The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the technology described can be used for the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as for other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes, and the NR terminology is used in most of the following description, but these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as 6th generation (6G) systems. th Generation, 6G) communication system.

[0264] In order to facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following technical points are first introduced below.

[0265] In order to implement AIoT operations, the following issues need to be addressed:

[0266] Question 1: AIoT devices have no Radio Resource Control (RRC) state and do not perform mobility management. However, it is unclear whether and how the reader's Radio Access Network (RAN) is associated with the AIoT function. If the association is not established, it will not be possible to support the selection of RAN as the executor of AIoT operations. Currently, the mandatory information in the next generation (NG) interface association includes the tracking area list (TA List) in the NG Setup Request, the default paging discontinuous reception (Default Paging DRX), and the supported PLMN list (Support PLMN list) in the NG Setup Response. However, these are not applicable to AIoT scenarios. It is not applicable to RAN as a reader.

[0267] Solution: The AIoT function (generally located on the core network (CN) side) establishes an association between each per RAN and per AIoT function with the RAN network element.

[0268] The association may include the identifiers of the AIoT function and the RAN network element, which is similar to the NG access point (AP) in related technologies, but the content transmitted is different.

[0269] The RAN network element acting as a reader can establish a one-to-one association with multiple AIoT functions.

[0270] Establishing a one-to-one association may be referred to as establishing a first interface, where the first interface is an interface between the RAN network element and the AIoT function.

[0271] The association establishment request includes the identifier of the RAN or reader and the identifier of the AIoT function.

[0272] Question 2: The first interface and association mentioned in the solution to Question 1 require the exchange of necessary information. This necessary information can be used to determine the executor of the AIoT operation. Currently, how to select the executor of the AIoT operation is unclear. One implementation method is based on service area selection. However, the RAN service area should include the area of ​​the intermediate node. How to obtain the service area of ​​the intermediate node is unclear.

[0273] One solution: The intermediate node reports the supported service areas.

[0274] Another solution: The RAN obtains the service areas supported by the intermediate nodes, and reports the service areas supported by the RAN itself and the service areas supported by the intermediate nodes to the CN.

[0275] Question 3: The first interface and association mentioned in the solution to Question 1 need to exchange necessary information. The necessary information can be used to determine the executor of the AIoT operation. At present, it is not clear how to select the executor of the AIoT operation. One implementation method is based on service area selection. Due to the limitations of the AIoT device capabilities, the area supported by the first communication device for providing AIoT services may be different for different AIoT devices. For example: for an AIoT device whose uplink (UL) transmission mode is through actively generated signals, and for an AIoT device whose uplink transmission mode is backscattering, the area supported by the first communication device for providing AIoT services may be different.

[0276] A solution: The service area supported by the first communication device is exchanged in the message established by the first interface.

[0277] The service area can be further divided into the service area associated with AIoT devices using backscattering and / or the service area associated with AIoT devices using active signal generation. It is not difficult to understand that the backscattering method requires greater downlink energy to reflect the signal, while the active signal generation method requires less energy. Therefore, the service area associated with AIoT devices using backscattering is generally smaller than the service area associated with AIoT devices using active signal generation.

[0278] Subsequently, the service area for performing the first operation can be selected based on the capabilities and target area of ​​the AIoT device in the first operation.

[0279] Question 4: The first communication device (such as a reader) may belong to the network operator or a third party. If this information is missing, the first communication device may perform AIoT operations that do not belong to its own party.

[0280] One solution is to select the executor of the AIoT operation based on a list of allowed clients for the operation or a list of parties based on the reader / writer.

[0334] In one embodiment, the active signal generation refers to the AIoT device generating the signal itself.

[0335] Optionally, the first interface can be implemented in the following ways: Method 1, reuse the NG interface, for example, the base station supports both AIoT device (new uu interface) communication and UE (traditional uu interface) communication, and adds a new IE to the mandatory information of the NG interface; Method 2, reuse the NG interface, but for example, the base station only supports AIoT devices (new uu interface), at this time, a new instruction can be added to ignore the mandatory IE that already exists but is not applicable to AIoT devices, such as Default Paging DRX; Method 3, introduce a new interface, such as a second NG interface.

[0336] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the second interface is a wireless interface between the "first communication device, the sixth communication device, or the reader / writer" and the AIoT device.

[0337] In one embodiment of the present application, information used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices may be used to screen and / or identify one or more AIoT devices.

[0338] The information used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices may include at least one of the following: an identifier of the AIoT device, an identifier for identifying a group of AIoT devices (referred to as a group identifier), matching information, and information indicating characteristics of the AIoT device.

[0339] In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices includes an identifier of the AIoT device. In this case, the identifier of an AIoT device can specifically refer to one AIoT device. The identifiers of multiple AIoT devices can specifically refer to multiple AIoT devices. It is not difficult to understand that the identifier of an AIoT device can uniquely identify the AIoT device and is not shared by other AIoT devices.

[0340] In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices includes an identifier for identifying a group of AIoT devices (referred to as a group identifier). In this case, a group identifier can be used to specifically refer to a group of AIoT devices. It is not difficult to understand that the group identifier of an AIoT device can uniquely identify the AIoT device group and is not shared by other AIoT device groups.

[0341] 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices may not include the identification of the AIoT device. The information used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices may include matching information (which may not include the identification of the AIoT device). The matching information may not be unique to each AIoT device, but may be applicable to a group of AIoT devices (i.e., one or more AIoT devices). Moreover, the number of this group of AIoT devices may be uncertain. For example, it can only be determined after feedback from the AIoT device. When the AIoT device has the matching information or has information corresponding to the matching information, the AIoT device can be considered to be the target AIoT device (i.e., the AIoT device that successfully matches the information used to screen and / or identify the AIoT device, the target device of the first operation).

[0342] For example, in example 1, the AIoT device stores matching information. For example, if the matching information is "AAA", and the AIoT device also stores "AAA", the match is successful. It is not difficult to understand that there may be multiple AIoT devices that store "AAA".

[0343] For example, in case 2, the AIoT device stores information corresponding to the matching information (which may be different from the matching information, but corresponds to the matching information). For example, if the matching information is "AAA" and the AIoT device stores "BBB", since AAA and BBB have a corresponding relationship, the match is successful. It is not difficult to understand that there may be multiple AIoT devices that store "BBB".

[0344] In another embodiment, the information used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices includes an identifier of the AIoT device. In this case, an AIoT device identifier can be used to specifically refer to an AIoT device. Multiple AIoT device identifiers can be used to specifically refer to multiple AIoT devices. It is not difficult to understand that the identifier of an AIoT device uniquely identifies the AIoT device and is not shared by other AIoT devices.

[0345] In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices includes information indicating characteristics of the AIoT devices. Because different AIoT devices have different characteristics, the information indicating the characteristics of the AIoT devices can be used to screen and / or identify AIoT devices.

[0346] In one embodiment of the present application, the wireless control is, for example, one of the following: service area, power control, etc. The wireless control corresponding to the first feature is, for example, the service area corresponding to the first feature, and the power control corresponding to the first feature.

[0347] Optionally, the wireless control is the wireless control (such as power control) required for the first communication device to communicate with the AIoT device.

[0348] As an implementation method, wireless control includes at least one of the following: whether an excitation signal needs to be sent, a service area, power control (such as downlink transmission power control (such as one of the following: transmission power control of a communication signal, or power control of an excitation signal), etc.

[0349] The wireless control corresponding to the first feature may be at least one of the following: the need to send an excitation signal, the service area corresponding to the first feature, and the power control corresponding to the first feature. The same applies to the wireless control corresponding to other features.

[0350] The wireless control corresponding to the second feature is, for example, at least one of the following: whether an excitation signal needs to be sent, a service area corresponding to the second feature, and power control corresponding to the second feature.

[0351] The wireless control corresponding to the third feature is, for example, at least one of the following: no need to send an excitation signal, the service area corresponding to the third feature, and the power control corresponding to the third feature.

[0352] The wireless control corresponding to the fourth feature is, for example, at least one of the following: the need to send an excitation signal, the service area corresponding to the fourth feature, and the power control corresponding to the fourth feature.

[0353] Optionally, the object requesting the first operation refers to: a requesting party requesting the first operation; the requesting party may be called a client. The requesting party may be a certificate holder (such as a certificate holder of an AIoT device). The object requesting the first operation may be one or more.

[0354] In one embodiment, the object may be referred to as one of the following: client, owner, owner, certificate holder (such as a certificate holder of an AIoT device).

[0355] In one embodiment of the present application, the service area or supported service area is at least one of the following: an area providing AIoT services, an area communicating with AIoT devices (such as an area for direct communication), and an area supporting AIoT operations.

[0356] In one embodiment, the supported service area is different from the TA list supported by the RAN device in the related art. Therefore, the supported service area can be represented by another area information (i.e., area information different from the TA). Alternatively, the currently supported TA list (such as the supported TA List in the NG interface request message in the related art) is understood as the first TA, and the supported service area is understood as the second TA. When the RAN device supports communication with the UE and the AIoT device at the same time, the first TA list and the second TA list can be provided at the same time. The second TA list is different from the first TA list. When the RAN device supports communication with the AIoT device, a second TA list can be provided, that is, the information used to indicate the supported service area can be the second list.

[0357] The AIoT service can realize the operation requirements of customers, networks or readers on AIoT devices (such as the first operation).

[0366] The first operation (also referred to as an AIoT operation) may include one or more operations on an AIoT device; the AIoT device may be one or more.

[0367] In one embodiment, the operation on the AIoT device is at least one of the following:

[0386] However, it is not difficult to understand that the command operation, read operation, write operation, control operation, activation operation, and deactivation operation also need to execute at least one of the following: screening AIoT devices, discovering AIoT devices, identifying AIoT devices, authenticating AIoT devices, and authorizing AIoT devices.

[0387] It should be noted that the related operations of the first operation (which may also be referred to as operations related to the first operation) include but are not limited to the first operation, for example: the related operations of the first operation can be determined based on the first operation (such as a command operation (such as a write operation)): the related operations of the first operation can be determined based on the requested first operation. In addition to the first operation, the related operations of the first operation may also include at least one of the following: screening one or more AIoT devices, discovering one or more AIoT devices, identifying one or more AIoT devices, obtaining the identification of one or more AIoT devices, authenticating one or more AIoT devices, and authorizing one or more AIoT devices. It is not difficult to understand that in one embodiment, the first operation, such as a command operation (such as a write operation), can be performed on the target AIoT device only on the basis of screening, discovering, identifying, and / or authenticating the target AIoT device.

[0388] The first command includes one of the following: an AIoT command, a command that can only be implemented by communicating with an AIoT device; the first command requires communication with an AIoT device.

[0398] AIoT is the abbreviation of Ambient Internet of Things

[0399] Environmental Internet of Things refers to the technology that uses environmental energy harvesting technology to convert the available signals and energy in the surrounding area into electrical energy to drive its own circuits, and at the same time uses a communication mode based on backscattering to transmit information to the target node.

[0400] The Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT), also known as the Ambient Power-Enabled Internet of Things (Ambient Power-Enabled IoT), is a type of IoT service. AIoT devices are low-power IoT devices that consume low power overall, including low-power signal reception and low-power signal transmission. Due to this low overall power consumption, communication energy can come from the environment, such as wind energy, kinetic energy, thermal energy, and radio frequency (RF) signals. AIoT devices can also be described as passive IoT devices or transponder devices.

[0401] In an optional embodiment of the present application, an AIoT device is referred to as a terminal of an AIoT service (which may be referred to as an AIoT terminal). In a broad sense, a terminal also includes an AIoT device. In other words, an AIoT device includes a terminal.

[0404] In one embodiment, the AIoT device can be a tag or an electronic tag (i.e., an RFID tag). Tag is a common name for RFID, which is the abbreviation for Radio Frequency Identification.

[0405] In an optional embodiment of the present application, AIoT devices can be classified based on energy source, backscatter technology or the ability to generate active signals, energy storage capability, passive communication or active communication, etc., including multiple types of devices.

[0406] In one embodiment, the radio frequency identification technology of AIoT devices can be divided into three types: active, passive, and semi-active. Passive AIoT devices can also be called Passive IOT, that is, passive Internet of Things devices.

[0419] - have limited energy storage capacity;

[0422] - Devices that can access wireless communication systems through readers and writers;

[0423] - devices that support the first interface;

[0426] In one embodiment, the AIoT device includes: a low-cost, low-complexity, low-power, or low-power IoT device.

[0427] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the active communication is further divided into one of the following: 1) DOA Device-originating – autonomously initiated by the device; 2) DO-DTT Device-originating – device-terminated triggered active communication. For example, the active communication is initiated only when the device receives downlink trigger signaling.

[0428] In one embodiment of the present application, permission is included.

[0429] In one embodiment of the present application, authorized representatives are allowed.

[0430] In one embodiment of the present application, the anchor gateway is also referred to as a gateway that terminates the N6 interface, and the N6 interface is an interface between the mobile communication network and the data network (Date Network, DN).

[0431] In one embodiment of the present application, the second communication device and the third communication device may be provided together.

[0432] In one embodiment of the present application, a feature and a feature category may be understood as the same thing.

[0433] In one embodiment of the present application, the feature of an AIoT device can be an abbreviation of an AIoT device feature category, which can be understood as a thing.

[0434] In one embodiment of the present application, the characteristics of different AIoT devices can be used to distinguish the types of AIoT devices. The characteristic categories of AIoT devices can also be referred to as the types of AIoT devices. AIoT devices with different characteristics can also be referred to as different types of AIoT devices.

[0435] The characteristics or feature categories of an AIoT device may include at least one of the following: a first feature, a second feature, a third feature, and a fourth feature.

[0436] In one embodiment of the present application, all features or all feature categories of an AIoT device include one of the following:

[0437] The first characteristic, the second characteristic, the third characteristic and the fourth characteristic;

[0438] The first and second characteristics.

[0439] The first feature, the third feature, and the fourth feature.

[0440] In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to indicate the characteristics of the AIoT device includes the characteristics or feature categories of the AIoT device.

[0441] In one embodiment of the present application, the characteristics of an AIoT device may be reflected as the capabilities of the AIoT device.

[0442] It is easy to understand that the characteristics can also be called capabilities. The first characteristic can be called a first capability, the second characteristic can be called a second capability, the third characteristic can be called a third capability, and the fourth characteristic can be called a fourth capability.

[0443] It is not difficult to understand that, due to the limitations of AIoT device capabilities, the areas supported by the first communication device for providing AIoT services may be different for different AIoT devices. For example, the areas supported by the first communication device for providing AIoT services may be different for AIoT devices whose uplink transmission method is actively generated signals and for AIoT devices whose uplink transmission method is backscatter. Therefore, the service area can be further divided into a service area corresponding to the backscatter method and / or a service area corresponding to the active signal generation method.

[0444] In one implementation, different features correspond to different service areas.

[0445] It is not difficult to understand that under the same signal strength of the first communication device, the service areas perceived by AIoT devices with different characteristics are different. For example, the service area perceived by an AIoT device with amplification capabilities can be larger than the service area perceived by an AIoT device without amplification capabilities. For another example, the service area perceived by an AIoT device that has the ability to generate uplink transmission signals or whose uplink transmission method is to actively generate signals can be larger than the service area perceived by an AIoT device that does not have the ability to generate uplink transmission signals or whose uplink transmission method is backscattering.

[0446] In another embodiment, the service area supported by the first communication device can be the same for different features. In other words, the service area corresponding to different features is the same. For example, the first communication device can communicate with an AIoT device that does not have the ability to generate an uplink transmission signal or whose uplink transmission mode is backscatter by amplifying the signal (such as the capability that needs to be set in the reader / writer).

[0447] In one embodiment, it is possible that the first operation needs to be performed multiple times according to the wireless control corresponding to multiple characteristics (such as transmit power) to complete the first operation. It is not difficult to understand that the purpose is to avoid missing different types of AIoT devices.

[0448] In another embodiment, it is possible to perform the first operation multiple times based on the strongest wireless control (such as transmission power). It is not difficult to understand that in order to avoid missing AIoT devices with different characteristics, for example, if the transmission power required by the first characteristic is higher than the transmission power required by the second characteristic, when there are AIoT devices with the first and second characteristics, the wireless control of the first characteristic is used to perform the first operation.

[0449] In one embodiment of the present application, the AIoT capability includes the ability to communicate with an AIoT device (e.g., the ability to directly communicate with an AIoT device via an air interface). The ability to communicate with an AIoT device may also be referred to as the ability to directly communicate with an AIoT device.

[0450] Optionally, obtaining can be understood as obtaining from configuration (such as local configuration), receiving, receiving after request, obtaining through self-learning, obtaining by deduction based on information not received, or obtaining after processing received information. The specific method can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, when a certain capability indication information sent by a device is not received, it can be inferred that the device does not support the capability.

[0451] Optionally, the sending can include broadcasting, broadcasting in system messages, and returning after responding to the request.

[0452] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the communication device may include at least one of the following: a communication network element and a terminal.

[0453] In one embodiment of the present application, the communication network element may include at least one of the following: a core network element and a radio access network element.

[0526] Optionally, the object requesting the first operation refers to: a requesting party requesting the first operation; the requesting party may be called a client.

[0540] The RAN device in the second communication device is a device on the RAN side responsible for providing a service interface.

[0546] Used to indicate to ignore the information of the first mandatory element in the NG interface request message.

[0547] Optionally, the AIoT capability of the first communication device includes the ability to communicate with an AIoT device (such as the ability to communicate directly with an AIoT device via an air interface).

[0548] In one implementation, the information used to identify the first communication device is, for example, one of the following: a RAN identifier, a transport layer address on the RAN side, and a UE identifier.

[0549] In one implementation, the supported service area is a service area supported by the first communication device, such as a directly supported service area and an indirectly supported service area (such as a service area extended by a sixth communication device).

[0550] In one implementation, the supported service area is a collection of service areas supported by the first communication device and the sixth communication device.

[0551] It is not difficult to understand that when the sixth communication device serves as an intermediate node of the first communication device, the service area of ​​the first communication device can be expanded.

[0552] In one embodiment, the supported service area is further divided into at least one of the following:

[0553] a service area supported by the first communication device;

[0554] The service area supported by the sixth communication device.

[0555] It is easy to understand that the information used to indicate the supported service areas can be further divided into at least one of the following:

[0556] Information used to indicate a service area supported by the first communication device;

[0557] Information used to indicate a service area supported by the sixth communication device.

[0558] It is easy to understand that the information indicating the list of the first object can be further divided into at least one of the following:

[0559] Information for indicating a list of first objects of the first communication device;

[0560] Information indicating a list of first objects of a sixth communication device.

[0561] Optionally, when the first condition is met, the first message includes: information for instructing to ignore the first mandatory information element in the NG interface request message;

[0562] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0563] The first message is an NG interface request message;

[0564] The first communication device does not support the first mandatory information element in the NG interface;

[0565] The first communication device does not support communication with the terminal;

[0566] The first communication device is a radio access network RAN ​​device;

[0567] The first mandatory information element includes at least one of the following: a supported tracking area TA list, and a default paging discontinuous reception (DRX).

[0568] In one implementation, the first mandatory information element includes at least one of the following: an information element indicating a supported TA list, and an information element indicating a default paging DRX.

[0569] Optionally, the fourth message includes at least one of the following:

[0570] information used to identify the second communication device;

[0571] The AIoT capability of the second communication device.

[0572] In one embodiment, the information used to identify the second communication device is, for example, an identifier of an AMF or AIoT function.

[0573] The AIoT capability of the second communication device includes the ability to communicate with an AIoT device (such as the ability to communicate directly with an AIoT device via an air interface).

[0574] Optionally, the relevant information of the sixth communication device includes at least one of the following:

[0575] Information indicating supported service areas;

[0576] Information indicating a first object list;

[0577] Information of the sixth communication device.

[0578] Optionally, the first interface includes at least one of the following:

[0579] an interface between the first communication device and the second communication device;

[0580] Interface between RAN equipment and CN equipment;

[0581] The interface between RAN equipment and CN equipment is different from the existing NG interface;

[0582] Interfaces between devices supporting communication with AIoT devices and AIoT functions, or interfaces between RAN devices supporting communication with AIoT devices and AIoT functions;

[0583] Interfaces between devices supporting communication with AIoT devices and CN devices, or interfaces between RAN devices supporting communication with AIoT devices and CN devices;

[0584] Alternatively, the first interface satisfies one of the following characteristics:

[0585] Information required for interaction between the first communication device and the second communication device;

[0586] Non-terminal associated signaling is used.

[0587] In one implementation, if the existing NG interface (ie, the NG interface in the related art) is referred to as a first NG interface, the interface between the RAN and CN devices that is different from the existing NG interface may be referred to as a second NG interface.

[0588] The purpose of establishing or activating the first interface is to exchange information (e.g., application-level data) required for interaction between the first communication device and the second communication device on the control plane of the first interface. This procedure should be the first first interface procedure triggered after the TNL association begins operation. The process of establishing or activating the first interface uses non-terminal-associated signaling.

[0589] The information required for the first communication device to interact with the second communication device is, for example, information required for the first communication device to interact with the second communication device via the control plane of the first interface. The required information is used to support the execution of the first operation.

[0590] When the RAN device supports communication with AIoT devices but does not support communication with existing UEs, a second NG interface can be established with the CN device.

[0591] When the RAN device supports communication with the UE in the related technology but does not support communication with the AIoT device, a first NG interface can be established with the CN device.

[0592] When the RAN device supports communication with AIoT devices and communication with UE in related technologies at the same time, it can establish an NG interface with the CN device, and the NG interface establishment request or update request includes relevant information of the first communication device.

[0593] Optionally, the first object in the first object list is used to represent at least one of the following:

[0594] The first communication device allows execution of operations from the first object;

[0595] the object to which the first communication device belongs;

[0596] The first communication device allows the object.

[0597] It is easy to understand that, in one implementation, the first object list may be referred to as a first object list allowed by the first communication device, such as a client list allowed by the first communication device.

[0598] Optionally, the first communication device or the sixth communication device (e.g., a reader / writer) may belong to the network operator or a third party. It is readily understood that, in another embodiment, the first object list may be referred to as a list of first objects to which the first communication device or the sixth communication device belongs, such as a list of owners of the first communication device or the sixth communication device. It is readily understood that since the first communication device belongs to the first object, the first communication device is naturally permitted to perform operations on the first object.

[0599] Optionally, the first object list includes one or more first objects.

[0600] In one embodiment, the first object can be called one of the following: customer, owner, owner, certificate holder (such as the certificate holder of an AIoT device).

[0601] In one implementation, the subscription information of the first communication device (such as UE) or the sixth communication device (such as UE) includes a first object list.

[0607] A downlink signal of the first communication device can reach the AIoT device and an area where the downlink signal can reach the first communication device through backscattering of the AIoT device;

[0608] The downlink signal of the sixth communication device can reach the AIoT device and the downlink signal can be backscattered by the AIoT device to reach the area of ​​the sixth communication device.

[0609] Optionally, the supported service area includes at least one of the following areas:

[0610] a service area supported by the first communication device;

[0611] The service area supported by the sixth communication device.

[0612] In one embodiment, the service area supported by the first communication device is one of the following: an area where the first communication device provides AIoT services, an area where the first communication device and a sixth communication device provide AIoT services. In this case, the sixth communication device is an intermediate node of the first communication device.

[0613] In one embodiment, the service area supported by the sixth communication device (such as an intermediate node) is: the area in which the sixth communication device provides AIoT services.

[0614] In a scenario where a sixth communication device (such as an intermediate node) exists, it is not difficult to understand that the sixth communication device (such as an intermediate node) can expand the service area of ​​the first communication device.

[0615] 1) In one embodiment, the service area supported by the first communication device may include: the sum of the service area supported by the first communication device itself and the service area supported by the sixth communication device.

[0616] 2) In another embodiment, the supported service areas are two areas, that is, the supported service area of ​​the first communication device only includes the service area supported by itself, and the service area supported by the intermediate node is represented by other information.

[0617] Optionally, the service area includes at least one of the following service areas:

[0618] The service area corresponding to the first feature;

[0619] the service area corresponding to the second feature;

[0620] The service area corresponding to the third feature;

[0621] the service area corresponding to the fourth feature;

[0622] The first feature includes at least one of the following:

[0623] less than or equal to the first peak power consumption;

[0624] Have energy storage;

[0625] The initial sampling frequency offset is less than or equal to the first value;

[0626] There is no downlink amplification function;

[0627] There is no uplink amplification function;

[0628] There is no ability to generate uplink transmission signals, or the uplink transmission mode is backscatter;

[0629] The second feature includes at least one of the following:

[0630] less than or equal to the second peak power consumption;

[0631] Have energy storage;

[0632] The initial sampling frequency offset is less than or equal to the second value;

[0633] With downlink amplification function;

[0634] With uplink amplification function;

[0635] Not having the ability to generate an uplink transmission signal, or having the ability to generate an uplink transmission signal;

[0636] The uplink transmission method is through an actively generated signal, or the uplink transmission method is backscatter;

[0637] The third feature includes at least one of the following:

[0638] less than or equal to the second peak power consumption;

[0639] Have energy storage;

[0640] The initial sampling frequency offset is less than or equal to a third value;

[0641] With downlink amplification function;

[0642] With uplink amplification function;

[0643] The device has the capability to generate an uplink transmission signal, or the uplink transmission method is to generate an actively generated signal;

[0644] The fourth feature includes satisfying at least one of the following features:

[0645] The power consumption is less than or equal to the second peak value (for example, the second peak value is several hundred μW peak value, etc.);

[0646] Have energy storage;

[0647] The initial sampling frequency offset is less than or equal to the value of four;

[0648] With downlink amplification function;

[0649] With uplink amplification function;

[0650] There is no ability to generate uplink transmission signals, or the uplink transmission mode is backscatter.

[0651] Optionally, the first peak power is, for example, 1 μW, and the second peak power is, for example, several hundred μW.

[0652] Optionally, the first value, the second value, the third value or the fourth value is, for example, 10 Xppm. The first value, second value, third value, or fourth value may be the same or different. For example, if the first peak power consumption in the first characteristic is relatively small, the first value corresponding to the initial sampling frequency offset may be smaller than the second value, third value, and fourth value. In another embodiment, the second, third, and fourth characteristics all correspond to the second peak power consumption, and the second, third, and fourth values ​​corresponding to the initial sampling frequency offset may be the same.

[0653] It is easy to understand that the characteristics can also be called capabilities. The first characteristic can be called a first capability, the second characteristic can be called a second capability, the third characteristic can be called a third capability, and the fourth characteristic can be called a fourth capability.

[0654] It is not difficult to understand that, due to the limitations of AIoT device capabilities, the areas supported by the first communication device for providing AIoT services may be different for different AIoT devices. For example, the areas supported by the first communication device for providing AIoT services may be different for AIoT devices whose uplink transmission method is actively generated signals and for AIoT devices whose uplink transmission method is backscatter. Therefore, the service area can be further divided into a service area corresponding to the backscatter method and / or a service area corresponding to the active signal generation method.

[0655] In one embodiment, the service areas supported by the first communication device are different for different features. In other words, the service areas corresponding to different features are different.

[0656] It is not difficult to understand that under the same signal strength of the first communication device, the service areas perceived by AIoT devices with different characteristics are different. For example, the service area perceived by an AIoT device with amplification capabilities can be larger than the service area perceived by an AIoT device without amplification capabilities. For another example, the service area perceived by an AIoT device that has the ability to generate uplink transmission signals or whose uplink transmission method is to actively generate signals can be larger than the service area perceived by an AIoT device that does not have the ability to generate uplink transmission signals or whose uplink transmission method is backscattering.

[0657] In another embodiment, the service area supported by the first communication device can be the same for different features. In other words, the service area corresponding to different features is the same. For example, the first communication device can communicate with an AIoT device that does not have the ability to generate an uplink transmission signal or whose uplink transmission mode is backscatter by amplifying the signal (such as the capability that needs to be set in the reader / writer).

[0658] In one embodiment, the service area includes at least one of the following service areas:

[0659] The service area corresponding to the first feature includes, for example, one of the following: a service area corresponding to “no uplink amplification capability”, a service area corresponding to “no downlink amplification capability”, a service area corresponding to “no capability to generate uplink transmission signals”, and a service area corresponding to backscattering;

[0660] The service area corresponding to the second feature includes, for example, one of the following: the service area corresponding to "having uplink amplification capability", the service area corresponding to "having downlink amplification capability", the service area corresponding to "having the ability to generate uplink transmission signals", and the service area corresponding to "the uplink transmission method is through actively generated signals".

[0661] In another embodiment, the service area includes at least one of the following service areas:

[0662] The service area corresponding to the first feature;

[0663] The service area corresponding to the third feature;

[0664] The service area corresponding to the fourth feature.

[0665] It is not difficult to understand that the second feature includes at least one of the following:

[0666] The third feature may include at least one of the following: power consumption less than or equal to the second peak value (e.g., several hundred μW peak value); downlink amplification function; uplink amplification function; the ability to generate uplink transmission signals, or the uplink transmission method is through actively generated signals;

[0668] Optionally, the first type of AIoT device may be an AIoT device having a first characteristic. It is not difficult to understand that the service area corresponding to the first characteristic may be referred to as the service area corresponding to the first type of AIoT device.

[0669] Optionally, the second type of AIoT device may be an AIoT device having a second characteristic. It is not difficult to understand that the service area corresponding to the second characteristic may be referred to as the service area corresponding to the second type of AIoT device.

[0670] Optionally, the third type of AIoT device may be an AIoT device having a third characteristic. It is not difficult to understand that the service area corresponding to the third characteristic may be referred to as the service area corresponding to the third type of AIoT device.

[0671] Optionally, the fourth feature may correspond to a fourth type of AIoT device, that is, the fourth type of AIoT device may be an AIoT device with the fourth feature. It is not difficult to understand that the service area corresponding to the fourth feature may be referred to as the service area corresponding to the fourth type of AIoT device.

[0672] In one embodiment, the service area includes at least one of the following service areas:

[0717] In one embodiment, the object requesting the first operation includes one or more objects (such as clients).

[0718] In one embodiment, different AIoT device types or capabilities correspond to different service areas. Therefore, based on the target area of ​​the first operation, the information indicating the target characteristics, and the supported service areas, the target device for performing the first operation can be determined.

[0719] In one implementation, when the communication device used to indicate execution of the first operation includes the first communication device, the first communication device may be discovered or selected (eg, to execute the first operation).
