitude, frequency, phase, etc. of the incident signal to achieve signal modulation. The reflection coefficient of the signal can be expressed as:

[0058] Where Z0 is the antenna characteristic impedance and Z1 is the load impedance. Assume that the incident signal is S in(t) , the output signal is Therefore, corresponding amplitude modulation, frequency modulation or phase modulation can be achieved by reasonably controlling the reflection coefficient.

[0059] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the downlink frequency resource group structure of a reader / writer device. As shown in Figure 4, the reader / writer device can transmit control signals on one or more frequency resources. A frequency resource segment is divided into multiple segments, each segment is a frequency resource group, and each frequency resource group contains multiple resource elements (REs). The number of REs and the frequency domain width occupied by each RE can be preconfigured / predefined.

[0060] In communication between the reader and the tag, the control command sent by the reader carries instructions, indicating the transmission parameters used by the tag. For example, through bit information, it instructs the tag to use a frequency offset by 40 kHz or 80 kHz compared to the carrier frequency for backscattering or uplink transmission of the modulated signal. Although signaling can indicate the tag's uplink transmission frequency or waveform information, it increases the length of the control signaling. Therefore, it is necessary to find a method to indicate the tag's uplink waveform information without taking up additional signaling length.

[0061] In view of this, the present application proposes a method and apparatus for determining uplink transmission waveform information.

[0062] The following describes in detail the method and device for determining uplink transmission waveform information provided by the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0063] Figure 5 illustrates a flow chart of a method for determining uplink transmission waveform information in an embodiment of the present application. This method 500 can be performed by a first device in a signal detection process, where the first device can be a terminal or an IoT device. For example, the first device can be the second terminal 11 in Figure 1 . This is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application. In other words, the method can be performed by software or hardware installed on the first device. As shown in Figure 5 , the method can include the following steps.

[0064] S510: The first device detects a downlink control signal sent by the second device on at least one downlink frequency resource group.

[0065] The first device may be a response device of an Internet of Things device, and the response device may include: a passive Internet of Things device (Device A), a semi-passive Internet of Things device (Device B) or an active Internet of Things device (Device C).

[0066] Regarding the downlink frequency resource group, it can be understood that a section of frequency resources is divided into multiple segments, each segment is a frequency resource group, and the second device can send a downlink control signal on one or more downlink frequency resource groups, then the first device needs to detect the downlink control signal on at least one downlink frequency resource group.

[0067] S520: Determine target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device based on the reference frequency point and the detected target downlink frequency resource group carrying the downlink control signal.

[0068] The at least one downlink frequency resource group includes the target downlink frequency resource group.

[0069] It can be understood that when the first device detects the downlink control signal sent by the second device on at least one downlink frequency resource group, the downlink control signal may be detected on a certain downlink frequency resource group, or the downlink control signal may not be detected on a certain downlink frequency resource group. Then the downlink frequency resource group where the downlink control signal is detected can be called the target downlink frequency resource group, that is, the at least one downlink frequency resource group includes the target downlink frequency resource group.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, a first device detects a downlink control signal sent by a second device on at least one downlink frequency resource group, and based on a reference frequency point and the detected target downlink frequency resource group carrying the downlink control signal, determines the target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device. The downlink control signal is mapped and sent on the downlink resource group. The downlink control signal does not need to use bit information to indicate the uplink working waveform information. Instead, the position information of the downlink frequency resource group carrying the downlink control signal is used to implicitly indicate the uplink waveform information. The uplink waveform information can be waveform time domain information or frequency domain information. This can reduce signaling overhead. In addition, the bit information saved by the downlink control signal can be used for other indications. Therefore, the complexity of resource scheduling and the length of signaling indications can be reduced.

[0071] In a possible implementation, the first device detecting, on at least one downlink frequency resource group, a downlink control signal sent by the second device may include one of the following:

[0072] (1) The first device detects the downlink control signal on a single downlink frequency resource group according to pre-configuration information or pre-indication information.

[0073] Among them, detecting the downlink control signal on a single downlink frequency resource group may refer to detecting the downlink control signal at a single frequency point or detecting the downlink control signal within a frequency range, a single frequency point refers to the frequency point corresponding to the downlink frequency resource group, and a frequency range refers to the frequency range corresponding to the downlink frequency resource group, including the highest frequency and the lowest frequency. The following is an example of detecting a downlink control signal at a single frequency point. As shown in Figure 6, the first device has multiple frequency detection points on one side of the reference frequency point. Then, the detection method of detecting the downlink control signal at a single frequency point may include one of the following:

[0074] 1) Detect at detection point 1, but not at detection points 2 and 3.

[0075] 2) Detect at detection point 2, but not at detection points 1 and 3.

[0076] 3) Detect at detection point 3, but not at detection points 1 and 2.

[0077] It should be noted that the specific frequency point (detection point) or frequency range in which detection is performed can be determined according to pre-configuration information or pre-indication information.

[0078] (2) The first device detects the downlink control signal on multiple downlink frequency resource groups according to the pre-configuration information or pre-indication information.

[0079] It can be understood that if the second device sends a downlink control signal on multiple downlink frequency resource groups, the first device can detect the downlink control signal on multiple downlink frequency resource groups based on the pre-configuration information or pre-indication information. Since the second device sends a downlink control signal on multiple downlink frequency resource groups, the first device can have multiple frequency detection points on both sides of the reference frequency point during detection. As shown in Figure 7, detection can be performed at detection point 1 and detection point 4.

[0080] In a possible implementation, the frequency of the reference frequency point may include one of the following:

[0081] (1) The frequency of the reference frequency point is less than the lowest frequency of the single downlink frequency resource group.

[0082] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG8 , the downlink frequency resource group is above the reference frequency point, that is, the frequency of the reference frequency point is lower than the lowest frequency of the downlink frequency resource group.

[0083] (2) The frequency of the reference frequency point is greater than the highest frequency of the single downlink frequency resource group.

[0084] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG9 , the downlink frequency resource group is below the reference frequency point, that is, the frequency of the reference frequency point is greater than the highest frequency of the downlink frequency resource group.

[0085] (3) The frequency of the reference frequency point is equal to the middle frequency of the multiple downlink frequency resource groups.

[0086] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG10 , the reference frequency point is located in the middle position between resource group A and resource group D, that is, the frequency of the reference frequency point is equal to the middle frequency of multiple downlink frequency resource groups.

[0087] In another possible implementation, the reference frequency point may include one of the following:

[0088] (1) receiving a frequency point of an excitation carrier transmitted by the second device;

[0089] (2) Virtual frequency point.

[0090] In other words, the reference frequency point can be the frequency point at which the second device transmits the excitation carrier signal. That is, when the second device first transmits the excitation carrier signal to the first device at the target frequency point and then transmits the downlink control signal, the target frequency point can serve as the reference frequency point. In addition, the reference frequency point can also be a virtual frequency point, that is, it has no actual physical meaning.

[0091] Regarding the target uplink transmission waveform information, in a possible implementation, the target uplink transmission waveform information may include at least one of the following:

[0092] (1) The duration of the high level of the uplink transmission waveform within one cycle.

[0093] (2) The high-level-low-level cycle time of the uplink transmission waveform.

[0094] It is understandable that the duration of the uplink transmission waveform at a high level within a cycle may refer to the duration of the uplink transmission waveform being on, and the cycle time of the uplink transmission waveform being high and low may refer to the cycle of the uplink transmission waveform being on and off. When the first device detects a downlink control signal on a target downlink frequency resource group, target uplink transmission waveform information may be determined based on the target downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point. The target uplink transmission waveform information may include the duration of the uplink transmission waveform at a high level within a cycle and / or the cycle time of the uplink transmission waveform being high and low.

[0095] Exemplarily, if the frequency of the reference frequency point is less than the lowest frequency of resource group A, the first device detects the downlink control signal sent by the second device on resource group A, and determines the target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device based on the position (frequency) of resource group A and the frequency of the reference frequency point. Within the reference time, the target uplink transmission waveform has a complete waveform ON-OFF duration (as shown in Figure 11a) or multiple ON-OFF waveform durations (as shown in Figure 11b).

[0096] If the frequency of the reference frequency point is greater than the highest frequency of resource group A, the first device detects the downlink control signal sent by the second device on resource group A, and determines the target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device based on the position (frequency) of resource group A and the frequency of the reference frequency point. Within the reference time, the target uplink transmission waveform has a complete waveform ON-OFF duration (as shown in Figure 12a) or multiple ON-OFF waveform durations (as shown in Figure 12b).

[0097] If the frequency of the reference frequency point is equal to the intermediate frequency of the resource group A and the resource group D, the first device detects the downlink control signal sent by the second device on the resource group A and the resource group D, and determines the target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device based on the position (frequency) of the resource group A and the resource group D and the frequency of the reference frequency point. Within the reference time, the target uplink transmission waveform has a complete waveform ON-OFF duration (as shown in Figure 13a) or multiple ON-OFF waveform durations (as shown in Figure 13b).

[0098] It should be noted that if the hardware capabilities of the first device are poor, the crystal oscillator that generates the signal may be unstable, resulting in inconsistent waveform duration. Therefore, it is possible to consider adding a protection interval or offset before the waveform duration to counteract the waveform inconsistency caused by the unstable crystal oscillator.

[0099] Furthermore, the uplink transmission waveform may include one of the following:

[0100] (1) Waveform of amplitude-shift keying (ASK) modulation.

[0101] (2) Waveform of binary amplitude-shifted keying (OOK) modulation.

[0102] Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is a modulation technology that converts digital signals into amplitudes. ASK uses two different amplitudes to represent the numbers 0 and 1. The number 1 represents a high amplitude, and the number 0 represents a low amplitude. Binary Amplitude Shift Keying (OOK) is a modulation technology that converts digital signals into amplitudes. It uses two different amplitudes to represent the numbers 0 and 1. In OOK modulation, the number 1 represents the maximum amplitude, and the number 0 represents zero amplitude. For example, as shown in FIG14 , within the reference time, there is a fluctuation time and a stable time of the waveform. The duration of the fluctuation time is related to the frequency of the downlink frequency resource group and the frequency of the reference signal. Within the reference time, there may be one ASK cycle or multiple ASK cycles. In addition, in one implementation, the uplink transmission waveform may be a coded waveform or an uncoded waveform. The coding method of the coded waveform includes one of the following;

[0103] (1) Miller coding.

[0104] (2) Dual-phase space code FM0 code.

[0105] (3) Manchester code.

[0106] In this implementation, the coded waveform can improve the reliability and anti-interference capability of signal transmission, and the uncoded waveform can reduce resource consumption and reduce the complexity of signal transmission.

[0107] In another possible implementation, the target uplink transmission waveform information may include: a frequency set of the uplink transmission waveform. Further, the uplink transmission waveform includes one of the following:

[0108] (1) Frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation waveform.

[0109] The waveform modulated by frequency shift keying FSK can make the downlink control signal switch quickly at different frequencies, thereby transmitting digital signals. This modulation method can effectively reduce signal interference and anti-jitter performance, and is suitable for application scenarios with poor channel quality. For example, as shown in Figure 15, if the waveform of the downlink control signal sent by the second device is a 2FSK waveform, due to the frequencies of different downlink frequency resource groups and the frequencies of the reference signal points, different uplink transmission waveform frequency set information can be indicated. Then, the frequencies f1 and f2 in Figure 15 and the difference between f1 and f2 are related to the frequency of the downlink frequency resource group and the frequency of the reference signal.

[0110] (2) Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) modulation waveform.

[0111] Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) uses a Gaussian filter to smooth carrier frequency variations, reducing spectrum narrowing and inter-symbol interference. If the downlink control signal sent by the second device is a GMSK waveform, the difference between GMSK and FSK is that GMSK is a phase-continuous waveform. As shown in Figure 16, the phase at the intersection of two frequencies continuously changes.

[0112] In addition, in one implementation, the uplink transmission waveform may be a coded waveform or an uncoded waveform. The coding method of the coded waveform includes one of the following:

[0113] (1) Miller coding.

[0114] (2) Dual-phase space code FM0 code.

[0115] (3) Manchester code.

[0116] In a possible implementation, determining the target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device based on the reference frequency point and the detected target downlink frequency resource group carrying the downlink control signal may include the following steps:

[0117] Step 1: Obtain a target frequency offset between the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point.

[0118] Continuing to refer to any of the above-mentioned Figures 8 to 10, the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group may refer to the center frequency point of the resource group shown in the figure. Because the frequency of a downlink frequency resource group may be a frequency range, i.e., including the highest frequency and the lowest frequency, for the convenience of calculation, the middle frequency between the highest frequency and the lowest frequency may be taken as the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group. Then, the difference between the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point is the target frequency offset. When the target frequency offset is larger, it means that the target downlink frequency resource group is farther away from the reference frequency point.

[0119] It should be noted that the size of the target downlink frequency resource group, that is, the number of occupied REs, and the frequency offset can be predefined or preconfigured by the network side. The predefined or preconfigured frequency offset is to fix the downlink frequency resource group within a certain frequency range to avoid frequency conflicts or interference.

[0120] Optionally, the target frequency offset may also be determined by comparing the highest frequency or the lowest frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group or other frequencies within the resource group with the reference frequency point. In other words, the target frequency offset is not limited to being determined by the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group.

[0121] Step 2: Based on a preset mapping relationship between uplink transmission waveform information and frequency offset, the target uplink transmission waveform information corresponding to the target frequency offset is acquired.

[0122] In the above implementation, a mapping relationship between uplink transmission waveform information and frequency offset is preset, and the corresponding target uplink transmission waveform information is obtained through the frequency offset between the target downlink frequency resource group carrying the downlink control signal and the reference frequency point.

[0123] In another possible implementation, determining the target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device based on the reference frequency point and the detected target downlink frequency resource group carrying the downlink control signal may include:

[0124] Based on a preset mapping relationship between a downlink frequency resource group and an uplink transmission waveform, target uplink transmission waveform information corresponding to the target downlink frequency resource group is acquired.

[0125] In the above implementation, the mapping relationship between the downlink frequency resource group and the uplink transmission waveform can be pre-defined. For example, the mapping relationship between the identifier of the downlink frequency resource group and the uplink transmission waveform can be defined. When the first device detects a downlink control signal, it obtains the target uplink transmission waveform information corresponding to the target downlink frequency resource group carrying the downlink control signal.

[0126] In specific applications, when setting the mapping relationship between the downlink frequency resource group and the uplink transmission waveform, the uplink transmission waveform corresponding to each downlink frequency resource group can also be set according to the frequency offset between each downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point (for example, the frequency offset between the center frequency of the downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point).

[0127] In one possible implementation, the mapping relationship (including the mapping relationship between the uplink transmission waveform information and the frequency offset or the mapping relationship between the downlink frequency resource group and the uplink transmission waveform) may satisfy one of the following:

[0128] (1) The larger the absolute value of the frequency offset, the shorter the duration of the high level of the uplink transmission waveform indicated by the corresponding uplink transmission waveform information or the shorter the high level-low level cycle time of the indicated uplink transmission waveform.

[0129] That is to say, the greater the frequency difference between the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point, that is, the farther the target downlink frequency resource group is from the reference frequency point, the shorter the duration of the uplink transmission waveform ON indicated by the uplink transmission waveform information or the shorter the ON-OFF period of the uplink transmission waveform.

[0130] (2) The smaller the absolute value of the frequency offset, the longer the duration of the high level of the uplink transmission waveform indicated by the corresponding uplink transmission waveform information or the longer the high level-low level cycle time of the indicated uplink transmission waveform.

[0131] That is to say, the smaller the frequency difference between the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point, that is, the closer the target downlink frequency resource group is to the reference frequency point, the longer the duration of the uplink transmission waveform ON indicated by the uplink transmission waveform information or the longer the cycle of the uplink transmission waveform ON-OFF.

[0132] (3) The larger the absolute value of the frequency offset, the longer the duration of the high level of the uplink transmission waveform indicated by the corresponding uplink transmission waveform information or the longer the high level-low level cycle time of the indicated uplink transmission waveform.

[0133] That is to say, the greater the frequency difference between the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point, that is, the farther the target downlink frequency resource group is from the reference frequency point, the longer the duration of the uplink transmission waveform ON indicated by the uplink transmission waveform information or the longer the ON-OFF period of the uplink transmission waveform.

[0134] (4) The smaller the absolute value of the frequency offset, the shorter the duration of the high level of the uplink transmission waveform indicated by the corresponding uplink transmission waveform information or the shorter the high level-low level cycle time of the indicated uplink transmission waveform.

[0135] That is to say, the smaller the frequency difference between the center frequency of the target downlink frequency resource group and the reference frequency point, that is, the closer the target downlink frequency resource group is to the reference frequency point, the shorter the duration of the uplink transmission waveform ON indicated by the uplink transmission waveform information or the shorter the ON-OFF period of the uplink transmission waveform.

[0136] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: sending feedback information to the second device, wherein the feedback information is used to provide feedback on uplink transmission waveform information or frequency information used by the first device. It is understood that the second device can update the size and position, i.e., frequency, of the downlink frequency resource group based on the feedback information.

[0137] In one possible implementation, after determining the target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device based on the reference frequency point and detecting the target downlink frequency resource group carrying the downlink control signal, the method further includes: sending an uplink transmission signal to the second device according to the target uplink transmission waveform information. It will be appreciated that sending the uplink transmission signal to the second device according to the target uplink transmission waveform information can verify whether the downlink control signal received by the first device is correct, as well as verifying whether the determined target uplink transmission waveform information is correct, thereby improving the communication quality and reliability between the first and second devices.

[0138] Figure 17 illustrates another flow diagram of a method for determining uplink transmission waveform information in an embodiment of the present application. This method 1700 can be executed by a second device involved in signal transmission. The second device can be a reader of the first device, such as the first terminal 10 or the network-side device 12 in Figure 1 , though this is not specifically limited in the present embodiment. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the second device. As shown in Figure 17 , the method can include the following steps.

[0139] S1710: The second device sends a downlink control signal to the first device on at least one target downlink frequency resource group.

[0140] The target downlink frequency resource group is used to determine target uplink transmission waveform information of the first device.

[0141] The second device can be a reading device for an Internet of Things device. Optionally, the reading device can also be a handheld or fixed device that reads or writes tag information, that is, a terminal or base station that communicates with the tag; the reading device can also be a device with reading and writing functions, such as a reader / writer, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0142] In an embodiment of the present application, the second device can, as needed, instruct the first device to use uplink transmission waveform information, and send a downlink control signal to the first device on at least one downlink frequency resource group corresponding to the uplink transmission waveform information, without the need to carry bit data indicating the uplink transmission waveform information in the downlink control signal, thereby implicitly indicating the uplink transmission waveform information used by the first device.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, the downlink control signal is sent through the downlink frequency resource group, which can reduce the complexity of resource scheduling and the signaling indication length.

[0144] In a possible implementation, the second device sending a downlink control signal to the first device on at least one target downlink frequency resource group may include one of the following:

[0145] (1) The second device sends the downlink control signal on a single downlink frequency resource group according to pre-configuration information or pre-indication information.

[0146] (2) The second device sends the downlink control signal on multiple downlink frequency resource groups according to the pre-configuration information or pre-indication information.

[0147] In this implementation, by sending a downlink control signal on a single downlink frequency resource group, the management and scheduling of multiple resource groups can be reduced, or by sending a downlink control signal on multiple downlink frequency resource groups, the signal transmission rate can be increased. If a downlink frequency resource group is unavailable, other downlink frequency resource groups that are operating normally can still continue to transmit the downlink control signal. In this way, the first device can normally detect the downlink control signal, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the network. It should be noted that whether to send a downlink control signal on a single downlink frequency resource group or on multiple downlink frequency resource groups can be determined according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of this application do not make specific limitations.

[0148] In a possible implementation, the target attributes of the frequency resources occupied by the downlink frequency resource group are configured by a network-side device or predefined by a protocol; wherein the target attributes include at least one of the following: the size of the frequency resources, and the location of the frequency resources.

[0149] In a possible implementation manner, the method further includes: updating a target attribute of the frequency resources occupied by the downlink frequency resource group according to feedback information sent by the first device.

[0150] Regarding the above two implementations, it can be understood that the size of the frequency resources occupied by the downlink frequency resource group and / or the location of the frequency resources may be determined in one of the following ways:

[0151] (1) Configuration by network-side equipment;

[0152] (2) Protocol pre-definition;

[0153] (3) Updating the size and / or location of the frequency resource according to the feedback information sent by the first device.

[0154] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: a second device receiving an uplink transmission signal sent by the first device, wherein the waveform of the uplink transmission signal is obtained based on the target uplink transmission waveform information. It is understood that the uplink transmission signal received by the second device is sent by the first device in accordance with the target uplink transmission waveform information. The second device can verify, based on the uplink transmission signal, whether the downlink control signal received by the first device is correct, and whether the target uplink transmission waveform information determined by the first device is correct, thereby improving the communication quality and reliability between the first and second devices.
