[0004] Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT), also known as Ambient Power-enabled Internet of Things (AIoT), is a type of IoT service. AIoT devices are low-power IoT devices, characterized by low overall power consumption, including low-power signal reception and transmission. Due to their low overall power consumption, the energy for communication can be derived from the environment, such as wind power, kinetic energy, heat energy, and radio frequency (RF) signals. AIoT devices can also be described as passive IoT devices or responding devices.

[0212] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0213] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same class, without limiting the number of objects; for example, the first object can be one or more. Furthermore, "or" in this application indicates at least one of the connected objects. For example, "A or B" covers three scenarios: Scenario 1: including A but not B; Scenario 2: including B but not A; Scenario 3: including both A and B. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0214] The term "instruction" in this application can be either a direct instruction (or explicit instruction) or an indirect instruction (or implicit instruction). A direct instruction can be understood as one in which the sender explicitly informs the receiver of specific information, the operation to be performed, or the requested result, etc., in the instruction sent. An indirect instruction can be understood as one in which the receiver determines the corresponding information based on the instruction sent by the sender, or makes a judgment and determines the operation to be performed or the requested result, etc., based on the judgment result.

[0215] It is worth noting that the technologies described in this application are not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), or other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used with the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as with other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes New Radio (NR) systems for illustrative purposes, and the term NR is used in most of the following description; however, these technologies can also be applied to systems other than NR systems, such as 6th generation (6G) radio systems. th Generation 6G communication system.

[0216] Question 1: Application scenarios of AIoT devices in mobile communication networks. Third-party applications can call services provided by the network, requesting readers / interrogators in the network to operate on a group of AIoT devices (e.g., inventory, read, write, kill, etc.), as shown in Figure 1a (the reader / interrogator can also be part of the network). Since different third-party applications may design different matching rules for AIoT device groups, and currently, the agents of third-party applications (e.g., application functions (AF)) do not support providing matching rules for AIoT device groups to core network devices, and the core network also does not support providing matching rules for AIoT device groups to readers / interrogators, filtering a group of AIoT devices is currently not supported. How to enable filtering of a group of AIoT devices is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0217] Question 2: In existing networks, the Core Network (CN) triggers paging of User Equipment (UE) to the Radio Access Network (RAN) via paging messages. These paging messages contain the identifiers of one or more UEs being paging, the paging area, and the paging interval. However, the paging messages do not support the AIoT device group matching rules mentioned in Question 1. Instead, a single group identifier can be used to identify a group of AIoT devices, whereas paging multiple UEs requires providing the identifiers of multiple UEs. This single group identifier can be shared by the AIoT devices. Currently, paging AIoT devices based on a group identifier is not supported, and the UE ID used for paging is a mandatory Information Element (IE). This mandatory IE cannot be used for filtering AIoT devices. How to implement support for paging AIoT devices based on a group identifier and how to handle the UE ID in the paging message are problems that need to be solved.

[0218] Question 3: When screening AIoT devices, multiple readers / interrogators may simultaneously perform the same task. How to handle the situation where a second reader / interrogator performs the same screening task after the first one has finished is a problem that needs to be solved. Additionally, after screening AIoT devices, read / write operations need to be performed. For AIoT devices that do not meet the matching rules, how to handle subsequent or next-step signaling (such as read / write operation instructions) is another problem that needs to be solved.

[0219] Figures 1a to 1f show block diagrams of several wireless communication systems applicable to embodiments of this application.

[0220] As shown in Figure 1a, an applicable wireless communication system according to this application embodiment includes an AIoT device, a reader / writer, a network (optional), and a third party (optional). To perform an AIoT task (such as inventory), the reader / writer needs to interact with the AIoT device.

[0221] In some scenarios, the network and third parties participate in the AIoT task. In other scenarios, the third party participates in the AIoT task. In still other scenarios, the network does not participate in the AIoT task. The network can be further divided into core network devices and access network devices.

[0222] Reader devices can also be called interrogator devices, such as terminals, relay devices, and Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) devices. AIoT devices are those capable of responding to AIoT tasks. As shown in Figure 1a, reader devices can communicate directly with AIoT devices without the need for intermediary devices. Wireless access network devices can perform wireless resource control for reader devices.

[0223] As shown in Figure 1b, an applicable wireless communication system according to this embodiment includes a core network device 11, an access network device 12 (or a reader / writer), and an AIoT device 14. The access network device can act as a reader / writer. In some scenarios, the core network device participates, while in others it does not.

[0224] As shown in Figures 1c, 1d, and 1e, an embodiment of this application provides a wireless communication system including a core network device 11, an access network device 12, an intermediate node 13, and an AIoT device 14. The access network device can act as a reader / writer. The intermediate node is responsible for relaying communication between the access network device and the AIoT device. In some scenarios, the core network device participates; in others, it does not.

[0343] In one embodiment of this application, UE ID refers to UE Identity Index Value or UE Paging Identity.

[0344] The operation execution method, processing device, communication equipment, and readable storage medium provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0345] Please refer to Figure 2. This application embodiment provides an operation execution method applied to a first communication device. The first communication device includes, but is not limited to, one of the following: an access network device (such as a RAN device), a terminal (such as a UE), a reader / writer (also known as an interrogator), and an intermediate device for the reader / writer. The method includes:

[0346] Step 21: The first communication device acquires first information, which includes at least one of the following: matching information; a first identifier; a second identifier;

[0347] Step 22: The first communication device performs the first operation based on the first information;

[0348] The first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0349] Filter one or more environmental AIoT devices;

[0350] Discover one or more AIoT devices;

[0351] Send a second message;

[0352] in,

[0353] The second information includes at least one of the following: matching information; a first identifier; a second identifier;

[0354] in,

[0355] The matching information is used to filter or match one or more AIoT devices;

[0356] The first identifier is used to identify one or more AIoT devices;

[0357] The second identifier is used to identify at least one of the following: one or more tasks, one or more sessions, or one or more processes.

[0358] In one embodiment, the first communication device includes one of the following: an access network device (such as a RAN device), a terminal (such as a UE), a reader (also known as an interrogator), and an intermediate device for the reader.

[0359] In one implementation, discovering one or more AIoT devices may also be referred to as paging one or more AIoT devices.

[0360] In one embodiment, sending the second information can be one of the following: sending the second information to a first interface, broadcasting the second information, or sending the second information to a second communication device (such as an AIoT device). The first interface is the interface between the first communication device (such as a reader / writer) and the AIoT device.

[0361] For example, the fourth communication device may send an AIoT service request to the third communication device, which triggers the third communication device to send at least one of matching information, a first identifier, and a second identifier to the fifth communication device; the fifth communication device then sends the first message to the first communication device.

[0362] For details regarding the third, fourth, and fifth communication devices, please refer to the descriptions of the corresponding embodiments; further details will not be provided here.

[0363] In one implementation, the first identifier can be a group identifier. It is understood that one or more AIoT devices identified by the first identifier can be considered as a group of AIoT devices, or the first identifier (which can be simply referred to as the group identifier) ​​can be used to identify one or more AIoT devices that constitute a group of AIoT devices. It is easy to understand that the first identifier can be used to filter or match one or more AIoT devices. For example, if it is necessary to filter 10,000 AIoT devices for inventory, it may be necessary to send the identifiers of 10,000 AIoT devices. If these 10,000 AIoT devices share a common identifier (i.e., the first identifier used to identify multiple AIoT devices (hereinafter referred to as the group identifier)), then sending one group identifier by the first communication device is sufficient. It is easy to understand that a group identifier used to identify multiple AIoT devices is more suitable for filtering a large number of AIoT devices than an identifier used to identify a single AIoT device.

[0364] An AIoT device can use either the identifier of the AIoT device (i.e., the identifier of a single AIoT device) or the first identifier (such as a group identifier).

[0365] In one implementation, the one or more tasks, sessions, or processes identified by the second identifier can be used to filter one or more AIoT devices. For example, consider an inventory task targeting 10,000 AIoT devices. Since inventorying cannot be completed with a single round-trip signaling, the first communication device may exchange multiple signaling messages with the AIoT devices during the task's lifecycle. An AIoT device may only continue interacting with the first communication device with other signaling messages for the task after receiving the first signaling message and confirming that it is the target AIoT device. If an AIoT device receives the first signaling message and confirms that it is not the target AIoT device, it can ignore subsequent signaling messages received for the task. It is easy to understand that the task identifier also achieves the effect of filtering or matching one or more AIoT devices.

[0366] The session, or process, is one of the manifestations of the task. The terms session, process, and task can be used interchangeably.

[0367] In one embodiment, sending the second information to the second communication device may include sending the second information to an AIoT device.

[0368] The second information may be used for at least one of the following:

[0369] Discover, match, or filter one or more AIoT devices;

[0370] The AIoT device will execute or not execute the relevant operations of the AIoT service based on whether the matching with the second information is successful or unsuccessful.

[0371] The AIoT device sends a first response or does not send a first response depending on whether the match with the second information is successful or unsuccessful.

[0372] Based on whether the AIoT device successfully or unsuccessfully matches the second information, the following operations related to the AIoT service will be performed or not:

[0373] If the AIoT device successfully matches the second information, the relevant operations of the AIoT service are executed.

[0374] If the AIoT device fails to match the second information, the relevant operations of the AIoT service will not be performed.

[0375] The operations related to performing AIoT services are as described in the second communication device embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0376] Optionally, after sending the second information to the second communication device, the method further includes:

[0377] The device receives a first response from a second communication device, the first response including at least one of the following: information for identifying the AIoT device, information indicating successful matching, or information indicating failed matching.

[0378] In one embodiment, receiving the first response sent by the second communication device may be receiving the first response sent by the AIoT device.

[0379] In one embodiment, the information used to identify the AIoT device may include: an identifier for the AIoT device. This identifier can be used to uniquely identify an AIoT device.

[0380] Optionally, the matching information does not include at least one of the following: terminal identifier, first identifier, and second identifier.

[0381] In one implementation, the matching information may not include at least one of the following: the terminal identifier may be: UE ID (e.g., UE Paging Identity, International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) (e.g., 5G IMSI), S-Temporary Mobile Subscription Identifier (S-TMSI) (e.g., 5G-S-TMSI), or Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI)). The UE Paging Identity includes S-TMSI (e.g., 5G-S-TMS), a first identifier, and a second identifier.

[0382] In one implementation, the matching information is used to filter or match one or more AIoT devices, but the matching information does not include a first identifier and / or a second identifier. It is easy to understand that the first identifier or the second identifier can also be used to filter or match one or more AIoT devices. However, the matching information includes other information used to filter or match one or more AIoT devices, such as, but not limited to, at least one of the following: strings, bit strings, text, images, sounds, etc. As long as an AIoT device can match the matching information, it is considered a target AIoT device.

[0383] - One matching or filtering method is that the AIoT device stores matching information. For example, if the matching information is "AAA" and the AIoT device also stores "AAA", then the match is successful.

[0384] - Another matching or filtering method is that the AIoT device stores information corresponding to the matching information (which may be different from the matching information, but correspond to it). For example, if the matching information is "AAA" and the AIoT device stores "BBB", since there is a correspondence between AAA and BBB, it is also considered a successful match.

[0385] For example, if you need to screen 10,000 AIoT devices for inventory, you might need to send the identifiers of 10,000 AIoT devices. If these 10,000 AIoT devices share a single identifier (an identifier used to identify multiple AIoT devices (hereinafter referred to as the group identifier)), then sending a single group identifier is sufficient. It's easy to understand that a group identifier, used to identify multiple AIoT devices, is more suitable for screening a large number of AIoT devices than an identifier used to identify a single AIoT device. Similarly, if these 10,000 AIoT devices have common matching information, then sending a single matching message is sufficient. It's easy to understand that a matching message is more suitable for screening a large number of AIoT devices than an identifier used to identify a single AIoT device. Generally, identifiers often require defined fields and formats. However, matching messages are more flexible and have a more customizable format.

[0386] Here is an example:

[0387] However, if out of these 10,000 AIoT devices, 5,000 are identified by apples, 2,000 by pears, and 3,000 by oranges, then the matching information can be more flexible than the identifiers. For example, an AIoT device identified by a pear would store the identifier "pear." 1) To inventory only the AIoT devices identified by pears, the matching information could be set to "pear." 2) To inventory AIoT devices identified by apples and oranges, the matching information could be set to "pear" or "orange." 3) To inventory AIoT devices identified by pears and apples, the matching information could be set to "pear" or "apple." Using identifiers might be more complex; for example, a pear-identified AIoT device would need to store the identifier for "pear," the identifier for "pear and orange," and the identifier for "pear and apple." Alternatively, an AIoT device could store the identifier for either pear or orange, and the first communication device could send the identifiers for "pear" and "orange" to filter between oranges and pears.

[0388] Optionally, at least one of the first information and the second information further includes: location information, which is used to indicate one of the following: the location in the storage of the AIoT device, the location of the matching information or the information corresponding to the matching information in the AIoT device.

[0389] The storage refers to a function or device used to store information (such as data or files), such as memory or storage device.

[0390] In one implementation, the location in the storage of an AIoT device can refer to a storage area within the function or device of the AIoT device used for storing information.

[0391] In one embodiment, if the first information includes matching information, the first information further includes location information.

[0392] In one embodiment, if the second information includes matching information, the second information further includes location information.

[0393] In one implementation, the matching information can also be described as a matching rule.

[0394] In one implementation, the first information may include matching information. An AIoT device can determine whether it is a device matched with the matching information by searching its storage area (such as a memory area or a storage region) for the existence of the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information. For example, if an AIoT device finds the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information in its storage area (such as a memory area or a storage region), it determines that it is a device matched with the matching information; otherwise, it determines that it is not a device matched with the matching information.

[0395] In one implementation, the first information may include matching information and location information. An AIoT device can determine whether it is a device matched with the matching information by searching for the existence of the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information at the location indicated by the location information (such as memory or storage). For example, if the AIoT device finds the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information at the location indicated by the location information, it determines that it is a device matched with the matching information; otherwise, it determines that it is not a device matched with the matching information.

[0396] Optionally, the matching information includes at least one of the following: bit string, string, text, image, video, audio, tactile signal, file content, file type, file identifier;

[0399] In one implementation, the length of the storage area can be used to indicate the length of the storage area starting from the position specified by the pointer. For example, if the matching information is stored in the 3rd bit starting from the position specified by the pointer, then the length of the storage area can be 3 bits.

[0400] Storage areas, such as memory areas and storage regions.

[0401] In one implementation, the bit string is used to match AIoT devices. The value of the bit string can be customized. This embodiment does not limit the rules for defining the bit string; as long as the AIoT device can confirm a match or non-match (e.g., the content in memory corresponds to the bit string), it is considered to conform to the defined rules of the bit string. Other matching information follows the same principle and will not be described in detail.

[0402] In one embodiment, the bit string may be a bit string located at a specified position by a start pointer in a specified storage area.

[0403] In one implementation, the file content, file type, or file identifier can be used to indicate a file stored in an AIoT device.

[0404] In one implementation, the first message is used to discover or filter one or more AIoT devices.

[0452] or,

[0453] The location information includes at least one of the following: storage area; start pointer of storage area; end pointer of storage area; length of storage area;

[0454] in,

[0455] In one implementation, the length of the storage area can be used to indicate the length of the storage area starting from the position specified by the pointer. For example, if the matching information is stored in the 3rd bit starting from the position specified by the pointer, then the length of the storage area can be 3 bits.

[0456] In one embodiment, the second communication device includes one of the following: an AIoT device, a terminal supporting AIoT device functions, and a terminal.

[0457] In one implementation, the second information may include matching information. The operation of matching the second information can be performed, for example, by an AIoT device searching its storage area for the existence of the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information, to determine whether it is an AIoT device matching the matching information. For instance, if the AIoT device finds the matching information in its storage area, it determines that it is an AIoT device matching the matching information; otherwise, it determines that it is not an AIoT device matching the matching information.

[0458] In one implementation, the second information may include matching information and location information. The operation of matching the second information is as follows: the AIoT device can determine whether it is an AIoT device matching the matching information by searching for the existence of the matching information or information corresponding to the matching information at the location indicated in the storage. For example, if the AIoT device finds the matching information at the location indicated in the storage, it determines that it is an AIoT device matching the matching information; otherwise, it determines that it is not an AIoT device matching the matching information.

[0459] In one embodiment, receiving the second information can be one of the following: receiving second information sent by a first interface, receiving broadcast second information, or receiving second information sent by a first communication device. The first interface is the interface between the reader / writer and the AIoT device.

[0461] Information used to identify the AIoT device

[0462] This is used to indicate a successful match or to indicate a failed match.

[0463] In one implementation, upon successful matching, a first response is sent to a first communication device. The first response includes information indicating a successful match and, or information identifying the AIoT device.

[0464] In one implementation, if a match fails, a first response is not sent to the first communication device.

[0465] In another implementation, if a match fails, a first response is sent to a first communication device; the first response includes information indicating that a match has failed.

[0466] Optionally, the step of performing or not performing the relevant operations of the AIoT service based on whether the matching with the second information is successful or unsuccessful includes:

[0467] If the information matches the second piece of information, perform the relevant operations of the AIoT service;

[0468] If the matching with the second information fails, the relevant operations of the AIoT service will not be performed.

[0469] Optionally, the operations related to performing AIoT services include at least one of the following:

[0470] The second communication device is woken up, or enters a wake-up state;

[0475] The second communication device is activated;

[0476] It can respond to or acknowledge the reader's signaling (such as instructions or commands);

[0485] Signaling is also known as one of the following: message, instruction, command.

[0486] In one implementation, when a match with the second information is successful, the second communication device sends information to the first communication device to identify the AIoT device.

[0487] In another implementation, if the matching with the second information fails, the second communication device does not send information to the first communication device to identify the AIoT device.

[0488] It is easy to understand that at the beginning, the reader does not know the number of AIoT devices that match the second information, nor does it know which AIoT devices match the second information. Through the response of the AIoT devices, it can know the AIoT devices that match the second information, and then it can further operate on the AIoT devices that match the second information (such as operating on one or a group of AIoT devices).

[0489] In one embodiment, the second communication device can perform operations based on subsequent signaling of the same or more tasks, the same or more sessions, or the same or more processes, which can be tasks, sessions, or processes that conform to a second identifier.

[0501] Control operations (such as activating an AIoT device, deactivating an AIoT device (also known as killing or deactivating an AIoT device));

[0502] Location (also called object finding) operation.

[0503] It is easy to understand that if the first message directly carries information indicating AIoT operation, the second communication device can directly perform AIoT operation.

[0504] Optionally, the operation of not performing AIoT services includes at least one of the following:

[0505] Maintain the existing state unchanged;

[0506] The first response is either not sent to the first communication device, or a first response is sent to the first communication device, and the first response includes at least one of the following: information for identifying the AIoT device, information for indicating successful matching, or information for indicating failed matching;

[0507] Ignore one of the following: signaling of the first communication device; signaling corresponding to the task, session, or process associated with the second identifier.

[0508] Ignoring the signaling of the first communication device includes ignoring the next or subsequent signaling of the first communication device.

[0509] Ignoring the signaling corresponding to the task, session, or process corresponding to the second identifier includes ignoring the next step or subsequent signaling corresponding to the task, session, or process corresponding to the second identifier.

[0510] Signaling is also known as one of the following: message, instruction, command.

[0511] In one implementation, the second communication device may ignore subsequent signaling of the same or more tasks, sessions, or processes, which may be tasks, sessions, or processes that conform to a second identifier.

[0512] For example, the second communication device ignores signaling from the same process, session, or process by determining that the signaling is from the same process, session, or process by carrying the same second identifier in the second information in subsequent signaling.

[0513] Optionally, receiving the second information includes: receiving a second message;

[0514] The second message includes at least one of the following:

[0515] Second paging message; message different from the second paging message; message from the first interface;

[0516] The first interface is the interface between the reader / writer and the AIoT device.

[0517] In one implementation, the second information is used for one of the following: discovering, filtering, or matching one or more AIoT devices; or requesting the execution of an AIoT task.

[0518] In one implementation, the second paging message can be an air interface paging message (such as a Paging message for the Uu interface).

[0519] In one embodiment, the second message may include: a second paging message, other messages different from the second paging message; and a message from a first interface; wherein the first interface is an interface between a reader or interrogator and an AIoT device.

[0521] Through the embodiments of this application, based on the second information, a second operation is performed, using matching information or a first identifier to match one or more AIoT devices, thereby enabling operation on one or more AIoT devices. Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, if the match is successful, the relevant operations of the AIoT service are performed; if the match fails, the relevant operations of the AIoT service are not performed.
