[0026] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure and are not to be construed as limiting the present disclosure. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.

[0027] To facilitate understanding, the terms involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure are first introduced.

[0028] 1. A-IoT technology

[0029] A-IoT is a new IoT technology. Compared to traditional IoT technologies, a notable feature is the large number of A-IoT terminals in the network, enabling large-scale inventory and monitoring of items. A-IoT devices can be categorized into three types: Type A, Type B, and Type C. Type A devices do not support energy storage and operate based on backscatter, offering the lowest complexity and consuming very little power. Although Type A devices do not support energy storage, they still need to receive wireless signals to activate their internal receive processing modules. Type B devices support energy storage and operate based on backscatter. Their complexity and power consumption are higher than Type A devices, but still relatively low. Type B devices can store energy, but their storage capacity is generally limited. Type C devices support energy storage and operate based on active transmission, meaning they amplify and transmit information using a power amplifier.

[0030] 2. Priority mechanism for New Radio (NR) scheduling

[0031] In NR, a priority mechanism is introduced to take into account different business needs and the timeliness urgency of different services. A maximum of 16 priorities can be set at the upper layer, but only high and low priorities are set at the physical layer. There are two types of confirmation of the physical layer priority of NR transmission. One is the default priority. Generally, the unconfigured NR transmission, such as the group (CG) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), has a low priority by default; the other is through signaling configuration, for example, through an indicator bit in the downlink control information (DCI), and different bits indicate the corresponding priority. Depending on the priority, NR has derived various solutions for handling collisions.

[0032] 3. Uplink cancellation indication (UL CI) and downlink preemption indication (DL PI) for NR scheduling

[0033] In NR, taking into account the scheduling requirements of services of different priorities, UL CI is defined for uplink services and DL PI is defined for downlink services. The DCI carries the corresponding information, instructing the terminal to cancel the lower-priority services currently being sent or about to be sent. The base station broadcasts the DCI carrying the UL CI or DL ​​PI. Terminals with low-priority services monitor the downlink control information (DCI) and take corresponding actions based on the instructions.

Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0118] In some examples, the A-IOT network device 11 sends first information to the A-IOT terminal 12, the A-IOT terminal 12 receives the first information sent by the A-IOT network device 11, and the A-IOT terminal 12 obtains service-related priority information based on the first information; and determines the service-related priority of the A-IOT terminal based on the priority information.

[0119] This embodiment can determine the business-related priority of the A-IOT terminal based on the business-related priority information, and then clarify the business-related priority of the A-IOT terminal, such as the priority of different business behaviors, or the priority of different scheduling instructions sent by the A-IOT network device, etc., to ensure the transmission of high-priority services.

[0120] Furthermore, to illustrate the specific implementation process of the above communication system, FIG2 shows a schematic diagram of a communication method based on the environmental Internet of Things according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to the above communication system, as shown in FIG2, and may include the following steps:

[0121] Step S201: The A-IOT network device sends first information to the A-IOT terminal.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first information may be a communication information, such as an indication information or a signaling, etc. For example, the first information may be sent via radio resource control (RRC) signaling and / or media access control layer (MAC) control element (CE) and / or downlink control information (DCI).

[0123] Step S202: The A-IOT terminal obtains service-related priority information based on the first information.

[0124] In some embodiments, the service-related priority information includes at least one of the following:

[0125] A1, first priority information, the first priority information can be used to determine the priorities of different scheduling instructions;

[0126] B1. Second priority information: The second priority information may be used to determine the priorities of different business behaviors.

[0127] In some embodiments, the scheduling instruction may include at least one of the following:

[0128] A2, scheduling signaling, scheduling signaling is used by A-IOT network devices to schedule communication transmission of A-IOT terminals;

[0129] B2. Write instruction: The write instruction is used by the A-IOT network device to write data to the A-IOT terminal;

[0130] C2, read instruction, the read instruction is used by the A-IOT network device to read the data of the A-IOT terminal;

[0131] D2, deactivation command, the deactivation command is used by the A-IOT network device to deactivate the A-IOT terminal;

[0132] E2, inventory command, the inventory command is used by the A-IOT network device to inventory the A-IOT terminal;

[0133] F2, activation command, the activation command is used by the A-IOT network device to activate the A-IOT terminal;

[0134] G2, capability query instruction, the capability query instruction is used by the A-IOT network device to initiate a capability query to the A-IOT terminal;

[0135] H2. Trigger measurement instruction: The trigger measurement instruction is used by the A-IOT network device to trigger measurement to the A-IOT terminal.

[0136] In some embodiments, the service behavior may include service transmission, specifically including service uplink transmission and / or service downlink transmission, etc.

[0137] A-IoT network devices are likely to trigger the scheduling of multiple A-IoT terminal devices at a time. Considering that different A-IoT terminal devices have different scheduling requirements, there is the possibility of service priority grading. Assume that in an inventory scenario, the A-IoT network device pre-sets the periodic reporting of inventory information for the A-IoT terminal devices in the network. At this time, the user uses the scheduling requirements of the application layer to trigger priority scheduling for certain A-IoT terminal devices in the network, such as emergency reporting of abnormal material status. From the network side, the network requires these A-IoT terminal devices to be able to backscatter or actively report as quickly as possible, and not be affected by other uplink services of the A-IoT terminal device. In order to reflect the priority between different services / scheduling of the same A-IoT terminal, this embodiment can determine the service-related priority of the A-IOT terminal based on the service-related priority information, and then clarify the priority between different services / scheduling of the same A-IoT terminal, thereby ensuring the transmission of high-priority services.

[0138] In addition to the method of obtaining the first information and then obtaining the priority information as shown in steps S201 and S202, as another embodiment, the process may also include: obtaining the first information that the A-IOT terminal is pre-configured at the factory stage; and / or, obtaining the first information that the A-IOT terminal is pre-configured at the registration stage; and / or, obtaining the first information that the A-IOT terminal is pre-configured at the registration stage, etc.

[0139] For example, in a network, A-IoT network devices communicate with A-IoT terminal devices. A-IoT network devices include base stations, terminals, intermediate nodes, auxiliary nodes, etc., and the types of A-IoT terminal devices include Type A, Type B, and Type C. The A-IoT network device sends an excitation signal to at least one A-IoT terminal device. The excitation signal can be used to trigger communication with the A-IoT terminal device and transmit control signaling, data, etc. Optionally, the excitation signal can also be used as a charging energy source for the A-IoT terminal device. The A-IoT terminal devices are divided into at least one group. In a single scheduling, the A-IoT network device schedules at least one scheduling group, and optionally, schedules one scheduling group at a time. The A-IoT network device and the A-IoT terminal devices exchange information. The A-IoT network device sends scheduling instructions of different priorities to the same A-IoT terminal device, or sends scheduling instructions of different priorities to different A-IoT terminal devices. The A-IoT terminal device responds after receiving the scheduling instructions. The scheduling instructions received by the A-IoT terminal device are prioritized. The priority determination method includes at least one of the following examples:

[0140] In some examples, the protocol predefines a priority or priority list of scheduling instructions. The scheduling instructions include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0141] Uplink scheduling signaling, downlink scheduling signaling, write command, read command, deactivate command, inventory command, activate command, kill command, capability query command, trigger measurement command.

[0142] The priority or priority list includes at least two levels, including but not limited to at least one of highest priority, lowest priority, high priority, second highest priority, low priority, second lowest priority or other priorities.

[0143] In some examples, the A-IoT network device configures the priority or priority list of the scheduling instruction to the A-IoT terminal device. The optional configuration signaling of the A-IoT network device includes at least one of static signaling, semi-static signaling, and dynamic signaling. The scheduling instruction includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0144] Uplink scheduling signaling, downlink scheduling signaling, bold, read command, deactivate command, inventory command, activate command, kill command, capability query command, trigger measurement command.

[0145] The priority or priority list includes at least two levels, including but not limited to at least one of highest priority, lowest priority, high priority, second highest priority, low priority, second lowest priority or other priorities.

[0146] In some examples, when an A-IoT terminal device leaves the factory / is registered / registered, it is pre-configured with a priority or priority list of scheduling instructions. The scheduling instructions include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0147] Uplink scheduling signaling, downlink scheduling signaling, write command, read command, deactivate command, inventory command, activate command, kill command, capability query command, trigger measurement command.

[0148] The priority or priority list includes at least two levels, including but not limited to at least one of highest priority, lowest priority, high priority, second highest priority, low priority, second lowest priority or other priorities.

[0149] For another example, an A-IoT network device and an A-IoT terminal device exchange information. The A-IoT network device sends a scheduling instruction to the A-IoT terminal device, and the A-IoT terminal device responds after receiving the scheduling instruction. The transmission corresponding to the scheduling instruction has a determined priority, and the priority determination method includes at least one of the following examples:

[0150] In some examples, the protocol predefines a priority or priority list for transmission services / device behaviors. The priority or priority list includes at least two levels, including but not limited to at least one of the highest priority, the lowest priority, the high priority, the second highest priority, the low priority, the second lowest priority, or other priorities.

[0151] In some examples, an A-IoT network device configures a priority or priority list for transmitting services / device behaviors to an A-IoT terminal device. Optional configuration signaling for the A-IoT network device includes at least one of static signaling, semi-static signaling, and dynamic signaling. The priority or priority list includes at least two levels, including but not limited to at least one of highest priority, lowest priority, high priority, second highest priority, low priority, second lowest priority, or other priority levels.

[0152] In some examples, when an A-IoT terminal device leaves the factory / is registered / registered, it is pre-configured with a priority or priority list for transmission services / device behaviors. This priority or priority list includes at least two levels, including but not limited to at least one of the following: highest priority, lowest priority, high priority, second highest priority, low priority, second lowest priority, or other priority levels.

[0153] Step S203: The A-IOT terminal determines its service-related priority according to the service-related priority information.

[0154] In some embodiments, the A-IOT terminal determines the priorities of different scheduling instructions based on the first priority information, or the A-IOT terminal determines the priorities of different service behaviors based on the second priority information.

[0155] In some embodiments, when the first priority of the first scheduling instruction is higher than the second priority of the second scheduling instruction, the A-IOT terminal terminates the corresponding service behavior of the second scheduling instruction.

[0156] In some examples, the priority of the scheduling signaling may be carried by the scheduling signaling itself.

[0157] In some examples, the priority of the scheduling signaling is not carried by the scheduling signaling itself, but may be carried in other signaling, etc.

[0158] Given the simple structure of A-IoT terminals, it's difficult for the same A-IoT terminal to perform multiple business activities simultaneously. When different services have different priorities, there's a need for higher-priority services to preempt resources from lower-priority services. For example, when an A-IoT terminal is performing a measurement and receives an inventory instruction from an A-IoT network device, it needs to report the inventory information. If the inventory instruction has a higher priority, the measurement activity may need to be terminated to prioritize resources for reporting the inventory information. Furthermore, for services of different priorities between different A-IoT terminal devices, there's also a need for higher-priority services to preempt resources from lower-priority services.

[0159] For example, an A-IoT network device exchanges information with an A-IoT terminal device. The A-IoT network device sends scheduling instructions of different priorities to the same A-IoT terminal device. In this case, the protocol predefines that high-priority instructions can interrupt low-priority instructions. That is, when the A-IoT terminal device receives a high-priority instruction, it terminates the corresponding action of the previous low-priority instruction and begins executing the corresponding action of the high-priority instruction.

[0160] Another example is the information exchange between A-IoT network devices and A-IoT terminal devices. A-IoT network devices send scheduling instructions of different priorities to different A-IoT terminal devices. In this case, the protocol predefines that high-priority instructions can interrupt low-priority instructions. That is, when an A-IoT terminal device receives a high-priority instruction, it will terminate the corresponding behavior of the previous low-priority instruction and begin executing the corresponding behavior of the high-priority instruction.

[0161] In some embodiments, based on the first priority of the first scheduling instruction, it is determined that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal; further, when the service transmission that the A-IOT terminal is about to or is currently executing overlaps with the service transmission of the first scheduling instruction in time domain and / or frequency domain resources, the A-IOT terminal interrupts the service transmission that is about to or is currently executing.

[0162] In some embodiments, determining, based on the first priority of the first scheduling instruction, that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal includes one of the following:

[0163] A3. The scheduling instruction of the first priority is valid for all A-IOT terminals, and it is determined that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal.

[0164] B3. The scheduling instruction of the first priority is valid for all A-IOT terminals of the third priority, and the A-IOT terminal is an A-IOT terminal of the third priority, determining that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal;

[0165] C3. The scheduling instruction of the first priority is valid for all A-IOT terminals that execute the instruction, and the A-IOT terminal is the A-IOT terminal that executes the instruction, and it is determined that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal.

[0166] D3. The first-priority scheduling instruction is valid for all A-IOT terminals that execute the fourth-priority scheduling instruction, and the A-IOT terminal is an A-IOT terminal that executes the fourth-priority scheduling instruction, and the first scheduling instruction is determined to be valid for the A-IOT terminal. Optionally, the fourth priority is not higher than the first priority.

[0167] In some embodiments, if the first priority of the first scheduling instruction is higher than the second priority of the second scheduling instruction, or based on the first priority of the first scheduling instruction, it is determined that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal, the A-IOT terminal may execute the corresponding business behavior of the first scheduling instruction.

[0168] For example, the protocol pre-defined high-priority instructions are valid for all A-IoT terminal devices.

[0169] Alternatively, the protocol pre-defined high-priority instructions are valid for all low-priority A-IoT terminal devices, where the low-priority A-IoT terminal device refers to an A-IoT terminal device configured as a low priority.

[0170] Alternatively, the protocol predefines low-priority instructions that are only valid for low-priority A-IoT terminal devices.

[0171] Alternatively, the protocol pre-defined high-priority instructions are valid for all A-IoT terminal devices that execute the instructions.

[0172] Alternatively, the protocol pre-defined high-priority instructions are valid for all A-IoT terminal devices that execute low-priority instructions. A low-priority A-IoT terminal device refers to an A-IoT terminal device that has received a low-priority instruction and is about to execute or is currently executing the instruction task. There are no restrictions on the device's own priority.

[0173] Alternatively, the protocol predefines low-priority instructions that are only valid for A-IoT terminal devices that execute low-priority instructions.

[0174] Alternatively, the protocol pre-defined priority A instruction is valid for all A-IoT terminal devices not higher than priority A, where priority A includes but is not limited to at least one of the highest priority, lowest priority, high priority, second highest priority, low priority, second lowest priority or other priorities.

[0175] Alternatively, the protocol pre-defines priority B instructions that are valid for all A-IoT terminal devices that execute instructions not higher than priority B, where priority B includes but is not limited to at least one of the highest priority, lowest priority, high priority, second highest priority, low priority, second lowest priority or other priorities.

[0176] Furthermore, if the A-IoT terminal device receives a valid instruction (including the valid instructions in the above-mentioned cases), and the business transmission that the A-IoT terminal device is about to or is executing overlaps with the business transmission of the valid instruction, the A-IoT terminal device cancels / interrupts the business transmission that is about to or is executing.

[0177] In some embodiments, the A-IOT terminal device receives a first instruction sent by the A-IOT network device, which carries a first indication field; the A-IOT terminal device determines whether to interrupt the transmission resources of the A-IOT terminal to execute the second instruction based on the first indication field.

[0178] In some embodiments, the first indication field may be an indication field for interruption, preemption, or seizure, and an instruction carrying this field may be able to interrupt, preempt, or seizure any instruction.

[0179] For example, an A-IoT network device and an A-IoT terminal device exchange information. The A-IoT network device sends a first instruction to the A-IoT terminal device, and the A-IoT terminal device responds after receiving the first instruction. The method for determining the first instruction includes at least one of the following examples:

[0180] In some examples, the protocol predefines an interruption field that can be used to indicate whether to interrupt the transmission resources of the A-IoT terminal device, including but not limited to uplink transmission resources, downlink transmission resources, sensor resources, and energy resources. The interruption field is included in the first instruction.

[0181] In one implementation, the interrupt field contains one bit, where 0 represents no interruption and 1 represents interruption. When the A-IoT network device sends a first instruction and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction, and one bit of the interrupt field is 1, the A-IoT terminal device interrupts all previous actions and begins executing the first instruction, or waits to execute the next instruction.

[0182] In one implementation, the interruption field includes multiple bits, each bit corresponding to a service transmission or behavior of an A-IoT terminal device, with a bit value of 0 representing no interruption and a bit value of 1 representing interruption. The A-IoT network device sends a first instruction, and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction. If multiple bits in the interruption field are 1, the transmission of the A-IoT terminal device corresponding to the multiple bits is interrupted.

[0183] In one implementation, the interrupt field includes at least one bit that indicates the interrupted transmission resource, with a bit value of 0 representing no interruption and 1 representing interruption. When the A-IoT network device sends a first instruction and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction, if multiple bits in the interrupt field are 1, the transmission resources corresponding to the multiple bits are interrupted, and the A-IoT terminal device interrupts transmission on the corresponding transmission resources.

[0184] In some examples, the A-IoT network device configures an interruption field for the A-IoT terminal device. The interruption field indicates whether to interrupt the A-IoT terminal device's transmission resources, including but not limited to uplink transmission resources, downlink transmission resources, sensor resources, and energy resources. The interruption field is included in the first instruction. Optional configuration signaling for the A-IoT network device includes at least one of static signaling, semi-static signaling, and dynamic signaling.

[0185] In one implementation, the interrupt field contains one bit, where 0 represents no interruption and 1 represents interruption. When the A-IoT network device sends a first instruction and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction, and one bit of the interrupt field is 1, the A-IoT terminal device interrupts all previous actions and begins executing the first instruction, or waits to execute the next instruction.

[0186] In one implementation, the interruption field includes multiple bits, each bit corresponding to a service transmission or behavior of an A-IoT terminal device, with a bit value of 0 representing no interruption and a bit value of 1 representing interruption. The A-IoT network device sends a first instruction, and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction. If multiple bits in the interruption field are 1, the transmission of the A-IoT terminal device corresponding to the multiple bits is interrupted.

[0187] In one implementation, the interrupt field includes at least one bit that indicates the interrupted transmission resource, with a bit value of 0 representing no interruption and 1 representing interruption. When the A-IoT network device sends a first instruction and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction, if multiple bits in the interrupt field are 1, the transmission resources corresponding to the multiple bits are interrupted, and the A-IoT terminal device interrupts transmission on the corresponding transmission resources.

[0188] In some examples, an A-IoT terminal device is pre-configured with an interruption field when it leaves the factory / is registered / registered. This interruption field is used to indicate whether to interrupt the A-IoT terminal device's transmission resources, including but not limited to uplink transmission resources, downlink transmission resources, sensor resources, and energy resources. This interruption field is included in the first instruction.

[0189] In one implementation, the interrupt field contains one bit, where 0 represents no interruption and 1 represents interruption. When the A-IoT network device sends a first instruction and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction, and one bit of the interrupt field is 1, the A-IoT terminal device interrupts all previous actions and begins executing the first instruction, or waits to execute the next instruction.

[0190] In one implementation, the interruption field includes multiple bits, each bit corresponding to a service transmission or behavior of an A-IoT terminal device, with a bit value of 0 representing no interruption and a bit value of 1 representing interruption. The A-IoT network device sends a first instruction, and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction. If multiple bits in the interruption field are 1, the transmission of the A-IoT terminal device corresponding to the multiple bits is interrupted.

[0191] In one implementation, the interrupt field includes at least one bit that indicates the interrupted transmission resource, with a bit value of 0 representing no interruption and 1 representing interruption. When the A-IoT network device sends a first instruction and the A-IoT terminal device receives the first instruction, if multiple bits in the interrupt field are 1, the transmission resources corresponding to the multiple bits are interrupted, and the A-IoT terminal device interrupts transmission on the corresponding transmission resources.

[0192] This embodiment can determine the business-related priority of the A-IOT terminal based on the business-related priority information, and then clarify the business-related priority of the A-IOT terminal, such as the priority of different business behaviors, or the priority of different scheduling instructions sent by the A-IOT network device, etc., to ensure the transmission of high-priority services.

[0193] To illustrate the specific execution process of the A-IOT terminal, Figure 3 shows a flow chart of a communication method based on the ambient Internet of Things according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0211] The priority information pre-configured during the registration phase of the A-IOT terminal is obtained.

[0212] Step S302: The A-IOT terminal determines its service-related priority based on the priority information.

[0213] In some embodiments, the first priority of the first scheduling instruction is higher than the second priority of the second scheduling instruction, and the A-IOT terminal terminates the corresponding business behavior of the second scheduling instruction.

[0214] In some embodiments, based on the first priority of the first scheduling instruction, it is determined that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal; when the service transmission that is about to be or is being executed by the A-IOT terminal overlaps with the service transmission of the first scheduling instruction in time domain and / or frequency domain resources, the A-IOT terminal interrupts the service transmission that is about to be or is being executed.

[0215] In some embodiments, determining, based on the first priority of the first scheduling instruction, that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal includes one of the following:

[0216] The scheduling instruction of the first priority is valid for all A-IOT terminals, and determining that the first scheduling instruction is valid for the A-IOT terminal;
