Abstract
Description
Resource usage method, communication equipment and storage medium Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a resource utilization method, communication equipment, and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Traditional IoT devices are typically powered by conventional batteries with limited lifespans. If the batteries run out, the device becomes unusable, requiring battery replacement or even replacement. Maintaining IoT network operations and replacing batteries can be challenging in extreme environments.

This IoT device can be battery-free or have limited energy storage capacity (for example, using capacitors), and can be powered by harvesting radio waves, light, motion, heat, energy provided by wireless signals transmitted by other devices, or any other suitable power source.

Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, LTE and NR).
[0225] In some cases, IoT devices are often powered by traditional batteries with limited lifespans, negatively impacting the user experience. The expected astronomical growth in the number of IoT devices, coupled with the massive scale of these devices, has pushed maintenance expenses, including labor and battery costs, to a whole new level. Billions of traditional batteries are discarded each year, with only a small fraction effectively recycled, negatively impacting the Earth's ecosystem. Maintaining IoT network operations and replacing batteries can be extremely challenging in extreme environmental conditions. Battery-free IoT communications have been proposed to improve network performance and sustainability, expanding their application scenarios. Furthermore, battery-free communications are more environmentally friendly and safer for children and the elderly. Eliminating traditional batteries significantly reduces device size and cost, paving the way for a variety of new applications.
[0226] In some implementations, various Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies, such as Machine Type Communication (MTC), Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT), and Reduced Capability (RedCap), have been developed to meet the growing demands of various vertical sectors. These LPWA technologies offer low cost, low power consumption, and large-scale connectivity, meeting the requirements of many applications. However, many use cases and applications remain unaddressed. First, battery-powered devices are not suitable, such as in extreme environmental conditions (e.g., high voltage, extremely high / low temperatures, and humid environments). Second, maintenance-free devices are required (e.g., devices without traditional batteries requiring replacement). Finally, ultra-low complexity, very small device size / form factor (e.g., mm thickness), and extended lifecycles are required. Ambient-powered IoT devices are promising technologies that can address these unmet needs. Ambient-powered IoT devices are IoT devices powered by energy harvesting, either without batteries or with limited energy storage capabilities (e.g., using capacitors). Energy is collected from radio waves, light, motion, heat, or any other suitable power source.
[0227] Energy obtained from the environment can drive data transmission and wireless communication of sensing nodes. The current mainstream low-power IoT communication chips (such as BLE, LoRa, NB-IoT) have a transmit and receive power consumption of tens or even hundreds of milliwatts, while the energy obtained by environmental energy harvesting is only at the microwatt level, which is unable to drive these types of nodes to work. Therefore, a new wireless communication technology is needed to reduce communication energy consumption to tens of microwatts or even less than ten microwatts. The current mainstream method uses backscatter communication technology. Backscatter Communications is one of the key technologies for building a green, energy-saving, low-cost, and flexibly deployable future Internet of Things, and is an important means to achieve "Intelligent Connection of Everything". The methods that can be used include backscatter transmission (Backscatter Communications) technology.
[0228] As shown in Figure 1B, backscatter transmission can utilize the principle of RF signal backscattering to design extremely low-power modulation and transmission technologies. A reader sends a physical layer signal to an ambient IoT device. This physical layer signal can be a pulse signal or other AC signal. In some embodiments, this physical layer signal is used to provide energy for the ambient IoT device to transmit the signal. Therefore, this physical layer signal can be referred to as an excitation signal or trigger signal. For example, since a portion of the excitation signal is reflected when it reaches the ambient IoT device, the ambient IoT device can adjust the matching between the receiving antenna and the impedance according to the intended information to enhance the reflection of the incident excitation signal and modulate the acquired sensor data onto the reflected signal to complete the data transmission. This process is similar to a reflector. Compared to other communication technologies, backscatter transmission does not require complex RF structures, reducing the use of components such as power amplifiers, high-precision crystal oscillators, duplexers, and high-precision filters. It also does not require complex baseband processing. Therefore, it can simplify the design of ambient IoT devices and significantly reduce the cost of ambient IoT device nodes. Ambient IoT devices are IoT devices that use environmental energy to operate. This environmental energy can include the aforementioned wireless signal energy, as well as other environmental capabilities such as geothermal energy and / or light energy.
[0229] Here, the device that sends a physical layer signal to the ambient IoT device and triggers the ambient IoT device to return a reflected signal can be called an anchor point of the ambient IoT device reader.
[0230] It is worth noting that an ambient IoT device is a device that uses the backscatter transmission mechanism for wireless communication. In specific implementations, other devices can also use the backscatter transmission mechanism for wireless communication.
[0231] The anchor point or reader of the ambient IoT device may be a network node of a wireless communication network, such as an access network device, a relay node (or intermediate node), or a terminal.
[0232] Backscatter transmission network architectures can include but are not limited to the following:
[0233] Architecture 1: As shown in Figure 1C, uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) data transmission is performed directly between ambient IoT devices and access network devices.
[0234] Architecture 2: As shown in Figure 1D, DL and UL data transmission occurs indirectly between ambient IoT devices and access network equipment. Intermediary nodes (also called auxiliary nodes) are present to forward data. These nodes can be relays, integrated access backhaul (IAB), user equipment (UE), or repeaters (RP).
[0235] Architecture 3: As shown in Figure 1E, data is directly transmitted between the ambient IoT device and the access network device on the uplink (UL), and an auxiliary node exists on the downlink (DL) to assist the base station and the ambient IoT device in downlink transmission. As shown in Figure 1F, data is directly transmitted between the ambient IoT device and the access network device on the DL, and an auxiliary node exists on the UL to assist the base station and the ambient IoT device in uplink transmission. Exemplarily, the auxiliary node can be a relay, an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node, a first terminal, and a network controlled repeater (NCR).
[0236] Architecture 4: As shown in Figure 1G, ambient IoT devices and UEs directly receive and transmit data on the downlink and uplink. The UE collects data and forwards it to the network.
[0237] Ambient IoT devices are all capable of performing reflection and scattering. In some embodiments, ambient IoT devices can be classified based on whether they can amplify signals. In some embodiments, ambient IoT devices can be classified based on whether they can generate their own signals, rather than relying solely on reflection and scattering signals.
[0238] As shown in Figure 1H, ambient IoT devices that use the backscatter transmission mechanism for wireless communication can include, but are not limited to, the following three types:
[0239] Type A: No energy storage, cannot generate or amplify signals independently, and can only perform backscatter transmission.
[0240] Type B: Has energy storage, cannot generate signals independently, and can only perform backscatter transmission. The use of stored energy can include amplification of the backscatter signal.
[0241] Type C: It has energy storage and can generate signals independently, that is, it has active radio frequency (RF) components for transmission.
[0242] As shown in FIG2A , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a resource utilization method, which is performed by a communication system. For example, the communication system may include, but is not limited to, the communication system shown in FIG1C to FIG1G . Specifically, the communication system may include, but is not limited to, the communication system shown in FIG1C and / or FIG1D . The resource utilization method may include:

For example, when there is a first transmission requirement, the first configuration is configured based on the existing second configuration, and / or when there is a second transmission requirement, the second configuration is configured based on the existing first configuration.

[0382] In some embodiments, resource puncturing is combined with rate matching. For example, puncturing a PUSCH can be understood as removing the PUSCHs that fall into overlapping positions and performing a second transmission on the remaining PUSCHs. In this case, to ensure that the required information can still be sent to the receiving end after the resources are punctured, rate matching can be used to ensure that the required PUSCH information is transmitted on the punctured PUSCHs.

[0389] Exemplarily, the first terminal does not perform UL transmission on the ignored CG resources, and / or the network device does not perform UL reception on the ignored CG resources.
[0390] In some embodiments, the time unit may include a time slot.
[0391] For example, the first type of CG configuration may be configured with multiple CG resources, with one CG resource in one time slot. If part or all of the CG resource falls within the resource range of the first resource, the CG resource will be ignored.
[0392] For another example, the first type of CG configuration may be configured with multiple CG resources. One CG resource is in one time slot. If part of the CG resource falls within the resource range of the first resource, the part of the CG resource that falls within the resource range of the first resource is ignored, and the part of the CG resource that does not fall within the resource range of the first resource is still used for the second transmission.

Such a CGO is determined to be a valid CGO, and the first terminal can perform UL transmission in such a valid CGO, and / or the network device can perform DL reception in such a valid CGO.
[0395] In some embodiments, the CGO falling into the overlapping position is an invalid CGO. If such a CGO is determined to be a valid CGO, the first terminal no longer performs UL transmission in the invalid CGO, and / or the network device no longer performs DL reception on the invalid CGO.

[0400] It should be noted that the time unit includes a time slot and / or a symbol.
[0401] For example, if a CGO includes n time slots or m symbols and some time slots or some symbols of a CGO fall within the resource range of the first resource, the CGO can be ignored as a whole.
[0402] For another example, a CGO includes n time slots or m symbols and some time slots or some symbols of a CGO fall within the resource range of the first resource, then some time units falling within the resource range of the first resource are ignored and some time units not falling within the resource range of the first resource can continue to be used for the second transmission.

[0416] In some embodiments, the network device may be an access network device.
[0417] In some embodiments, optional implementations of the first configuration and / or the second configuration of the network device may refer to optional implementations of the corresponding embodiments of Figures 2A and / or 2B. For example, S3101 may include S2101 and / or S2201.
[0418] In some embodiments, the first configuration and / or the second configuration is determined based on whether the first transmission and the second transmission share the same frequency band.
[0419] In some embodiments, the first transmission includes continuous wave (CW) transmission and / or backscatter BS reception by the first device to the second terminal.

[0422] In some embodiments, the first configuration is at least used to configure a first resource. The first resource may be a time-frequency domain resource for the first transmission.
[0423] In some embodiments, the second configuration is used for the second transmission. Exemplarily, the second configuration is used for the first device to perform the second transmission.
[0424] In some embodiments, the second configuration is at least used to configure a second resource. The second resource may be a time-frequency domain resource of the first transmission.
[0425] If the first configuration and / or the second configuration is configured in an optional manner according to the embodiment corresponding to FIG2A , there will be no overlapping resources between the first resources used for the first transmission and the second resources used for the second transmission, that is, the first resources and the second resources do not conflict.
[0426] If the first configuration and / or the second configuration are configured according to the optional manner of the embodiment corresponding to FIG2B , the first resource used for the first transmission and the second resource used for the second transmission may or may not have overlapping resources. In other words, the first resource and the second resource may or may not have resource conflict.
[0427] S3102: Perform a first transmission according to the first configuration and / or perform a second transmission according to the second configuration.
[0428] Exemplarily, if the first configuration and / or the second configuration is configured according to any optional embodiment of S2101, the network device performs the first transmission on the first resource according to the first configuration, and performs the second transmission on the second resource according to the second configuration.
[0429] As another example, if the first configuration and / or the second configuration is configured according to any optional implementation scheme of S2201, the network device can determine whether the first resource and the second resource have overlapping resources based on the first configuration and the second configuration, and determine to execute the first transmission and / or the second transmission respectively based on whether there are overlapping resources between the first resource and the second resource.
[0430] For example, the first resource and the second resource are overlapping resources, and whether to perform the first transmission or the second transmission on the overlapping resources is determined according to the type of the second transmission.
[0431] In summary, if the first configuration and / or the second configuration is configured according to any optional implementation scheme of S2201, the network device performs the first transmission and / or the second transmission according to S2202 of the corresponding embodiment of Figure 2B, thereby realizing FDM and / or TDM of the first transmission and the second transmission on the first frequency band.
[0432] As shown in FIG4 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a resource utilization method, which is executed by a first terminal. The method may include:
[0433] S4101: Receive a first configuration and / or a second configuration.
[0434] In some embodiments, the first terminal receives the first configuration and / or the second configuration sent by the network device.
[0435] In some embodiments, the first terminal receives the first configuration and / or the second configuration sent by the network device.
[0436] In some embodiments, the first terminal receives an RRC message, MAC signaling and / or DCI sent by a network device, where the RRC message, MAC signaling and / or DCI includes the first configuration and / or the second configuration.
[0437] Exemplarily, the first configuration and / or the second configuration herein may be configured by the network device using the optional implementation of S2101 of the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2A .
[0438] As another example, the first configuration and / or the second configuration herein may be configured by the network device using the optional implementation manner of S2201 of the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2B .
[0439] S4102: Execute the first transmission and / or the second transmission.
[0440] In some embodiments, the first transmission and / or the second transmission is performed according to the first configuration and / or the second configuration.
[0441] If the first terminal acts as a card reader for the second terminal, the first terminal may perform the first transmission according to the first configuration and / or perform the second transmission according to the second configuration.
[0442] If the first terminal does not serve as a card reader for the second terminal, the first terminal may perform the second transmission according to the first configuration and the second configuration.
[0443] Exemplarily, if the first configuration and the second configuration are configured using the optional implementation scheme of S2101 of the embodiment corresponding to Figure 2A, and there is no resource conflict between the first resource and the second resource, the first terminal can perform the first transmission according to the first configuration and / or perform the second transmission according to the second configuration.
[0444] For example, if the first and second configurations are configured using the optional implementation of S2101 in the embodiment of FIG. 2B , and the first and second resources may or may not conflict with each other, the first terminal may determine, based on the first and second configurations, whether to perform the first transmission or the second transmission at the overlapping location. In this case, step S4102 can refer to S2202 in the embodiment of FIG. 2B and will not be repeated here.
[0445] In the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system, how to use the in-band spectrum resources in the existing NR communication system to build an ambient IoT network. At the same time, avoid the coexistence interference of ambient IoT communication and NR communication, and reasonably allocate the resources of ambient IoT communication and NR communication. For example, the ambient IoT resources of ambient IoT communication can be deployed on the in-band spectrum of the NR base station.
[0446] If ambient IoT resources are deployed on the NR spectrum of an NR base station, DL transmission and CW transmission are performed by one node, for example, both DL transmission and CW transmission are performed by the same base station. In other embodiments, DL transmission and CW transmission are performed by different nodes, for example, DL transmission is performed by the base station and CW transmission is performed by the terminal.
[0447] If DL transmission and CW transmission are performed by the same node, then CW transmission can be considered as part of DL transmission. In this case, CW transmission can be considered as one of the excitation signal corresponding to CW transmission and DL transmission by default.
[0448] Exemplarily, DL transmission may also be understood as DL message, DL signal and / or DL information, etc.
[0449] Scenario 1: As shown in Figure 5A, ambient IoT resources for CW transmission and backscatter BS reception are both deployed on the DL spectrum of the NR spectrum.
[0450] Ambient IoT resources and NR resources can be time-division multiplexed and / or frequency-division multiplexed. Ambient IoT resources herein can be used for any transmission related to ambient IoT devices. For example, the ambient IoT resources can be used for CW transmission and / or BS reception. NR resources are used for transmission on the Uu port. Exemplarily, the ambient IoT resource is a type of the aforementioned first resource. The NR resource is a type of the aforementioned second resource.
[0451] First, the NR base station allocates ambient IoT resources, as shown in Figure 5E:
[0452] Time Division Multiplexing: Configure a period, duration, and / or time domain offset; optionally, for example, the time domain offset is set to 0. This duration can be used to determine a time window. Ambient IoT resources are configured within this time window. If time division multiplexing is used as shown in Figure 5E(A), the ambient IoT resources and NR resources are configured within different time ranges of the DL spectrum and / or UL spectrum.
[0453] Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): A spectrum range with a similar BWP is configured, which can be used for transmission of ambient IoT devices. If FDM is used, as shown in Figure 5E(B), the ambient IoT resources and NR resources are configured in different sub-bands of the DL spectrum and / or UL spectrum.
[0454] Simultaneous time division multiplexing and frequency division multiplexing: Configure a spectrum range similar to the BWP, and configure a period, duration, and / or time domain offset. If frequency division multiplexing is used as shown in Figure 5E(C), ambient IoT resources and NR resources are configured in different sub-bands of the DL spectrum and / or UL spectrum.
[0455] By giving the Uu port's SSB transmission a higher priority than ambient IOT-related transmissions, it is possible to ensure that the SSB transmission is not affected by ambient IOT transmissions.
[0456] The NR base station will provide this configuration to the user equipment (UE) that has an RRC connection with the NR cell. The SPS and / or PDCCH occasion in the ambient IOT resources are invalid. For example, the UE will skip the SPS resources. The SPS resources here are the resources configured by the SPS. The UE here is also the first terminal mentioned above.
[0457] For the case where ambient IOT resources and NR resources are time-division multiplexed, or ambient IOT resources and NR resources are time-division multiplexed and frequency-division multiplexed at the same time, if the NR transmission is a common signal, for example, when numbering the PDCCH occasions of paging and / or system broadcast information, the Paging Control Channel (PCCH) that falls within or partially falls within the resource range of the ambient IOT resources should be removed. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG5F , when the PDCCH occasions are numbered, if the corresponding PDCCH occasion falls within the resource range of the ambient IOT resources, the corresponding PDCCH occasion is not numbered, which is equivalent to ignoring the PDCCH occasion.
[0458] For the case of frequency division multiplexing of ambient IOT resources and NR resources, the NR base station ensures that common signals, such as SSB (including PSS, SSS, MIB and / or DMRS, etc.), paging, PCCH and / or PDSCH of system broadcast information do not fall within the ambient IOT resource bandwidth.
[0459] For the three situations of time division multiplexing of ambient IOT resources and NR resources, frequency division multiplexing of ambient IOT resources and NR resources, and simultaneous time division multiplexing and frequency division multiplexing of ambient IOT resources and NR resources, for the CSI-RS that falls into the ambient IOT resource part, the UE does not perform measurement on the CSI-RS of this part, and the other parts can be measured normally. For example, as shown in Figure 5G, there is another way to configure CSI-RS, one is to configure it as CSI-RS 1, and the other is to configure CSI-RS as CSI-RS 2 and CSI-RS 3, that is, CSI-RS 2 and CSI-RS 3 together constitute a CSI-RS. The purpose of both methods is to skip ambient IOT resources. If the CSI-RS is configured as CSI-RS1, it is equivalent to that the first resource and the second resource can have a conflicting position when the network device is configured, but when the first device subsequently determines that the first resource and the second resource have overlapping resources, it can give priority to CW transmission and / or BS reception as needed. If the CSI-RS is configured as CSI-RS 2 and CSI-RS 3, it is equivalent to making the first resource and the second resource non-conflicting when the network device is configured, but at the same time the configuration information will indicate that the CSI-RS 2 and CSI-RS 3 of the ambient IoT resource terminal will be used jointly.
[0460] For operations related to ambient IoT devices deployed in a cell, the UE's DL reception behavior within ambient IoT resources may include at least one of the following:
[0461] Do not monitor PDCCH;
[0462] Do not receive PDSCH;
[0463] Perform neighboring cell RRM measurements. For example, for the case where ambient IoT resources and NR resources are time-division multiplexed, neighboring cell RRM measurements can be performed.
[0464] Scenario 2: As shown in Figure 5B, the ambient IoT resources for CW transmission and backscatter BS reception are deployed in the UL spectrum of the NR spectrum.
[0465] Ambient IoT resources and NR resources can be time-division multiplexed and / or frequency-division multiplexed.
[0466] First, the NR base station allocates ambient IoT resources, as shown in Figure 5E:
[0467] Time Division Multiplexing: Configure a period, duration, and / or time domain offset; optionally, for example, the time domain offset is set to 0. This duration can be used to determine a time window. Ambient IoT resources are configured within this time window. If time division multiplexing is used as shown in Figure 5E(A), the ambient IoT resources and NR resources are configured within different time ranges of the DL spectrum and / or UL spectrum.
[0468] Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): A spectrum range with a similar BWP is configured, which can be used for transmission of ambient IoT devices. If FDM is used, as shown in Figure 5E(B), the ambient IoT resources and NR resources are configured in different sub-bands of the DL spectrum and / or UL spectrum.
[0469] Simultaneous time division multiplexing and frequency division multiplexing: Configure a spectrum range similar to the BWP, and configure a period, duration, and / or time domain offset. If frequency division multiplexing is used as shown in Figure 5E(C), ambient IoT resources and NR resources are configured in different sub-bands of the DL spectrum and / or UL spectrum.
[0470] The NR network cell will allocate time and frequency resources used for ambient IoT resources to the UE with a small NR. The UE's UL behavior is as follows:
[0471] If a CG resource falls completely or partially on an ambient IoT resource, the CG resource is ignored. Here, the CG resource is the resource indicated by the CG configuration.
[0472] If the CG resource of the CG repetition occupies n time units (the time unit can be a time slot or a symbol) and the CG resource of the CG repetition falls completely or partially on an ambient IOT resource, the CG resource is ignored.
[0473] If the CG resource of the CG repetition occupies n time units (the time unit can be a time slot or a symbol) and the CG resource of the CG repetition is invalid, the part of the CG resource that falls within the resource range of the ambient IOT resource is still valid, and the CG resource that does not fall within the ambient IOT resource can continue to be used to send uplink data. For example, a CG resource occupies n time slots, where one of the n time slots falls within the resource range of the ambient IOT resource. One way is that the CG resource is invalid, and the other way is that the time slot of the CG resource that falls within the resource range of the ambient IOT resource is invalid.
[0474] If TB processing over multiple slots (TBoMS) occupies n time units (which can be time slots or symbols), similarly, in one embodiment, if any portion of a TBoMS resource falls within the resource range of an ambient IOT resource, the entire TBoMS resource is invalidated. In another embodiment: if part of a TBoMS resource's time units fall within the resource range of an ambient IOT resource, the time units of the TBoMS resource that fall within the resource range of the ambient IOT resource are invalidated, and the time units of the TBoMS resource that do not fall within the resource range of the ambient IOT resource remain valid.
[0475] One or more CG resources configured in the XR business. When more than one CG resource is included in a cycle, for example, a CG resource falls into or partially falls into the ambient IOT resource in a cycle, then the CG resource is invalid, and other CG resources in the cycle continue to be valid, for example, refer to the 3 CGOs in a cycle shown in Figure 5H. If the last CGO of these 3 CGOs falls within the resource range of the ambient IOT resource, then all 3 CGOs may be invalid in the entire cycle, but in order to achieve an effective improvement in resource utilization, it can also be considered that the last CGO that falls within the range of the ambient IOT resource in this cycle is invalid.
[0476] For the case where ambient IoT resources and NR resources are FDM, for SRS resource configuration, if the time unit (such as time slot or symbol) of SRS overlaps with the ambient IoT resource, SRS is muted in the time unit, that is, the transmission of SRS configuration is not sent.
[0477] If ambient IoT resources and NR resources are FDM, or if they are FDM or TDM, and the SRS frequency domain location overlaps with the ambient IoT resources, the SRS will skip the ambient IoT resources during resource mapping, or the SRS configuration will not be transmitted for the ambient IoT frequency domain resources. This approach does not change the SRS resource mapping method or process; instead, the SRS is not transmitted for the frequency domain resources covered by the ambient IoT.
[0478] For the PUCCH resource location, if the time unit (time slot and / or symbol) of the PUCCH overlaps with the ambient IOT resource, the PUCCH is muted in the time unit, that is, no PUCCH information is sent.
[0479] For PUSCH, the network ensures that allocated PUSCH resources do not overlap with ambient IOT resources. Alternatively, if PUSCH resources partially overlap with ambient IOT resources, PUSCH information is not transmitted in the overlapping portion, and PUSCH transmission is performed through puncturing. In short, PUSCH transmission is not performed in the overlapping portion. If puncturing is used, modulation and coding efficiency can be improved through rate matching of the information on the punctured resources, and all PUSCH information can be sent to the network on the unpunctured resources.
[0480] For operations related to ambient IoT devices deployed in a cell, the UE's UL behavior within ambient IoT resources may include at least one of the following:
[0481] Do not send PUSCH information or suspend sending PUSCH information;
[0482] PUSCH information is transmitted based on puncturing and / or rate matching.
[0483] Scenario 3: As shown in Figure 5C and / or Figure 5D, the ambient IoT resources for CW transmission and BS reception are deployed on spectrum in different transmission directions of the NR spectrum, for example, CW transmission is deployed on the UL spectrum and BS reception is deployed on the DL spectrum, or CW transmission is deployed on the DL spectrum and BS reception is deployed on the UL spectrum.
[0484] At this time, regarding CW sending, BS receiving and various transmissions on the Uu interface, reference may be made to any embodiment of Scenario 1 and / or Scenario 2.
[0485] In RFID systems, how can we use the in-band spectrum resources of existing NR communication systems to build ambient IoT networks, avoid coexistence interference between ambient IoT and NR communications, and rationally allocate resources for ambient IoT and NR communications?
[0486] Ambient IoT resources and NR resources can be time-division multiplexed, frequency-division multiplexed, or ambient IoT resources and NR resources can be frequency-division multiplexed and time-division multiplexed at the same time.
[0487] Ambient IoT resources and NR resources are deployed on NR in-band. At this time, the UE in the NR cell is constrained by the convenience of data transmission and reception, such as enhancements to CG, SPS, CSI-RS and / or SRS to support the deployment of ambient IoT in NR inband.
