Description

Processing method, communication device and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a processing method, communication equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In existing protocols, IoT (Internet of Things) devices need to support DO-DTT (Device-originated-device-terminated triggered) and DT (Device-terminated) services. That is, the device will not actively access the network and requires a reader (a device or component that receives or sends messages, such as a base station) to send a trigger message to trigger the device to access the network.

[0003] During the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems:

[0004] The reader sends a trigger message to trigger multiple devices to access the network, which may cause access problems. For example, the resources for device access (such as RACH resources) cannot be well allocated, resulting in low device access efficiency. Or, due to the high deployment density of A-IoT devices, there is access congestion problem. Or, it cannot be guaranteed that all devices can successfully access the network in one trigger process. Continuing to trigger the process may cause devices that have successfully accessed the network before to continue to respond, which may lead to unnecessary access.

[0005] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Technical Solutions

[0107] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc. may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used solely to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the term "if," as used herein, may be interpreted as "upon," "when," or "in response to a determination."

When implementing the step, those skilled in the art may execute S2 first and then S1, etc., but these should all be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0111] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0112] In the subsequent description, the use of suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" to represent elements is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and has no specific meaning. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0115] The subsequent description will be made using a mobile terminal as an example. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in addition to components specifically used for mobile purposes, the configuration according to the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to fixed-type terminal devices.

[0116] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application. The mobile terminal 100 may include components such as an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (Audio / Video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mobile terminal structure shown in Figure 1 does not limit the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0117] The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal in conjunction with Figure 1:

[0118] The RF unit 101 can be used to send and receive information or receive signals during calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 110 for processing. It also transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and / or other components. Furthermore, the RF unit 101 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communications can use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), 5G and 6G, etc.

[0119] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. A mobile terminal, through WiFi module 102, enables users to send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing wireless broadband Internet access. Although FIG1 illustrates WiFi module 102, it is understood that it is not a required component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without altering the essence of the invention.

[0120] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, or the like.

[0121] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos captured by an image capture device (e.g., a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 may be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 may receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as a phone call mode, a recording mode, and a voice recognition mode, and may process such sound into audio data. In the phone call mode, the processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the RF unit 101. The microphone 1042 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0122] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Optionally, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured in the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be described here.

Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071) and drive corresponding connected devices according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch direction and detects the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 110. It can also receive and execute commands sent by the processor 110. And / or, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072. Optionally, the other input devices 1072 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, power keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc., and the specifics are not limited here.

[0125] Optionally, the touch panel 1071 may overlay the display panel 1061. When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. The processor 110 then provides a corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 based on the type of touch event. Although in FIG1 , the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are shown as two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, in some embodiments, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal, which is not limited to this specific embodiment.

Optionally, the program storage area may store an operating system and at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function or an image playback function); the data storage area may store data generated based on the use of the mobile phone (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.). Furthermore, / or, memory 109 may include high-speed random access memory and non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0128] Processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal, connecting all components of the mobile terminal using various interfaces and circuits. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in memory 109 and accessing data stored in memory 109, it executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the mobile terminal. Processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor primarily handles the operating system, user interface, and application programs, while the modem processor primarily handles wireless communications. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into processor 110.

[0129] The mobile terminal 100 may also include a power supply 111 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 111 may be logically connected to the processor 110 through a power management system, thereby managing functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption through the power management system.

MME 2031 is optionally a control node that processes signaling between UE 201 and EPC 203, providing bearer and connection management. HSS 2032 provides registers for managing functions such as the Home Location Register (not shown) and stores user-specific information such as service features and data rates. All user data can be sent through SGW2034, PGW2035 can provide IP address allocation and other functions for UE 201, PCRF2036 is the policy and charging control policy decision point for service data flow and IP bearer resources, and it selects and provides available policy and charging control decisions for the policy and charging execution function unit (not shown in the figure).

[0145] Technical terms involved in this embodiment:

[0148] DO-DTT: Device-originated-device-terminated triggered, device originated - device terminated triggered;

[0149] AIoT: Ambient IoT, Environmental Internet of Things;

[0152] First embodiment

[0153] 5 , which is a flow chart of a processing method according to a first embodiment of the present application, the processing method according to the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a device (such as an IoT device), and includes the following steps:

[0154] S2: The device performs a first process based on the first information.

[0155] The system architecture involved in the solution of this embodiment includes: a device, a first network node, and a second network node.

[0156] Optionally, the device is an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

[0157] Optionally, the first network node is a reader (a device or component that receives or sends a message, such as a base station or a user equipment).

[0158] Optionally, the second network node is a core network device or a reader upper layer device.

[0159] This embodiment takes into account that IoT devices need to support DO-DTT and DT services, that is, the devices will not actively access the network, and the first network node (such as a reader) needs to send a trigger message to trigger the device to access the network. The first network node sending a trigger message to trigger multiple devices to access the network will cause access problems. For example, the resources for device access (such as RACH resources) cannot be well allocated, resulting in low device access efficiency, or due to the high density of IoT device deployment, there is access congestion, or it cannot be guaranteed that all devices will successfully access the network in one trigger process. Continuing to trigger the process may cause devices that have successfully accessed the network to continue to respond, thereby leading to unnecessary access.

[0160] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a solution that can avoid or improve access problems.

[0161] In this embodiment, the device performs a first process based on the first information.

[0162] Optionally, the first information is provided to the device by the first network node, and the first information is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0163] Optionally, the first information may be carried by the first message.

[0164] Optionally, the first message may be a trigger message, a paging message, or a paging message similar to the trigger message.

[0165] Optionally, the first network node sends a first message to one, a group, or all devices, and the device obtains first information through the first message, thereby triggering one, a group, or all devices to access the network.

[0166] A first network node (such as a reader) sends a first message to trigger multiple devices to access the network. If the first network node does not know the number of devices, it will not be able to properly provide the first information and / or allocate resources for device access (such as RACH resources), which may lead to low device access efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second network node (such as a core network device) can provide the first network node (such as a reader) with the number of devices, so that the first network node can properly provide the first information and / or allocate resources for device access (such as RACH resources), thereby avoiding low device access efficiency.

[0167] Optionally, the first information includes: a numerical value Q, the number of first message delivery attempts M, the current number of first message delivery times or the remaining number of first message delivery times N, first message identification information, first network node identification information, access failure response indication and at least one of indication information.

[0168] Optionally, the first network node sends the first information through a first message, and the first information carries indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the first message is directed to a group or all devices.

[0169] Optionally, the value Q is determined by the first network node according to the number of devices and / or the number of devices that have successfully accessed.

[0170] Optionally, the value Q is provided to the device to select an access time slot, opportunity, or time, and the device then attempts to access the network at the selected access time slot, opportunity, or time, thereby avoiding access congestion problems that may exist due to the high deployment density of IoT devices.

[0171] Optionally, the number M of first message sending attempts is determined by the first network node according to the device quantity information and / or the number of packets and / or the number of first message sending attempts.

[0172] Optionally, the number of attempts M to send the first message is provided to the device to determine the group to which it belongs. The device can then determine the first message that needs to be responded to based on the group and attempt to access the network, thereby avoiding access congestion problems that may exist due to the high deployment density of IoT devices.

[0173] Optionally, the first network node identification information is a cell identification or a user equipment identification.

[0174] Optionally, the first network node identification information is provided to the device so that the device can determine whether to respond to the current first message based on the first network node identification information, and further determine whether to attempt to access the network. This prevents devices that have previously successfully accessed the network from continuing to respond to the triggered access procedure, thereby avoiding unnecessary access, if it is not possible to ensure that all devices can successfully access the network after a single triggering process, and the first network node may continue to trigger the access procedure.

[0175] Optionally, the access failure response indication is used to indicate that only the device that fails to access needs to respond to the first message.

[0176] Optionally, performing a first process based on the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0177] The device performs a second process based on the first information;

[0178] When the first condition is met, the device attempts to access the network.

[0179] Optionally, performing the second processing according to the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0180] Selecting an access time slot or opportunity or time based on the value Q;

[0181] Determine or update the current time slot or opportunity or time or timing based on the second information sent by the first network node;

[0182] The group to which the device belongs is confirmed based on the number M of first message delivery attempts.

[0183] Optionally, the first condition is satisfied, including at least one of the following:

[0184] When the access slot or opportunity or time of the device is reached;

[0185] When the first message matches the group to which the device belongs;

[0186] When the device does not store the first message identification information locally or the stored first message identification information is inconsistent with the first message;

[0187] When the device does not locally store the first network node identification information or the stored first network node identification information is inconsistent with the first message;

[0188] When the device access fails and the first message carries an access failure response indication.

[0189] Optionally, the first message matches the group to which the device belongs, including at least one of the following:

[0190] Confirming that it is the turn of the group to which the device belongs to access the network based on the current first message delivery number N or the remaining first message delivery number N;

[0191] It is confirmed based on the number of received first messages that it is the turn of the group to which the device belongs to access the network.

[0192] Optionally, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0193] When the device fails to access the network, it randomly selects a group from the remaining groups and tries to access the corresponding group;

[0194] When the device successfully accesses the network, storing the first message identification information or replacing the locally stored first message identification information;

[0195] When the device successfully accesses the network, the first network node identification information is stored or the locally stored first network node identification information is replaced.

[0196] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, when the first network node (such as a reader) supports triggering multiple devices to access the network, access problems can be avoided or improved.

[0197] Second embodiment

[0198] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, a second embodiment of the present application is proposed. This embodiment mainly describes a method for processing the situation where the first network node does not know the device quantity information and is unable to effectively allocate device access resources.

[0199] The system architecture involved in the solution of this embodiment includes: a device, a first network node, and a second network node.

[0200] Optionally, the device is an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

[0201] Optionally, the first network node is a reader (a device or component that receives or sends a message, such as a base station or a user equipment).

[0202] Optionally, the second network node is a core network device or a reader upper layer device.

[0203] This embodiment takes into account that IoT devices need to support DO-DTT and DT services. Specifically, devices do not actively access the network and require a reader to send a trigger message to trigger network access. This reader sending a trigger message to trigger multiple devices to access the network can lead to access issues, such as the inability to properly allocate resources for device access (such as RACH resources), resulting in low device access efficiency. Therefore, this embodiment proposes a solution in which the device performs a first process based on the first information, which can avoid or improve access issues.

[0204] Optionally, the first information is provided to the device by the first network node, and the first information is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0205] Optionally, the first information may be carried by the first message.

[0206] Optionally, the first message may be a trigger message, a paging message, or a paging message similar to the trigger message.

[0207] Optionally, the first network node sends a first message to one, a group, or all devices, and the device obtains first information through the first message, thereby triggering one, a group, or all devices to access the network.

[0208] A first network node (such as a reader) sends a first message to trigger multiple devices to access the network. If the first network node does not know the number of devices, it will not be able to properly provide the first information and / or allocate resources for device access (such as RACH resources), which may lead to low device access efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second network node (such as a core network device) can provide the first network node (such as a reader) with the number of devices, so that the first network node can better provide the first information and / or allocate resources for device access (such as RACH resources), thereby avoiding low device access efficiency.

[0209] Optionally, the first information includes: a numerical value Q, the number of first message delivery attempts M, the current number of first message delivery times or the remaining number of first message delivery times N, first message identification information, first network node identification information, access failure response indication and at least one of indication information.

[0210] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to specific scenarios:

[0211] As shown in FIG6 , a first network node (eg, a reader) interacts with a device (eg, a device) and a second network node (eg, a core network).

[0212] Optionally, the core network device sends a service request to the reader, carrying device quantity information in the service request. The reader receives the service request sent by the core network and obtains the device quantity information from the service request. Thus, the reader can better provide the first information and / or allocate device access resources (such as RACH resources) based on the device quantity information to avoid low device access efficiency.

[0213] Optionally, the first network node sends a trigger message to the device, where the trigger message is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0214] Optionally, taking the first network node as a reader as an example, when triggering access of a group or all devices, the reader needs to know the quantity information of the devices so as to better allocate resources for device access.

[0215] Optionally, the core network device provides device quantity information to the reader through a service request. For example, the core network device may provide device quantity information under the reader's coverage based on information provided by an upper layer or historical access information.

[0216] Optionally, the device quantity information may be device quantity cardinality and cardinality count information. For example, the quantity cardinality may be 100 / 1000 / 10000, etc., and the cardinality count may be 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5, etc.

[0217] Alternatively, for example, if the provided cardinality is 1000 and the cardinality count is 5, the number of devices covered by the reader is approximately 5*1000=5000.

[0218] Optionally, the device quantity information may be approximate quantity information or quantity range information, which is used to assist the reader in sending the trigger message.

[0219] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, when the reader supports triggering multiple devices to access the network, access problems can be avoided or improved.

[0220] Third embodiment

[0221] Based on any of the above embodiments of the present application, a third embodiment of the present application is proposed. This embodiment mainly describes a method for handling access congestion problems that may occur due to high device deployment density.

[0222] The system architecture involved in the solution of this embodiment includes: a device, a first network node, and a second network node.

[0223] Optionally, the device is an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

[0224] Optionally, the first network node is a reader (a device or component that receives or sends a message, such as a base station or a user equipment).

[0225] Optionally, the second network node is a core network device or a reader upper layer device.

[0226] This embodiment takes into account that IoT devices need to support DO-DTT and DT services. This means that the devices will not actively access the network and require a first network node (such as a reader) to send a trigger message to trigger the device to access the network. The first network node sending a trigger message to trigger multiple devices to access the network can lead to access issues, such as access congestion due to the high density of IoT device deployments.

[0227] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a solution that can avoid or improve access problems.

[0228] In this embodiment, the device performs a first process based on the first information.

[0229] Optionally, the first information is provided to the device by the first network node, and the first information is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0230] Optionally, the first information may be carried by the first message.

[0231] Optionally, the first message may be a trigger message, a paging message, or a paging message similar to the trigger message.

[0232] Optionally, the first network node sends a first message to one, a group, or all devices, and the device obtains first information through the first message, thereby triggering one, a group, or all devices to access the network.

[0233] Optionally, the first information includes: at least one of a numerical value Q and indication information.

[0234] Optionally, the first network node sends the first information through a first message, and the first information carries indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the first message is directed to a group or all devices.

[0235] Optionally, the value Q is determined by the first network node according to the number of devices and / or the number of devices that have successfully accessed.

[0236] Optionally, the value Q is provided to the device to select an access time slot, opportunity, or time, and the device then attempts to access the network at the selected access time slot, opportunity, or time, thereby avoiding access congestion problems that may exist due to the high deployment density of IoT devices.

[0237] Optionally, the device performs a first process based on the first information, including:

[0238] The device selects an access time slot or opportunity or time based on the value Q;

[0239] The device determines or updates the current time slot or opportunity or time or timing based on the second information sent by the first network node;

[0240] When the device's access slot or opportunity or time arrives, an attempt is made to access the network.

[0241] Optionally, the second information is a timing signal.

[0242] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to specific scenarios:

[0243] As shown in FIG7 , a first network node (eg, a reader) interacts with a device (eg, a device) and a second network node (eg, a core network).

[0244] Optionally, the core network device sends a service request to the reader, carrying device quantity information in the service request. The reader receives the service request sent by the core network and obtains the device quantity information from the service request. Thus, the first network node can better provide the first information and / or allocate device access resources (such as RACH resources) based on the device quantity information to avoid low device access efficiency.

[0245] Optionally, the reader sends a trigger message to the device, where the trigger message is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0246] Optionally, taking the first network node as a reader as an example, the reader sends a trigger message (Trigger Message), and the trigger message carries an indication, indicating that the trigger message is for a group or all devices.

[0247] Optionally, the reader sends the value Q according to the device quantity information provided by the upper layer (such as the core network device) and / or the quantity information of the successfully connected devices.

[0248] Optionally, the value Q may be delivered together with the trigger message, which is not limited here.

[0249] Optionally, the device receives a value Q sent by the reader and selects an access time slot, opportunity, or time according to the Q value.

[0250] Optionally, the device receives a timing signal sent by the reader, and determines or updates a current time slot, opportunity, time, or timing.

[0251] Optionally, when the access slot or opportunity or time of the device arrives, the device attempts to access the network.

[0252] This can avoid access congestion problems that may occur due to the high deployment density of IoT devices.

[0253] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, when the reader supports triggering multiple devices to access the network, access problems can be avoided or improved. For example, access congestion problems that exist when IoT devices are deployed in high density can be avoided.

[0254] Fourth embodiment

[0255] Based on any of the above embodiments of the present application, a fourth embodiment of the present application is proposed. This embodiment mainly describes a method for processing access congestion problems that may occur due to the high deployment density of IoT devices.

[0256] The system architecture involved in the solution of this embodiment includes: a device, a first network node, and a second network node.

[0257] Optionally, the device is an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

[0258] Optionally, the first network node is a reader (a device or component that receives or sends a message, such as a base station or a user equipment).

[0259] Optionally, the second network node is a core network device or a reader upper layer device.

[0260] This embodiment takes into account the need for IoT devices to support both DO-DTT and DT services. This means that devices do not actively access the network and require a first network node (such as a reader) to send a trigger message to trigger network access. In the A-IoT scenario, the first network node sending a trigger message to trigger multiple devices to access the network can lead to access issues, such as access congestion due to the high density of IoT device deployments.

[0261] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a solution that can avoid or improve access problems.

[0262] In this embodiment, the device performs a first process based on the first information.

[0263] Optionally, the first information is provided to the device by the first network node, and the first information is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0264] Optionally, the first information may be carried by the first message.

[0265] Optionally, the first message may be a trigger message, a paging message, or a paging message similar to the trigger message.

[0266] Optionally, the first network node sends a first message to one, a group, or all devices, and the device obtains first information through the first message, thereby triggering one, a group, or all devices to access the network.

[0267] Optionally, the first information includes: at least one of the number of first message delivery attempts M, the current first message delivery number or the remaining first message delivery number N, and indication information.

[0268] Optionally, the first network node sends the first information through a first message, and the first information carries indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the first message is directed to a group or all devices.

[0269] Optionally, the number M of first message sending attempts is determined by the first network node according to the device quantity information and / or the number of packets and / or the number of first message sending attempts.

[0270] Optionally, the number of attempts M to send the first message is provided to the device to determine the group to which it belongs. The device can then determine the first message that needs to be responded to based on the group and attempt to access the network, thereby avoiding access congestion problems that may exist due to the high deployment density of IoT devices.

[0271] Optionally, performing a first process based on the first information includes:

[0272] The device confirms the group to which the device belongs based on the number of times M that the first message is attempted to be sent, and attempts to access the network when the first message matches the group to which the device belongs.

[0273] Optionally, the first message matches the group to which the device belongs, including at least one of the following:

[0274] Confirming that it is the turn of the group to which the device belongs to access the network based on the current first message delivery number N or the remaining first message delivery number N;

[0275] It is confirmed based on the number of received first messages that it is the turn of the group to which the device belongs to access the network.

[0276] Optionally, when the device fails to access the network, a group is randomly selected from the remaining groups and access is attempted in the corresponding group.

[0277] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to specific scenarios:

[0278] As shown in FIG8 , a first network node (eg, a reader) interacts with a device (eg, a device) and a second network node (eg, a core network).

[0279] Optionally, the core network device sends a service request to the reader, carrying device quantity information in the service request. The reader receives the service request sent by the core network and obtains the device quantity information from the service request. Thus, the reader can better provide the first information and / or allocate device access resources (such as RACH resources) based on the device quantity information to avoid low device access efficiency.

[0280] Optionally, the first network node sends a trigger message to the device, where the trigger message is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0281] Optionally, taking the first network node as a reader as an example, the reader sends a trigger message (Trigger Message), and the trigger message carries an indication, indicating that the trigger message is targeted at a group or all devices.

[0282] Optionally, the trigger message carries the number of trigger message delivery attempts M and the current number of trigger message delivery times N.

[0283] Optionally, the trigger message carries the number of trigger message delivery attempts M and the remaining number of trigger message delivery times N.

[0284] Optionally, the trigger message only carries the number of times M that the trigger message is attempted to be delivered.

[0285] Optionally, the reader determines the number of times M to attempt to send the trigger message according to the device quantity information or the number of packets or the number of times the trigger message is sent provided by an upper layer (such as a core network device).

[0286] Optionally, the device receives the trigger message and determines the group to which it belongs based on the number of times the trigger message is attempted to be sent M. For example, the group is selected based on the device ID (such as group ID = device ID mod M), or a group is randomly selected. The trigger message that needs to be responded to is determined based on the group, and the groups are 0 to M-1.

[0287] Optionally, the device determines the trigger message to which it needs to respond based on the grouping, and can adopt at least one of the following solutions:

[0288] The first solution: If the group matches the current trigger message delivery count N or the remaining trigger message delivery count N in the trigger message (i.e., the current trigger message is targeted at devices in this group), the device responds to the trigger message and attempts to access the network. Otherwise, it continues to listen for trigger messages. For example, if the device determines that it belongs to group 2 and the current trigger message delivery count N is 2, the device responds to the trigger message and attempts to access the network. In other words, the device only responds to trigger messages from the trigger message belonging to its own group.

[0289] The second solution: The device determines whether it is its group's turn to access the network based on the number of trigger messages it receives. For example, if the device determines that it belongs to the second group, when it receives the second trigger message, it responds to the trigger message and attempts to access the network. In other words, the device only responds to trigger messages from its own group.

[0290] Optionally, if the device responds to the trigger message in its own group, when access fails, the device randomly selects one from the remaining trigger messages to attempt access.

[0291] This can avoid access congestion problems that may occur due to the high deployment density of IoT devices.

[0292] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, when the reader supports triggering multiple devices to access the network, access problems can be avoided or improved, for example, access congestion problems that exist when IoT devices are deployed in high density can be avoided.

[0294] Based on any of the above embodiments of the present application, a fifth embodiment of the present application is proposed. This embodiment mainly describes a method for processing access congestion problems that may occur due to high device deployment density.

[0295] Optionally, the solution of this embodiment may be a combination of the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment.

[0296] Optionally, the system architecture involved in the solution of this embodiment includes: a device, a first network node, and a second network node.

[0297] Optionally, the device is an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

[0298] Optionally, the first network node is a reader (a device or component that receives or sends a message, such as a base station or a user equipment).

[0299] Optionally, the second network node is a core network device or a reader upper layer device.

[0300] This embodiment takes into account that IoT devices need to support DO-DTT and DT services. This means that the devices will not actively access the network and require a first network node (such as a reader) to send a trigger message to trigger the device to access the network. The first network node sending a trigger message to trigger multiple devices to access the network can lead to access issues, such as access congestion due to the high density of IoT device deployments.

[0301] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a solution that can avoid or improve access problems.

[0302] In this embodiment, the device performs a first process based on the first information.

[0306] Optionally, the first network node sends a first message to one, a group, or all devices, and the device obtains first information through the first message, thereby triggering one, a group, or all devices to access the network.

[0307] Optionally, the first information includes at least one of: a value Q, a number of first message delivery attempts M, a current first message delivery number or a remaining first message delivery number N, and indication information.

[0308] Optionally, the first network node sends the first information through a first message, and the first information carries indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the first message is directed to a group or all devices.

[0309] Optionally, the value Q is determined by the first network node according to the number of devices and / or the number of devices that have successfully accessed.

[0310] Optionally, the value Q is provided to the device to select an access time slot, opportunity, or time, and the device then attempts to access the network at the selected access time slot, opportunity, or time, thereby avoiding access congestion problems that may exist due to the high deployment density of IoT devices.

[0311] Optionally, the number M of first message sending attempts is determined by the first network node according to the device quantity information and / or the number of packets and / or the number of first message sending attempts.

[0321] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, when the first network node (such as a reader) supports triggering multiple devices to access the network, access problems can be avoided or improved. For example, access congestion problems that exist when IoT devices are deployed in high density can be avoided.

[0322] Sixth embodiment

[0323] Based on any of the above embodiments of the present application, a sixth embodiment of the present application is proposed. This embodiment mainly describes a processing method for triggering an access process for a device that has successfully accessed the network.

[0324] The system architecture involved in the solution of this embodiment includes: a device, a first network node, and a second network node.

[0325] Optionally, the device is an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

[0326] Optionally, the first network node is a reader (a device or component that receives or sends a message, such as a base station or a user equipment).

[0327] Optionally, the second network node is a core network device or a reader upper layer device.

[0328] This embodiment takes into account that IoT devices need to support DO-DTT and DT services. This means that the devices will not actively access the network and require a first network node (such as a reader) to send a trigger message to trigger the device to access the network. Sending a trigger message by the first network node to trigger multiple devices to access the network can lead to access issues. For example, it may not be possible to guarantee that all devices successfully access the network in one trigger. Continuing to trigger the process may cause devices that previously successfully connected to the network to continue responding, resulting in unnecessary access.

[0329] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a solution that can avoid or improve access problems.

[0330] In this embodiment, the device performs a first process based on the first information.

[0331] Optionally, the first information is provided to the device by the first network node, and the first information is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0332] Optionally, the first information may be carried by the first message.

[0333] Optionally, the first message may be a trigger message, a paging message, or a paging message similar to the trigger message.

[0334] Optionally, the first network node sends a first message to one, a group, or all devices, and the device obtains first information through the first message, thereby triggering one, a group, or all devices to access the network.

[0335] Optionally, the first information includes: at least one of: first message identification information, first network node identification information and indication information.

[0336] Optionally, the first network node sends the first information through a first message, and the first information carries indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the first message is directed to a group or all devices.

[0337] Optionally, the first network node identification information is a cell identification or a user equipment identification.

[0338] Optionally, the first network node identification information is provided to the device so that the device can determine whether to respond to the current first message based on the first network node identification information, and further determine whether to attempt to access the network. This prevents devices that have previously successfully accessed the network from continuing to respond to the triggered access procedure, thereby avoiding unnecessary access, if it is not possible to guarantee that all devices can successfully access the network after a single triggering process, and the first network node may continue to trigger the access procedure.

[0339] Optionally, the access failure response indication is used to indicate that only the device that fails to access needs to respond to the first message.

[0340] Optionally, performing a first process based on the first information includes:

[0341] When the device does not locally store the first message identification information or the stored first message identification information is inconsistent with the first message, or when the device does not locally store the first network node identification information or the stored first network node identification information is inconsistent with the first message, or when the device access fails and the first message carries an access failure response indication, attempt to access the network.

[0342] Optionally, when the device successfully accesses the network, the first message identification information is stored or the locally stored first message identification information is replaced.

[0343] Optionally, when the device successfully accesses the network, the first network node identification information is stored or the locally stored first network node identification information is replaced.

[0344] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to specific scenarios:

[0345] Taking the first network node as a reader as an example, the reader sends a trigger message (Trigger Message), and the trigger message carries an indication, indicating that the trigger message is for a group or all devices.

[0346] Optionally, the trigger message carries session identification information and / or reader identification, for example, for topology 1 (i.e., the base station communicates directly with the device as a reader) it can be the cell ID, and for topology 2 (i.e., the base station communicates with the device through an intermediate node) it can be the terminal device ID.

[0347] Optionally, the session identification information is sent to the reader by the core network device.

[0348] Optionally, the device receives a trigger message, and the device belongs to the device targeted by the trigger message (for example, the trigger message is targeted at a group of devices and the device belongs to the group, or the trigger message is targeted at all devices). If the device does not store the session identifier locally, or the session identifier stored locally on the device is inconsistent with the trigger message, or the device does not store the reader identifier locally, or the reader identifier stored locally on the device is inconsistent with the one carried in the trigger message, the device responds to the trigger message and attempts to access the network.

[0349] Optionally, if the device successfully accesses the network, the locally stored session identifier is replaced with the session identifier information, and / or the reader identifier is stored or replaced with the locally stored reader identifier.

[0350] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, when the reader supports triggering multiple devices to access the network, access problems can be avoided or improved. For example, the device that has successfully accessed the network will no longer continue to respond to trigger the access process, thereby avoiding unnecessary access.

[0351] Seventh embodiment

[0352] Based on any of the above embodiments of the present application, a seventh embodiment of the present application is proposed. This embodiment mainly describes a processing method when a device that has successfully accessed the network no longer responds to triggering the access process.

[0353] The system architecture involved in the solution of this embodiment includes: a device, a first network node, and a second network node.

[0354] Optionally, the device is an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

[0355] Optionally, the first network node is a reader (a device or component that receives or sends a message, such as a base station or a user equipment).

[0356] Optionally, the second network node is a core network device or a reader upper layer device.

[0357] This embodiment takes into account that IoT devices need to support DO-DTT and DT services. This means that the devices will not actively access the network and require a first network node (such as a reader) to send a trigger message to trigger the device to access the network. Sending a trigger message by the first network node to trigger multiple devices to access the network can lead to access issues. For example, it may not be possible to guarantee that all devices successfully access the network in one trigger. Continuing to trigger the process may cause devices that previously successfully connected to the network to continue responding, resulting in unnecessary access.

[0358] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a solution that can avoid or improve access problems.

[0359] In this embodiment, the device performs a first process based on the first information.

[0360] Optionally, the first information is provided to the device by the first network node, and the first information is used to trigger one device, a group of devices, or all devices to access the network.

[0361] Optionally, the first information may be carried by the first message.

[0362] Optionally, the first message may be a trigger message, a paging message, or a paging message similar to the trigger message.

[0363] Optionally, the first network node sends a first message to one, a group, or all devices, and the device obtains first information through the first message, thereby triggering one, a group, or all devices to access the network.

[0364] Optionally, the first information includes: at least one of an access failure response indication and indication information.

[0365] Optionally, the first network node sends the first information through a first message, and the first information carries indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the first message is directed to a group or all devices.

[0366] Optionally, the access failure response indication is used to indicate that only devices that failed to access the network need to respond to the first message, so that the device can determine whether to respond to the current first message based on the access failure response indication, and further decide whether to attempt to access the network. This prevents devices that have previously successfully accessed the network from continuing to respond to trigger the access procedure, thereby avoiding unnecessary access, if it is not possible to ensure that all devices can successfully access the network after triggering the process once, and the first network node may continue to trigger the access process.

[0367] Optionally, the device performs a first process based on the first information, including at least one of the following:

[0368] When the device fails to access the network and the first message carries an access failure response indication, the device attempts to access the network.

[0369] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to specific scenarios:

[0370] Taking the first network node as a reader as an example, the reader sends a trigger message (Trigger Message), and the trigger message carries an indication, indicating that the trigger message is for a group or all devices.

[0371] Optionally, the trigger message carries an access failure response indication, indicating that the trigger message is only for the device that failed to access.

[0372] Optionally, when the core network device carries an indication indicating access of a device that triggers an access failure, the reader sends a trigger message that carries an access failure response indication.

[0373] Optionally, if a device receives a trigger message and is one of the devices targeted by the trigger message (for example, if the trigger message is targeted at a group of devices and the device belongs to the group, or if the trigger message is targeted at all devices), the following solutions are available:

[0374] Optionally, if the trigger message does not carry an identifier, the device responds to the trigger message and attempts to access the network;

[0375] Optionally, if the trigger message carries an identifier indicating that the trigger message is only for the device that failed to access, and the device has successfully accessed before receiving the trigger message, the device ignores the trigger message, that is, does not respond to the trigger message.

[0376] Optionally, if the trigger message carries an identifier indicating that the trigger message is for a device that has failed to access the network, and the device has failed to access the network before receiving the trigger message, the device responds to the trigger message and attempts to access the network. Devices that have successfully accessed the network will no longer respond to the trigger access process, thereby avoiding unnecessary access.

[0377] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, when the reader supports triggering multiple devices to access the network, access problems can be avoided or improved. For example, the device that has successfully accessed the network will no longer continue to respond to trigger the access process, thereby avoiding unnecessary access.

[0378] Eighth embodiment

[0379] 9 is a flow chart of a processing method according to an eighth embodiment of the present application. The processing method according to the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a network device, which can be a first network node (such as a base station), and includes the following steps:

[0380] S1: A first network node sends first information, so that a device performs a first process based on the first information.

[0381] The system architecture involved in the solution of this embodiment includes: a device, a first network node, and a second network node.

[0382] Optionally, the device is an IoT (Internet of Things) device.

[0383] Optionally, the first network node is a reader (a device or component that receives or sends a message, such as a base station or a user equipment).

[0384] Optionally, the second network node is a core network device or a reader upper layer device.

[0385] This embodiment takes into account that IoT devices need to support DO-DTT and DT services, that is, the devices will not actively access the network, and the first network node (such as a reader) needs to send a trigger message to trigger the device to access the network. The first network node sending a trigger message to trigger multiple devices to access the network will cause access problems. For example, the resources for device access (such as RACH resources) cannot be well allocated, which may lead to low device access efficiency. Or, due to the high density of IoT device deployment, there may be access congestion problems. Or, it may not be possible to ensure that all devices successfully access the network in one trigger process. Continuing to trigger the process may cause devices that have successfully accessed the network before to continue to respond, thereby leading to unnecessary access.

If the first network node does not know the number of devices, it will not be able to properly provide the first information and / or allocate resources for device access (such as RACH resources), which may lead to low device access efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second network node (such as a core network device) can provide the first network node (such as a reader) with the number of devices, so that the first network node can properly provide the first information and / or allocate resources for device access (such as RACH resources), thereby avoiding low device access efficiency.

[0400] Optionally, the first network node identification information is a cell identification or a user equipment identification.

[0401] Optionally, the first network node identification information is provided to the device so that the device can determine whether to respond to the current first message based on the first network node identification information, and further determine whether to attempt to access the network. This prevents devices that have previously successfully accessed the network from continuing to respond to the triggered access procedure, thereby avoiding unnecessary access, if it is not possible to guarantee that all devices can successfully access the network after a single triggering process, and the first network node may continue to trigger the access procedure.

[0402] Optionally, the access failure response indication is used to indicate that only the device that fails to access needs to respond to the first message.

[0403] Optionally, the first network node sends second information to the device, where the second information is used by the device to determine or update a current time slot or opportunity or time or timing.

[0404] Optionally, the device performs a first process based on the first information, including at least one of the following:

[0412] When the access slot or opportunity or time of the device is reached;

[0413] When the first message matches the group to which the device belongs;

[0414] When the device does not store the first message identification information locally or the stored first message identification information is inconsistent with the first message;

[0415] When the device does not locally store the first network node identification information or the stored first network node identification information is inconsistent with the first message;

[0416] When the device access fails and the first message carries an access failure response indication.

[0417] Optionally, the first message matches the group to which the device belongs, including at least one of the following:

[0418] Confirming that it is the turn of the group to which the device belongs to access the network based on the current first message delivery number N or the remaining first message delivery number N;

[0424] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, when the first network node (such as a reader) supports triggering multiple devices to access the network, access problems can be avoided or improved.
