[0105] Device C: has energy storage and independent signal generation; for example, an active radio frequency (RF) module that actively sends signals.

[0106] 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.

[0107] 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.

[0108] 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).

[0109] 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.

[0110] 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:

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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, and collect 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, and collect uplink data from low-power devices and send it to the base station.

[0116] For a terminal (such as the UE in the above embodiment), when it needs to work as a reader or a reader / writer, it needs to obtain relevant configurations from the base station, such as how to configure the working channel, how to set the initial transmission power of the CW and / or how to set the random access parameters, etc. Optionally, the terminal can be a UE.

[0117] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the present disclosure embodiment relates to an information processing method for an information processing system 100, and the method includes:

[0118] Step S2101: The access network device sends first information to the first device.

[0131] Optionally, the access network device instructs the first device on a first configuration when the second device accesses.

[0132] Optionally, the first configuration is for a single channel, or for all channels, or for some channels. That is, the first configuration of each channel can be the same or different. For example, if there are two channels between a first device and a second device, the two channels are a first channel and a second channel; the first configurations of the first channel and the second channel can be partially the same or the same, or they can be completely different.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first configuration includes at least one of the following: activating or deactivating at least one channel; configuring or deconfiguring at least one channel; providing configuration information for at least one channel; providing condition information for at least one channel; providing time information for at least one channel; and providing criteria information for at least one channel.

Exemplarily, the first timing information is used to indicate the timing relationship between signals sent and received by the first device; the second timing information is used to indicate the timing relationship between signals sent and received by the second device. Exemplarily, the first timing information is used to indicate the timing relationship between messages sent from the first device to the second device and messages received from the second device; the second timing information is used to indicate the timing relationship between messages sent from the second device to the first device and messages received from the second device.

[0139] Optionally, the admission information includes an admission control parameter and / or a random access parameter. The admission control parameter is used to indicate whether the channel allows a second device of a predetermined type to access. The random access parameter is used to indicate whether the channel initiates random access.

[0140] Exemplarily, the predetermined type of second device may be a Type A, Type B, and / or Type C device. A Type A device is a device without energy storage and without signal generation or amplification; a Type B device is a device with energy storage and without independent signal generation; and a Type C device is a device with energy storage and independent signal generation. A Type A device may be the first type device or Device A in the previous embodiment; a Type B device may be the second type device or Device B in the previous embodiment; and a Type C device may be the third type device or Device C in the previous embodiment.

[0141] Currently, in other embodiments, the predetermined type may also be other types of devices, which is not limited here.

[0142] Exemplarily, when the access control parameter takes different values, it is used to indicate whether second devices of different predetermined types are allowed to access the channel. For example, when the access control parameter takes a first value, it is used to indicate that devices of type A are allowed to access the channel; when the access control parameter takes a second value, it is used to indicate that devices of type A are not allowed to access the channel; when the access control parameter takes a third value, it is used to indicate that devices of type B are allowed to access the channel; when the access control parameter takes a fourth value, it is used to indicate that devices of type B are not allowed to access the channel; when the access control parameter takes a fifth value, it is used to indicate that devices of type C are allowed to access the channel; and / or when the access control parameter takes a sixth value, it is used to indicate that devices of type C are not allowed to access the channel; and so on.

For example, the access control parameter includes a first field, a second field, and / or a third field; when the first field takes a first value, it is used to indicate that type A devices are allowed to access the channel, or, when the first field takes a second value, it is used to indicate that type A devices are not allowed to access the channel; when the second field takes a first value, it is used to indicate that type B devices are allowed to access the channel, or, when the second field takes a second value, it is used to indicate that type B devices are not allowed to access the channel; when the third field takes a first value, it is used to indicate that type C devices are allowed to access the channel, or, when the third field takes a second value, it is used to indicate that type C devices are not allowed to access the channel.

[0145] Exemplarily, when the random access parameter is a first value, it is used to indicate that the channel initiates random access; or, when the random access parameter is a second value, it is used to indicate that the channel does not initiate random access.

[0146] Optionally, the power control parameter is used to determine the transmit power of the channel. Exemplarily, the transmit power is an initial transmit power.

[0147] Exemplarily, the power control parameter is used to indicate the initial transmit power of the channel. In this way, the first device can directly know the initial transmit power of the signal sent by the first device to the second device.

[0148] Exemplarily, the power control parameter is used to indicate a power amplification gain corresponding to a second device of a predetermined type.

[0167] In some embodiments, the criterion information is used to indicate that the operating frequency of the channel in the first area is a first frequency range, and / or the operating frequency of the channel in the second area is a second frequency range.

[0168] Optionally, the first frequency range and the second frequency range may be any frequency ranges, as long as the first frequency range and the second frequency range are different. Here, the first frequency range and the second frequency range may partially overlap or may not overlap.

[0169] Alternatively, the channels may be represented based on frequency range or channel identifier.

[0170] Optionally, the criterion information may be frequency information.

[0171] For example, the criteria information indicates that the operating frequency of a channel established by a first device in a first area is within a first frequency range, and indicates that the operating frequency of a channel established by a first device in a second area is within a second frequency range. This allows services to be provided through different first device channels in different frequency ranges, thereby reducing the probability of services being concentrated on a single first device and achieving load balancing.

[0172] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned configuration information, condition information, time information, and criterion information may each be one or more bits, or may each be one or more fields.
