For an introduction to the intermediate node, user equipment, access network device, core network device, and Ambient IOT server, please refer to the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0249] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0250] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 . The number and form of the entities are arbitrary, and the entities may be physical or virtual. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0251] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0252] In some embodiments, ambient IoT devices can be divided into two types: type 1 and type 2.

[0253] Type 1 Ambient IoT devices lack energy storage, independent signal generation, and amplification, relying on backscatter for uplink transmission. Type 2 Ambient IoT devices, on the other hand, have energy storage and independent signal amplification, and their uplink transmission can be generated internally or through backscatter.

[0254] It should be noted that the main difference between type 1 and type 2 Ambient IoT devices is that type 1 Ambient IoT devices need to rely on excitation signals for backscattering to achieve data transmission, while type 2 Ambient IoT devices can rely on excitation signals for backscattering to achieve data transmission, or rely on the energy inside the device to transmit data.

[0255] Optionally, whether it is a type 1 Ambient IOT device or a type 2 Ambient IOT device, there may be multiple network access methods.

[0256] Refer to Figure 2A, which is a schematic diagram of a network architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Taking the access network device as a base station as an example, as shown in Figure 2A, data (including uplink data and downlink data) can be directly sent and received between the Ambient IOT device and the base station.

[0257] Refer to Figure 2B, which is another network architecture diagram shown according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Taking the access network device as a base station as an example, as shown in Figure 2B, data (including uplink data and downlink data) can be indirectly sent and received between the Ambient IOT device and the base station, and the intermediate node can play the function of data forwarding between the Ambient IOT device and the base station.

[0258] It should be noted that the above are only two exemplary access methods and do not constitute a limitation on the access methods of Ambient IOT devices.

[0259] In some embodiments, backscattering can be widely used in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems.

[0260] In some embodiments, in backscatter technology, a receiver (such as a reader) can send a radio frequency signal to a passive node (such as a tag). When the radio frequency signal reaches the passive node, a portion of the signal will be reflected. The passive node can adjust the matching between the receiving antenna and the impedance according to the information to be sent to enhance the reflection of the incident radio frequency signal, and first modulate the information to be sent onto the reflected signal to complete the transmission of the information.

[0261] It should be noted that backscattering can transmit signals without complex RF structures, which can reduce the use of devices such as power amplifiers, high-precision crystal oscillators, duplexers, and high-precision filters. It also does not require complex baseband processing processes, which can simplify the design of terminal equipment and reduce equipment costs.

[0262] In some embodiments, in an RFID system, before changing the tag-to-interrogator (T=>R) communication link rate, the reader needs to transmit an excitation signal for at least 8 round trip time calibration (Rtcal) processes.

[0263] In some embodiments, for delayed reply commands and in-process reply commands, the excitation signal transmission should be guaranteed within a period of time so that the Reader can receive the Tag's reply, or so that the Reader can determine that the Tag has not executed the command or the command execution has failed.

[0264] In some embodiments, the excitation signal transmission should be guaranteed when the Tag is in the answer, confirmation, open or safe state.

[0265] In some embodiments, before turning off the power, the Reader should end the dialogue with the Tag and put the Tag in a ready or arbitration state to ensure the integrity of the subsequent process and prevent the subsequent process from being interrupted due to the cessation of the excitation signal.

[0266] In some embodiments, in the case of a long encryption operation, the Reader should suspend the dialogue with the Tag and put the Tag in a ready or arbitration state to ensure the integrity of the subsequent process and prevent the subsequent process from being interrupted due to the cessation of the excitation signal.

[0267] It should be noted that a device being in arbitration state generally means that a conflict or problem occurs during communication between the devices. When a device is in arbitration state, it may mean that the device is waiting for other devices to release resources, or is trying to resolve communication conflicts to ensure smooth data transmission.

[0268] For the Ambient IOT system, similar to the RFID system, the transmission of the excitation signal in the Ambient IOT system also needs to be determined according to the specific situation of the system to ensure the integrity of the command execution process.

[0309] It should be noted that step S3106 is described by taking the second communication device sending the first information to the first communication device as an example. In more possible implementations, step S3105 may also be implemented as follows:

[0310] The second communication device sends request information to the first communication device, where the request information is determined by the second communication device based on the first information.

[0311] In some embodiments, the first communication device receives request information sent by the second communication device.

[0312] In some embodiments, the request information is used to request the first communication device to start sending the first signal, or the request information is used to request the first communication device to stop sending the first signal, so that the first communication device can directly control the sending of the first signal according to the instruction of the request information.

[0313] Step S3106: The first communication device sends a first signal to the first Ambient IoT device based on the first information.

[0314] In some embodiments, when a link parameter indicated by the first indication information changes, the first communication device sends a first signal to the first Ambient IoT device.

[0315] Optionally, the first indication information may directly indicate whether the link parameter has changed, and the first communications device may directly determine whether the link parameter has changed according to the first indication information.

[0316] Optionally, the first indication information may indicate a parameter value of a link parameter, and the first communications device may compare the parameter value indicated by the first indication information with past parameter values ​​of the link parameter to determine whether the link parameter has changed.

[0317] Optionally, the parameter value of the past link parameter may be sent by the first communication device or the second communication device to the first Ambient IoT device, but is not limited thereto.

[0318] In some embodiments, the device state indicated by the second indication information is a first state, and the first communication device sends a first signal to the first Ambient IOT device.

[0319] Optionally, the first state may be one or more pre-set device states. For example, the first state may be an enabled state, but is not limited thereto.

[0320] Taking the first state as an enabled state as an example, the first communication device may send a first signal to the first Ambient IoT device when the first Ambient IoT device is in the enabled state.

[0321] In some embodiments, the command type indicated by the third indication information is a first type, and the first communication device sends a first signal to the first Ambient IoT device.

[0322] Optionally, the first type may be one or several pre-set command types. For example, the first type may be a non-immediate response command type, but is not limited thereto.

[0323] Taking the first type being a non-immediate response command type as an example, the first communication device may send a first signal to the first Ambient IoT device when the first command is a non-immediate response command type.

[0324] In some embodiments, the method for sending the first signal can be determined based on the first information, or in other words, the relevant parameters used when sending the first signal can be determined based on the first information. For the sake of convenience of description, the following takes the method for sending the first signal as an example. It can be understood that the method for sending the first signal can also be understood as the relevant parameters used when sending the first signal.

[0325] In some embodiments, the sending manner of the first signal includes at least whether to continuously send the first signal, but is not limited thereto.

[0326] In some embodiments, the sending method of the first signal includes whether to continuously send the first signal, and the sending method of the first signal may further include the sending duration of the first signal.

[0327] Optionally, the sending duration of the first signal is agreed upon in a protocol; or, the first information also includes fourth indication information, and the fourth indication information can be used to indicate the sending duration of the first signal.

[0328] In some embodiments, the transmission duration of the first signal is device-specific. For example, the transmission duration of the first signal may be the duration during which the first communication device transmits the first signal to one or more Ambient IoT devices, including the first Ambient IoT device.

[0329] In some embodiments, a first communication device sends a first signal to multiple Ambient IOT devices, and the sending duration of the first signal can be determined based on the union of the first time and the second time; or, the sending duration of the first signal is determined based on the maximum value of the first time and the second time.

[0330] The first time is the time when the first communication device sends the first signal to the first Ambient IOT device, and the second time is the time when the first communication device sends the first signal to other Ambient IOT devices.

[0331] For example, the time when the first communication device sends the first signal to the first Ambient IOT device is t1 to t2 (t2>t1), and the time when the first communication device sends the first signal to another Ambient IOT device is t1 to t3 (t3>t1 and t3>t2), then the sending duration of the first signal can be the union of these two times, that is, t1 to t3.

[0332] For another example, the duration for the first communication device to send the first signal to the first Ambient IOT device is T1, and the time for the first communication device to send the first signal to another Ambient IOT device is T2. T1>T2, then the sending duration of the first signal can be the maximum value of the larger values ​​of the two durations, that is, T1.

[0333] In some embodiments, the transmission duration of the first signal is specific to a command (per command). For example, the transmission duration of the first signal is the duration during which the first communication device provides a signal for one or more commands, including the first command.

[0334] For example, the first information may include relevant indication information to indicate which command or commands are currently being executed in the Ambient IOT system through the relevant indication information, so that the first communication device can determine which command or commands need to provide the first signal based on the indication information included in the first information.

[0335] In some embodiments, the first communication device provides a first signal for multiple commands, and the sending duration of the first signal is determined based on the union of the third time and the fourth time; or, the sending duration of the first signal is determined based on the maximum value of the third time and the fourth time.

[0336] The third time is the time when the first communication device provides the first signal for the first command currently executed by the first Ambient IOT device, and the fourth time is the time when the first communication device provides the first signal for the command currently executed by other Ambient IOT devices.

[0337] For example, the time when the first communication device provides the first signal for the first command is t4 to t5 (t5>t4), and the time when the first communication device provides the first signal for another command is t5 to t6 (t6>t5), then the sending duration of the first signal can be the union of these two times, that is, t4 to t6.

[0338] For another example, the duration for the first communication device to provide the first signal for the first command is T3, and the duration for the first communication device to provide the first signal for another command is T4. T3>T4, then the sending duration of the first signal can be the maximum value of the larger values ​​of the two durations, that is, T4.

[0339] In some embodiments, terms such as "time", "moment", "time point", and "time position" can be replaced with each other, and terms such as "duration", "period", "time window", "window", and "time" can be replaced with each other.

[0340] In some embodiments, the second communication device sends not the first information but request information to the first communication device. If the request information is used to request the first communication device to start sending the first signal, the first communication device can send the first signal to the first Ambient IOT device based on the request information.

[0341] It should be noted that, if the request information is used to request the first communication device to stop sending the first signal, the first communication device can determine that it is not necessary to send the first signal to the first Ambient IOT device based on the request information.

[0342] Step S3107: The first Ambient IoT device executes the first command based on the first signal.

[0343] In some embodiments, the first Ambient IoT device may send data or signaling based on the first signal to execute the first command.

[0344] The signaling may be control signaling or control data, but is not limited thereto.

[0345] Step S3108: The second communication device sends third capability information to the first communication device.

[0346] In some embodiments, the first communication device receives third capability information sent by the second communication device.

[0347] In some embodiments, the third capability information is used to indicate that the second communication device is capable of controlling the execution of the first command.

[0348] In some embodiments, the name of the third capability information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "third capability indication" or the like.

[0349] Step S3109: The first communication device sends second information to the second communication device.

[0350] In some embodiments, the second communication device receives the second information sent by the first communication device.

[0351] In some embodiments, the second information is used to instruct the first communication device to stop sending relevant information of the first signal.

[0352] In some embodiments, the name of the second information is not limited, and it can be, for example, "stop sending information", "stop indication information", "stimulation signal stop indication", etc.

[0353] In some embodiments, the second information includes fifth indication information and / or sixth indication information.

[0354] In some embodiments, the fifth indication information is used to instruct the first signal to stop sending.

[0355] In some embodiments, the sixth indication information is used to indicate the time when the first signal stops being sent. Optionally, the time when the first signal stops being sent can be a moment, or the time when the first signal stops being sent can be a time period, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0356] In some embodiments, the first communications device may stop transmitting the first signal based on an indication of the second information. For example, the first communications device may determine a time to stop transmitting the first signal based on the second information. Specifically, the first communications device may determine a time to stop transmitting the first signal based on sixth indication information included in the second information.

[0357] It should be noted that, when the first communication device stops sending the first signal, the first Ambient IOT device may correspondingly stop receiving the first signal.

[0358] In more possible implementations, the second communication device may also send second information to the first communication device, and the first communication device may receive the second information sent by the second communication device. The second information is used to instruct the first communication device to stop sending relevant information of the first signal. For a detailed introduction to the second information, please refer to the above content and will not be repeated here.

[0359] Step S3110: The second communication device controls the first Ambient IoT device to execute the first command based on the second information.

[0360] In some embodiments, the second information is also used by the second communication device to control the execution of the first command. For example, the second information is also used by the second communication device to control the first Ambient IOT device to complete the first command before the first signal stops sending, or the second information is also used by the second communication device to control the first Ambient IOT device to suspend the first command before the first signal stops sending.

[0361] In some embodiments, the second communication device may adjust link parameters of the first communication link based on the second information, and the adjusted link parameters are used by the first Ambient IoT device to accelerate execution of the first command.

[0362] Optionally, adjusting the link parameters of the first communication link may be increasing the link rate, adjusting the receiving time calibration parameters, increasing the transmission power, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0363] By adjusting the link parameters of the first communication link to increase the sending speed of the first command, the first Ambient IoT device can receive the first command as early as possible, thereby executing the first command as early as possible, thereby achieving the purpose of accelerating the execution of the first command.

[0364] In some embodiments, the second communication device may send fourth information to the first Ambient IoT device based on the second information, where the fourth information is used to instruct the first Ambient IoT device to accelerate the execution of the first command.

[0365] For example, the fourth information can be used to instruct the first Ambient IoT device to adjust concurrency, or the fourth information can be used to instruct the first Ambient IoT device to optimize algorithm parameters, etc., so that the first Ambient IoT device can achieve accelerated execution of the first command based on the fourth information.

[0366] In some embodiments, the first Ambient IOT device can receive the fourth information sent by the second communication device, and then continue to execute the first command after making corresponding adjustments according to the instructions of the fourth information. The adjustment methods include but are not limited to adjusting concurrency, optimizing algorithm parameters, etc., so as to achieve the purpose of accelerating the execution of the first command.

[0367] It should be noted that the purpose of accelerating the execution of the first command may be to complete the execution of the first command before the first signal stops being sent.

[0368] In some embodiments, the second communication device may send third information to the first Ambient IoT device based on the second information, where the third information is used for the first Ambient IoT device to suspend the first command.

[0369] In some embodiments, the first Ambient IoT device may receive third information sent by the second communication device, and thereby suspend the first command according to an instruction of the third information.

[0370] It should be noted that suspending the first command means pausing the execution of the first command.

[0371] In some embodiments, the first Ambient IOT device may save parameter information of the first command when suspending the first command; and / or, the first Ambient IOT device may save data information related to the first command when suspending the first command, for use when subsequently resuming execution of the first command.

[0372] In some embodiments, "obtain", "get", "get", "receive", "transmit", "bidirectional transmission", "send and / or receive" can be interchangeable, and can be interpreted as receiving from other entities, obtaining from protocols, obtaining from higher layers, obtaining by self-processing, autonomous implementation, etc.

[0373] In some embodiments, terms such as "send", "transmit", "report", "download", "transmit", "bidirectional transmission", "send and / or receive" can be used interchangeably.

[0374] In some embodiments, terms such as "certain", "preset", "preset", "setting", "indicated", "a certain", "any", and "first" can be interchangeable. "Specific A", "preset A", "preset A", "setting A", "indicated A", "a certain A", "any A", and "first A" can be interpreted as A pre-specified in a protocol, etc., or as A obtained through setting, configuration, or indication, etc., or as specific A, a certain A, any A, or first A, etc., but not limited to this.

[0375] In some embodiments, the determination or judgment can be performed by a value represented by 1 bit (0 or 1), or by a true or false value (Boolean value) represented by true or false, or by comparison of numerical values ​​(for example, comparison with a predetermined value), but is not limited thereto.

[0376] In some embodiments, "not expecting to receive" can be interpreted as not receiving on time domain resources and / or frequency domain resources, or as not performing subsequent processing on the data after receiving it; "not expecting to send" can be interpreted as not sending, or as sending but not expecting the recipient to respond to the content sent.

The adjustment methods include but are not limited to adjusting concurrency, optimizing algorithm parameters, etc., so as to achieve the purpose of accelerating the execution of the first command.

[0426] It should be noted that the purpose of accelerating the execution of the first command may be to complete the execution of the first command before the first signal stops being sent.

[0427] In some embodiments, the first communication device may send third information to the first Ambient IoT device based on the second information, where the third information is used for the first Ambient IoT device to suspend the first command.

[0428] In some embodiments, the first Ambient IoT device may receive the third information sent by the first communication device, and thereby suspend the first command according to an instruction of the third information.

[0437] According to the solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, in some embodiments, the CW node (ie, the first communication device) may determine whether to send an excitation signal (ie, the first signal) based on the first information.

[0438] In some implementations, the first information includes at least one of link parameter information, a device status of the Ambient IoT device, and a command type of the first command.

[0439] In some embodiments, the link parameter information may include reception time alignment parameters, link rate parameters, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0442] In some embodiments, the Ambient IoT device is in an enabled state, and the CW node may determine to continue sending an excitation signal. The sent excitation signal may be used for the Ambient IoT device to normally receive and respond to subsequent possible commands.

[0443] In some embodiments, the command type of the first command may include a non-immediate response command type, such as a delayed reply command or an in-process command.

[0445] Optionally, the duration of continuously sending the excitation signal may be per command and / or per device. If the excitation signal is sent to multiple Ambient IoT devices, the union of the corresponding times of the multiple Ambient IoT devices is taken.

[0446] The time for continuously sending the excitation signal may be predetermined by a protocol or indicated by the first information.

[0447] In some embodiments, if the CW node and the command node are the same node, the CW node can determine the first information by itself, and then directly determine the sending of the excitation signal according to the first information.

[0448] In some embodiments, if the CW node and the command node are not the same node, the first information may be sent by the command node to the CW node; or, the first information may be requested by the command node to start / stop sending the excitation signal of the CW node according to the first information.

[0449] The CW node and / or the command node are nodes that support excitation signal transmission control. Optionally, capability information (i.e., second capability information) can be exchanged between the CW node and the command node. For the CW node, the second capability information indicates whether the CW node supports excitation signal transmission control; for the command node, the second capability information indicates whether the command node supports excitation signal transmission control.

[0450] In some embodiments, the command node can complete / suspend the first command before the excitation signal stops sending according to the second information, thereby ensuring that the subsequent process is not interrupted due to the cessation of sending the excitation signal and ensuring the integrity of the subsequent process.

[0453] Among them, the second information may include an excitation signal stop indication (that is, the fifth indication information), but is not limited to this. The second information may also include time information (that is, the sixth indication information), and the time information is used to determine whether to stop sending the excitation signal at a certain moment or time period in the future.

[0454] The command node may control the completion / suspending of the first command in at least one of the following ways:

[0455] In some embodiments, the command node adjusts the link parameters to accelerate the execution of the first command to ensure that the execution of the first command is completed before the excitation signal stops being sent. Adjusting the link parameters can be increasing the link rate, adjusting the receiving time calibration parameters, increasing the transmission power, etc.

[0456] In some embodiments, the command node sends third information to the Ambient IoT device and suspends the first command, and the third information is used for the Ambient IoT device to suspend the first command.

[0457] Optionally, the Ambient IOT device may save parameter information (ie, command parameters) and / or related data information (ie, command data) of the suspended first command for subsequent resumption of the command flow of the first command.

[0458] The CW node and / or the command node are nodes that support command flow control. Optionally, the CW node and the command node can exchange capability information (i.e., third capability information). For a CW node, the third capability information indicates whether the CW node supports command flow control; for a command node, the third capability information indicates whether the command node supports command flow control.
