[0004] Driven by the internet and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly developed and is widely used. In this process of IoT popularization, the integration of backscatter passive sensors into passive IoT technology has enabled them to convert available wireless signals from the surrounding environment into energy for their own operation through their internal wireless acquisition modules, while also utilizing backscatter technology to transmit information to target nodes. However, due to frequency band transmit power limitations associated with backscatter passive sensors in passive IoT communication, as well as the low receiving sensitivity of tags corresponding to backscatter passive sensors, this can lead to limited coverage and communication distance for passive IoT information transmission.

[0108] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0109] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0110] The information transmission method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to a network system, which can be a fifth-generation communication network system or a future-evolved mobile communication network system, or a communication system in which passive internet of things (Passive IoT or PIoT) technology is integrated with various communication systems, a communication system in which passive internet of things technology is integrated with a fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G) mobile communication system, a communication system in which passive internet of things technology is integrated with a 5G new air interface (New Radio, NR) system, and a communication system in which passive internet of things technology is integrated with various future communication systems. The embodiments of the present disclosure are described using a 5G network system as an example, but the network system in the present disclosure is not limited to a 5G network system.

[0111] Referring to FIG1 , FIG1 is a flow chart of an information transmission method applied to a network system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method comprises the following steps:

[0112] S101: Receive data sent by an electronic device, where the data is obtained by the electronic device based on an extremely low power consumption communication technology.

[0113] In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, electronic devices may include user equipment (UE) and customer premise equipment (CPE). Among them, the user equipment may be a terminal device connected to the network system. In a passive Internet of Things system, the UE may be a reader / writer, which is a reader / writer capable of reading electronic tag information. In a 5G network system, the UE may be an access terminal, and may also be referred to as a user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device. The UE may also be a device that provides voice / data connectivity to users, such as a handheld device or vehicle-mounted device with wireless connection function. In addition, the user equipment may also be a terminal device in the Internet of Things (IoT) system. IoT technology can achieve massive connections, deep coverage, and terminal power saving through, for example, narrowband (NB) technology. It should be understood that the user equipment may be any device that can access the network. In addition, the electronic device can also be CPE, which can be a device that directly connects the user front end with the operator network, and can receive mobile signals and forward them as wireless WIFI signals. It can be a mobile signal access device, specifically a telephone, wireless router, firewall, computer, optical modem, etc.

[0114] Specifically, the network system receives data sent by the electronic device, and the data may be obtained by the electronic device based on an extremely low power consumption communication technology, and the extremely low power consumption communication technology may include backscattering technology or active emission technology. For example, obtaining data based on backscattering technology may be to read the data information of the electronic tag by a passive backscattering sensor provided in the electronic device, and the electronic tag may have the same frequency as the passive backscattering sensor. In addition, the electronic device may be used as a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader / writer to read the data stored in the electronic tag by adopting passive backscattering technology. Specifically, the data may be response information to be sent to the Internet of Things server, or it may be response information that is fed back to the electronic device after the electronic tag receives the instruction information sent by the Internet of Things server in advance. It may be data information such as identification information, attribute information, etc. related to the electronic tag corresponding to the electronic device, and the present disclosure does not make specific restrictions.

[0115] S102: Determine a target transmission strategy according to the attribute information of the electronic device.

[0116] Refer to Figure 2, which is one of the architectural diagrams of the passive Internet of Things technology provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure integrated into the 5G network system. The 5G network system in the present disclosure may include terminal equipment, radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN) equipment, core network and data network (data network, DN). When the above-mentioned electronic equipment is used as a terminal device, it can be used as a component of the 5G network system to transmit data between the electronic tag and the Internet of Things server. Electronic devices can communicate with each other by using a certain air interface technology with the access network equipment, and the electronic devices can be connected to the 5G network system to facilitate data transmission. The core network is responsible for maintaining the subscription data of the mobile network and providing electronic devices with functions such as session management, mobility management, policy management and security authentication. The core network may include but is not limited to the following network elements: access and mobility management function (AMF), authentication server function (AUSF), unified data management (UDM), session management function (SMF), application function (AF), policy control function (PCF), network exposure function (NEF), network slice selection assistance information (NSSF) and user plane function (UPF).

[0117] In a specific implementation, the electronic device is connected to the AMF via the N1 interface, the RAN is connected to the AMF via the N2 interface, the AMF is connected to the NSSF, AUSF, UDM, and SMF via N22, N12, N8, and N11, respectively. The SMF is connected to the UDM and PCF via N10 and N7, respectively. The PCF is connected to the AF via N5, the PCF is connected to the AMF via N15, and the AMF is connected to its own interface end via N14. In addition, the RAN is connected to the UPF via N3, and the UPF is connected to the DN and its own interface end via N6 and N9, respectively. The connection of the above interfaces indicates that communication can be carried out between the network elements.

[0118] In addition, the DN is used to provide business services to terminal devices. It can be a private network, such as a local area network; it can also be an external network not controlled by the operator, such as the Internet; it can also be a proprietary network jointly deployed by operators, such as a network that provides an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS). The terminal device can access the DN through an established protocol data unit (PDU) session. In this disclosure, the DN takes the IoT server as an example and is used to receive data sent by electronic devices and the 5G network system.

[0119] In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, data sent by an electronic device can be transmitted through different transmission paths in a 5G network system, and the target transmission strategy can be to determine the corresponding transmission strategy based on the attribute information indicated by the electronic device. For example, the electronic device attribute information includes VIP level information. At this time, an encryption strategy can be selected during the data transmission process to provide differentiated services for the data transmitted by the electronic device. In addition, the above-mentioned attribute information may include type information and VIP level information of the electronic device. The type information includes the type of passive IoT device to which the electronic device belongs, for example, a reader and a mobile phone. Different device types can be configured with different target transmission strategies in the 5G network system. In this way, the path to be taken during the data transmission process is distinguished by the attribute information corresponding to the electronic device, thereby determining different transmission strategies, facilitating data transmission, and reducing interference from other communication devices, systems, etc.

[0120] S103: Send the data to the Internet of Things server according to the transmission path and / or service policy indicated by the target transmission policy.

[0121] In a passive IoT application scenario, the IoT server may refer to a passive IoT server. The transmission path indicated by the target transmission strategy may be an IoT transmission path. The service strategy may include a 5G QoS Identifier (5QI), a QoS Flow ID (QFI) for identifying the Quality of Service (QoS) flow in the 5G system, an air interface compression strategy, and an encryption strategy. It is understood that interfaces exist between electronic devices, RAN, and electronic tags. In a system architecture where passive IoT technology is integrated into the 5G network, electronic tags no longer transmit information with electronic devices by receiving downlink passive IoT information via a dedicated spectrum. Instead, they receive downlink passive IoT information from electronic devices via the cellular air interface. The electronic tag sends uplink passive IoT information to the electronic device, which then sends it to the RAN via the passive IoT air interface.

[0122] Furthermore, the transmission path in the 5G network system is selected and determined based on the determined target transmission strategy. The specific path can be electronic device <-> RAN <-> AMF <-> SMF <-> AF <-> DN, electronic device <-> RAN <-> AMF <-> SMF <-> UPF <-> DN, or electronic device <-> RAN <-> UPF <-> DN, where <-> indicates that data can be transmitted to each other. It should be noted that the specific transmission path is determined by the target transmission strategy. Based on the different functional requirements of the core network network elements during the data transmission process, different network elements are selected for transmission. The specific transmission path can be determined based on the different functional requirements of each network element in actual circumstances, and this disclosure does not impose specific restrictions. Among them, the target transmission strategy corresponding to the level information can be pre-configured in the 5G network system. After the 5G network system receives the data transmitted by the electronic device, the level information of the electronic device is identified, thereby determining the target transmission strategy corresponding to the level information of the electronic device. In addition, with the development of communication technologies related to network systems, network elements that can realize other functions have emerged, which can also be used as network element components in the IoT transmission path in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0123] It is worth mentioning that the above transmission paths can be pre-configured in the network system, or configured in the network system through interaction between the passive system and the network system. Then, the corresponding target transmission strategy is determined based on the type information or VIP level information in the attribute information of the electronic device. For example, the 5G transmission strategy (such as 5QI, QFI, airtime compression strategy and encryption strategy, etc.) corresponding to each VIP level information corresponding to different electronic devices can be pre-configured in the network.

[0124] In this way, through the integrated architecture of passive Internet of Things technology and cellular system in the above embodiment, the 5G network system provides differentiated services for data transmitted by electronic devices based on the type information or level information of the electronic devices, expands the scenarios of integrated applications of passive Internet of Things and 5G network systems, and reduces the limitations on the communication connection distance between electronic devices and Internet of Things servers.

[0125] Optionally, before receiving the data sent by the electronic device, the method further includes:

[0126] During the process of registering the electronic device with the network system, attribute information of the electronic device is acquired.

[0127] In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the attribute information of the electronic device obtained by the 5G network system may be obtained during the registration process of the electronic device. During this registration process, the electronic device is registered in the network system as a user device of the network system, and can access the network system after successful registration. At the same time, during the access registration process of the electronic device in the network system, the network system will obtain the attribute information of the electronic device, and the attribute information may include information related to the electronic device, such as the identification (ID) information of the electronic device.

[0128] Optionally, in the process of registering the electronic device with the network system, obtaining the attribute information of the electronic device includes:

[0129] receiving a first registration request sent by the electronic device for accessing a cellular network, wherein the first registration request carries indication information indicating attribute information of the electronic device, the attribute information including at least one of type information, level information, and identification information of the electronic device;

[0130] After acquiring the attribute information of the electronic device, the method further includes:

[0131] receiving a second registration request sent by the electronic device for registering with the Internet of Things server;

[0132] Forward the second registration request to the Internet of Things server.

[0133] It can be understood that the electronic device can initiate a first registration request to the network system and initiate a second registration request to the Internet of Things server through the network system. Among them, when the electronic device sends the first registration request to the network system, it will obtain attribute information and indication information indicating the electronic device, and this indication information is carried in the first registration request. In addition, after the electronic device is successfully registered in the network system, the electronic device has been connected to the network system and can be used as a reader to send a second registration request to the Internet of Things server through the network system. The network system acts as an intermediary for transmitting the second registration request. After receiving the second registration request sent by the electronic device, it will forward the second registration request to the Internet of Things server. In this way, both the access of the electronic device to the network system and the registration of the electronic device in the Internet of Things server are completed, which facilitates data transmission between the electronic device and the Internet of Things server through the network device.

[0134] In a specific implementation, an electronic device can initiate a registration request to an IoT server via a 5G network system. The electronic device makes a registration request and sends the registration request information to the IoT server via the 5G network system. The registration request information may carry indication information including information indicating the attributes of the electronic device, and the indication information may be stored in a network attached storage (NAS) function in the 5G network system. The indication information may be information indicating the type of the passive device IOT electronic device of the electronic device itself and information indicating the corresponding level. IOT is equivalent to IoT.

[0135] As shown in Figure 3, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the interaction scenario between the electronic device, the network system and the Internet of Things service in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device can send data to the Internet of Things server through the network system, but the electronic device needs to complete registration in the network system before transmitting the data, and access the network system by sending a first registration request to the network system. After the electronic device successfully accesses the network system, the electronic device also needs to send a second registration request to the Internet of Things server to register in the Internet of Things server. This process can be achieved through the network system. Among them, after the network system receives the second registration request sent by the electronic device to the Internet of Things server, the network system immediately forwards the second registration request to the Internet of Things server to complete the registration of the electronic device in the Internet of Things server.

[0136] Furthermore, after the electronic device completes registration with the network system and the IoT server, the IoT server sends an IoT service instruction to the electronic device based on the attribute information carried in the received second registration request. This process can also be achieved through network transmission. When the electronic device receives the IoT service instruction, it feeds it back to the electronic tag corresponding to the electronic device, receives the data information sent by the electronic tag, and then transmits the data information to the IoT server via the network system.

[0137] It should be noted that the interaction between the electronic device, the network system, and the IoT server in the present disclosure can be used in fields related to IoT services, and the IoT server can send IoT service instructions to the electronic device via the network system. Specifically, the IoT services in the present disclosure can include ambient IoT services, active IoT services, passive IoT services, and semi-active IoT services, among which ambient IoT services can include ambient power IoT services. The scope of IoT services in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be expanded with the development of IoT technology, and there is no limitation on this.

[0138] This shows that through the interaction between electronic devices, network systems, and IoT servers, electronic devices can be used as both user devices of the network system and readers / writers in the data transmission process, transmitting data from electronic tags that needs to be transmitted to the IoT server. In this way, by multiplexing the network system to achieve data transmission between electronic devices and IoT servers, the range of electronic devices that can transmit data can be expanded, and the limitations of communication distance can be reduced without significantly increasing the cost, power consumption, or complexity of the original electronic devices.

[0139] Optionally, the acquiring the attribute information of the electronic device includes:

[0140] The attribute information of the electronic device is obtained from the unified data management function UDM through the mobility management function AMF in the network system.

[0141] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the 5G network system obtains attribute information during the registration process of the electronic device, and can obtain information identified as the IOT UE or IOT CPE type and information identifying the corresponding level in the registration contract information from the UDM through the AMF in the 5G network system, wherein the level information can be the level information corresponding to the UE of the IOT UE type and the level information corresponding to the CPE of the IOT CPE type. Different types of electronic devices can sign up for different VIP levels, and the 5G network system provides differentiated services for data transmission based on the level information.

[0142] Optionally, after obtaining the attribute information of the electronic device from the UDM through the AMF in the network system, the method further includes:

[0143] Identification information is sent to the tag management function through the AMF in the network system, wherein the identification information includes at least one of the ID of the electronic device, the base station ID of the service, and the AMF ID of the service.

[0144] As shown in Figure 4, the 5G network system can also include a tag management function. This function exists as an independent functional unit in the 5G network system and interfaces with the AMF. It is responsible for handling context maintenance and service management related to passive IoT services. Specifically, the tag management function can store and manage the identification information carried by electronic devices.

[0145] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when an electronic device initiates a registration request to an IoT server via a 5G network system, identification information can be sent to a tag management function via an AMF. This identification information can indicate its own location, ID, etc. to the 5G network system and the IoT server. By recording this information, it is convenient for the 5G network system to manage the data transmitted by the electronic device, and for the IoT server to transmit instructions to the electronic device and the corresponding electronic tag via the 5G network system, so that the communication distance is not restricted and interference from other communications is reduced. The above-mentioned identification information may include the ID of the electronic device, the base station ID of the service, and the AMF ID of the service for indicating the location of the electronic device. After the IoT server receives the identification information containing such information, it can confirm the location of the electronic device and further determine the location of the electronic tag corresponding to the electronic device.

[0146] It should be noted that after the IoT server obtains the identification information, it can also help the IoT server locate the position of the electronic device and transmit the data of the electronic device to the IoT server through the network system to realize the automatic location tracking and positioning of the electronic tags and electronic devices. At the same time, it can also support large-scale networking layout of electronic devices and electronic tags.

[0147] It should be understood that the IoT server can also confirm the correspondence between the electronic tag and the electronic device. By obtaining and maintaining the electronic device's ID, it can locate the electronic tag and the electronic device's location information, allowing the IoT server to send passive IoT service instructions to the electronic device and its corresponding electronic tag via the 5G network system. Furthermore, the IoT server can also obtain binding information related to it, such as N6 tunnel identification information, transmitted by the 5G network system.

[0148] Optionally, after obtaining the attribute information of the electronic device from the UDM through the AMF in the network system, the method further includes:

[0149] During the process of registering the electronic device with the Internet of Things server via the network system, obtaining the electronic tag ID indicated by the electronic device;

[0150] The corresponding relationship between the electronic tag ID and the identification information is recorded through the tag management function.

[0151] During implementation, the tag management function also stores the identification information of the electronic tags corresponding to the successfully inventoried electronic devices, allowing the tag management function to record the identification ID information, location information, and other information of the electronic devices and their corresponding electronic tags. This allows the tag management function to not only store and manage the identification information carried by electronic devices but also to record the correspondence between the electronic devices and their corresponding electronic tags. The correspondence between the electronic device acting as an excitation source and its corresponding electronic tag can be recorded in the tag management function, allowing for the maintenance of subsequent related passive IoT services and the completion of value-added functions such as authentication.

[0152] Optionally, before receiving data sent by the electronic device, the method further includes:

[0153] receiving a registration data packet sent by the electronic device, wherein the registration data packet carries attribute information of the electronic device;

[0154] Forward the registration data packet to the Internet of Things server.

[0155] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may pre-register with the network system before initiating a registration request to the Internet of Things server via the network system (which may be the first registration request initiated in the aforementioned embodiment), and obtain a registration data packet in this process and store it in the network system. Then, when the electronic device initiates registration again (which may be the second registration request initiated in the aforementioned embodiment), the registration data packet stored in the first registration request is forwarded to the Internet of Things server. In another embodiment, the registration data packet may be a registration data packet in the registration request sent directly to the Internet of Things server via the network system when the electronic device initiates a registration request to the Internet of Things server via the network system (i.e., the second registration request).

[0156] Specifically, the registration request sent by the electronic device to the network system may include a registration data packet. The network system receives the registration data packet and obtains the attribute information related to the electronic device carried in the registration data packet. This attribute information can be consistent with the attribute information carried in the subsequent registration request sent to the IoT server, and both can include the identification information of the electronic device. The identification information can also include the IoT UE type information or IoT CPE type information corresponding to the electronic device, as well as the VIP level information of the electronic device.

[0157] When the registration data packet carries the attribute information of the electronic device, the attribute information can be stored in the data packet header or the extension packet header. In this way, the electronic device can be registered on the network system before registering with the IoT server, and the relevant attribute information of the electronic device can be configured in the network system. When the network system transmits data between the electronic device and the IoT server, it can determine the corresponding IoT transmission path based on the type of electronic device or VIP level information, thereby providing differentiated services for data transmission.

[0158] Optionally, the receiving a registration data packet sent by the electronic device includes:

[0159] receiving the registration data packet through a tag management function in the network system, wherein the registration data packet carries attribute information of the electronic device; and sending the attribute information of the electronic device to the SMF in the network system through the tag management function;

[0160] The forwarding the registration data packet to the Internet of Things server includes:

[0161] Forwarding the registration data packet to the Internet of Things server through the tag management function;

[0162] Alternatively, the receiving a registration data packet sent by the electronic device includes:

[0163] Receiving the registration data packet through the UPF in the network system; sending the attribute information of the electronic device to the SMF in the network system through the UPF;

[0164] The forwarding the registration data packet to the Internet of Things server includes:

[0165] Forwarding the registration data packet to the IoT server through the UPF;

[0166] The determining of the target transmission strategy according to the attribute information of the electronic device includes:

[0167] The SMF determines the target transmission strategy based on the electronic device's attribute information. As shown in Figure 4, the tag management function can exist as a standalone functional unit of the network system, interfacing only with the AMF. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 5, the tag management function can be combined with other functional units in the network system, such as the AMF, SMF, UPF, and NEF. In this case, the tag management function interfaces with each of these three units. Consequently, when an electronic device sends a registration data packet to a network system or IoT server, it can be sent to the tag management function or the UPF. The tag management function or the UPF can then obtain the attribute information included in the registration data. Subsequently, the tag management function or the UPF can send this attribute information to the SMF, which then performs session management based on the electronic device's attribute information. When data is subsequently transmitted between the electronic device and the IoT server, the appropriate IoT transmission path can be selected based on the device type or VIP level information contained in the acquired attribute information, providing differentiated data transmission services based on different IoT transmission paths.

[0168] In this way, passive IoT technology and cellular network system technology can be integrated to achieve data transmission between electronic devices and passive IoT servers, shorten the communication distance, and provide different communication transmission differentiated services based on the attribute information corresponding to the electronic devices, adapting to different scenarios of passive IoT applications. Optionally, the transmission path is any transmission path in a transmission path set, the transmission path set including a path sequentially passing through the access network element, mobility management function (AMF), and session management function (SMF) in the network system to the IoT server, a path sequentially passing through the access network element, the AMF, the SMF, and user plane function (UPF) in the network system to the IoT server, a path sequentially passing through the access network element and the UPF in the network system to the IoT server, a path sequentially passing through the access network element, the AMF, the tag management function, the AMF, and the SMF in the network system to the IoT server, and a path sequentially passing through the access network element, the AMF, the tag management function, the AMF, the SMF, and the UPF in the network system to the IoT server.

[0169] It should be understood that the IoT server in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be a passive IoT server when applied to passive IoT technology, and can serve as a DN. In this case, the electronic device can act as a passive IoT user in the 5G network system to transmit data to the passive IoT server. In a communication system that integrates passive IoT technology and the 5G network system, specific data transmission paths can include electronic device <-> RAN <-> AMF <-> tag management function <-> AMF <-> SMF <-> AF <-> DN, electronic device <-> RAN <-> AMF <-> tag management function <-> AMF <-> SMF <-> UPF <-> DN, and electronic device <-> RAN <-> UPF <-> DN. For data that does not require tag management function maintenance, for example, data can be transmitted directly from electronic device <-> RAN <-> AMF <-> SMF <-> AF <-> DN. This path can transmit data sent by previously trusted subscribers, or data can be transmitted via paths such as electronic device <-> RAN <-> AMF <-> SMF <-> UPF <-> DN. These different paths can be selected to transmit data based on different data transmission service requirements. During the path transmission process, the 5G network system can provide differentiated services for the data transmitted by the electronic device based on the IOT UE type, IOT CPE type and / or level information of the electronic device, so as to improve the efficiency of data transmission of the network system, distinguish business scenarios, and realize the transmission of passive IoT services in the cellular network.

[0170] Optionally, the transmission path is a path sequentially passing through the access network element and the UPF in the network system to the Internet of Things server; the method further includes:

[0171] The data is copied through the access network element or the UPF, and the copied data is sent to the label management function.

[0172] It should be understood that the transmission path in the present disclosure can be any of the paths in the above-mentioned embodiments, but each path will pass through the RAN and UPF to transmit data to the IoT server. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned IoT transmission path is a path that passes through the RAN and UPF in the 5G network system to the IoT server. During this process, the UPF or RAN can copy the transmitted data and send it to the AMF, which then sends it to the tag management function to facilitate data maintenance through the tag management function. The tag management function can record the received data and, based on the predetermined correspondence between the electronic tag and the electronic device, confirm whether the IoT service execution sent by the IoT server is executable before the electronic device sends data to the IoT server.

[0173] Optionally, before receiving the data sent by the electronic device, the method further includes:

[0174] Receiving an Internet of Things service instruction for the electronic device sent by the Internet of Things server;

[0175] Sending the Internet of Things service instruction to the electronic device, so that the electronic device sends an excitation signal and the Internet of Things service instruction to the electronic tag;

[0176] The data is sent by the electronic device to the network system when the electronic device receives a response message from the electronic tag to the Internet of Things service instruction.

[0177] It is understandable that after the electronic device sends a registration request to the IoT server via the 5G network system and successfully registers, the IoT server can use the identification information of the electronic device obtained during the registration process, which can be the ID of the electronic device or information bound to the 5G network system, to send IoT business instructions to the corresponding electronic device. The IoT business instructions can instruct the corresponding electronic device and electronic tag to make feedback, facilitate data transmission, and reduce the limitation of communication distance. In addition, the IoT server can be a passive IoT server, and the passive IoT server can be connected to the 5G network system through the interface of the Network Exposure Function (NEF), and then sent to the AMF by the NEF, or sent to the SMF by the NEF, and then forwarded to the AMF by the SMF, and finally sent to the electronic device by the AMF.

[0178] Optionally, the sending the Internet of Things service instruction to the electronic device includes:

[0179] Send the IoT service instruction to the tag management function via the AMF in the network system;

[0180] When the tag management function instructs to process the Internet of Things service instruction, the Internet of Things service instruction is sent to the electronic device through the AMF.

[0181] As can be understood, since the tag management function only interfaces with the AMF, IoT service instructions sent from the IoT server can be sent to the AMF, which then forwards them to the tag management function. Specifically, after receiving an IoT service instruction from the IoT server, the tag management function can determine, based on policies, whether the IoT service instruction can be executed and whether it can be sent by the AMF to the electronic device and electronic tag. These policies may include access permissions for the passive IoT server, such as an access password, restrictions on service instruction delivery recipients, and the time it triggers the service instruction. After the tag management function determines that the IoT service instruction can be sent by the AMF to the electronic device, the AMF sends the IoT service instruction to the electronic device. Furthermore, the IoT service instruction can be forwarded via a base station. Finally, the electronic device that receives the IoT service instruction can send an activation signal and the IoT service instruction to the corresponding electronic tag. Thus, by introducing the tag management function during the process of the IoT server sending the IoT service instruction to the electronic device, the tag management function can determine the IoT service instruction and analyze whether the IoT service server is the IoT server corresponding to the electronic device, thereby enabling the management and maintenance of passive IoT services in the 5G network system.
