[0100] In some embodiments, different Ambient IoT devices have different types and operating modes, and their power acquisition and storage capabilities also vary. Currently, the types of Ambient IoT devices are as follows:

[0102] Device B: has energy storage but no independent signal generation; for example, it uses backscattering. Utilization of stored energy may include amplification of the reflected signal.

[0104] Of the three Ambient IoT devices mentioned above, device C has the strongest capabilities and the highest terminal cost; device A has the weakest capabilities and the lowest terminal cost. Furthermore, since devices A and B can only operate in backscatter mode and cannot actively transmit signals, their terminal coverage is smaller. However, the power consumption of devices A and B in this operating mode is much lower than that of device C.

[0105] For device A, the energy it uses to monitor downlink signals and transmit uplink signals is provided by external signals. When a network device sends a downlink signal to device A, the power of the received downlink signal must meet a certain power threshold to activate device A (referred to as the "activation power threshold"), providing sufficient energy for device A to detect the downlink signal.

[0106] In some embodiments, backscattering communication utilizes the principle of backscattering of radio frequency signals to design an extremely low-power modulation and transmission technology. Backscattering communication is when a radio frequency signal is received by a device, and the internal circuit of the device modulates the information to be transmitted based on the incident electromagnetic wave through load impedance modulation and other methods, and then sends out the modulated electromagnetic wave carrying the information. There are many ways to modulate information, such as amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK), or phase shift keying (PSK).

[0107] In some embodiments, for devices using backscatter, the general process is as follows: the network device sends a downlink command to the device, and upon receiving the downlink command, the device sends a corresponding response to the network device or performs the corresponding operation. However, while the device is transmitting data, it needs a node transmitting continuous waves to provide electromagnetic waves for reflection.

[0108] In some embodiments, a network topology architecture for wireless communication based on ambient energy devices is implemented based on backscatter technology. For example, the network topology construction may include one of the following:

[0109] Topology 1: See Figure 1B. Downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) data are directly received and transmitted between the ambient IoT device and the base station.

[0110] Topology 2: As shown in Figure 1C , the ambient IoT and the base station indirectly receive and transmit DL and UL data. Intermediary nodes, such as relays, integrated access backhaul (IAB), user equipment (UE), and / or repeaters, are used for forwarding.

[0111] Topology 3: Referring to Figure 1D, the ambient IoT and the base station directly transmit or receive data in the DL or UL. Auxiliary nodes are located on the UL or DL, responsible for receiving or sending UL or DL ​​data. Examples of auxiliary nodes include relays, IABs, UEs, and / or repeaters.

[0112] Topology 4: See Figure 1E . Downlink and uplink data are directly received and transmitted between the ambient IoT and the UE. The UE collects data and forwards it to the network.

[0113] For topology 2, the UE acts as an intermediate node. It needs to charge low-power devices or send downlink signals for backscattering from low-power devices, while also collecting uplink data from low-power devices. For topology 3, the UE acts as an auxiliary node. It needs to charge low-power devices or send downlink signals for backscattering from low-power devices to the base station, while also collecting uplink data from low-power devices and sending it to the base station. For the UE, issues such as power loss caused by charging low-power devices need to be considered.

[0114] In some embodiments, the PHR reporting mechanism is usually calculated based on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and / or PUCCH sent by the terminal to the base station, that is, the terminal performs calculations for uplink data transmission to the base station. Obviously, the original PHR mechanism is no longer applicable to the scenario where the terminal assists the access of low-power devices, because in addition to sending its own uplink data, the terminal also needs to consume power for operations such as charging low-power devices. However, the existing PHR reporting mechanism has not yet taken this function into account. Here, the terminal can be the UE in the above embodiment.
