[0121] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0122] The terms "first", "second", etc. in this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "or" in this application represents at least one of the connected objects. For example, "A or B" covers three options, namely, Option 1: including A but not including B; Option 2: including B but not including A; Option 3: including both A and B. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0123] The term "indication" in this application can be either a direct indication (or explicit indication) or an indirect indication (or implicit indication). A direct indication can be understood as the sender explicitly informing the receiver of specific information, the operation to be performed, or the requested result, etc. in the instruction sent; an indirect indication can be understood as the receiver determining the corresponding information based on the instruction sent by the sender, or making a judgment and determining the operation to be performed or the requested result, etc. based on the judgment result.

[0124] It is worth noting that the technology described in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) or other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology 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 example purposes, and NR terminology is used in most of the following description, but these technologies can also be applied to systems other than NR systems, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0125] In order to facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following technical points are first introduced below.

[0126] Currently, there are multiple scenarios where information needs to be sent to one or more AIoT devices.

[0127] Scenario 1: The application sends the Xth message through AF, and the target device of the Xth message is one or more AIoT devices:

[0128] For example, a write operation requires writing X information (such as the content information to be written) to one or more AIoT devices;

[0129] For example, a read command requires sending X information (such as a read command) to one or more AIoT devices;

[0130] The information includes signaling and data;

[0131] The Xth message sent to the AIoT device can be transparent to the intermediate transmission device.

[0132] Scenario 2: A core network (CN) device (e.g., an AIoT function) generates and / or sends the Xth message, where the target device of the Xth message is one or more AIoT devices;

[0133] For example, the configuration operation of an AIoT device requires sending X information (such as configuration information) to one or more AIoT devices;

[0134] For example, an instruction for obtaining information of an AIoT device needs to send X information to one or more AIoT devices (such as an instruction to read and obtain information of an AIoT device);

[0135] The Xth message sent to the AIoT device can be transparent to the intermediate transmission device.

[0136] Scenario 3: The RAN (such as a reader) generates and / or sends the Xth message, the target device of the Xth message is one or more readers, and an intermediate node device needs to forward it.

[0137] For example, the configuration operation of AIoT devices: write the Xth information to one or more AIoT devices.

[0138] The Xth message sent to the AIoT device can be transparent to the intermediate node devices.

[0139] Problem 1 (Information Forwarding): For information that needs to be sent to one or more AIoT devices (e.g., message X), the reader / writer is unclear about how to select the AIoT device to send the information. This is especially true when message X is transparent to the intermediate transmission device. The reader / writer does not know which AIoT device is the target AIoT device for the information.

[0140] One solution is to specify the target communication device's information when sending the message;

[0141] Question 2: When the Xth information is to be sent to multiple AIoT devices, there is also the issue of how the information is transmitted.

[0142] One solution is that the communication device only needs to directly exchange an Xth information and information used to filter and / or identify the target AIoT device (used to indicate multiple AIoT devices); the reader is then responsible for sending the Xth information to each target AIoT device (which can be called the first AIoT device), as shown in Figure 7.

[0143] Question 2: When the UE acts as a reader / writer, it can operate both offline and online. The UE needs to have control over the non-access layer. How the UE, acting as a reader / writer, sends information to AIoT devices also needs to be solved.

[0144] The solution is that the information that needs to be sent to the AIoT device must be visible to the UE, and the UE is responsible for the security control and container generation of the information sent to the AIoT device.

[0212] In one embodiment, backscatter or communication without active signal generation capability means backscattering on an externally provided carrier.

[0213] In one embodiment, the active signal generation refers to the AIoT device generating the signal itself.

[0214] Optionally, the first interface can be implemented in the following ways: Method 1, reusing the NG interface, for example, the base station supports both AIoT device (new uu interface) communication and UE (traditional uu interface) communication, and adding a new IE to the mandatory information of the NG interface; Method 2, reusing 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 the default paging DRX (Default Paging DRX); Method 3, introducing a new interface, such as a second NG interface.

[0215] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the second interface is a wireless interface between the first communication device, the sixth communication device, or the reader / writer and the AIoT device. In one embodiment, the second interface may be different from the Uu interface or the PC5 interface. In another embodiment, the second interface may be an enhancement of the Uu interface or the PC5 interface.

[0216] In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to screen and / or identify target AIoT devices can be used to screen and / or identify one or more AIoT devices.

[0217] The information used to screen and / or identify the target AIoT device includes at least one of the following: an identifier of the AIoT device or an identifier list of AIoT devices, an identifier for identifying a group of AIoT devices (referred to as a group identifier), matching information, and information indicating the characteristics of the AIoT device.

[0219] In one embodiment, the identifier of the AIoT device is an identifier of an AIoT device. The AIoT device identifier list includes identifiers of one or more AIoT devices.

[0220] In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to screen and / or identify the target AIoT device 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.

[0221] In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to screen and / or identify target 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.

[0222] 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the information used to screen and / or identify the target AIoT device may not include the identification of the AIoT device. The information used to screen and / or identify the target AIoT device 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 is necessary to feedback the identification of the AIoT device through the AIoT device before it can be determined. 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 target AIoT device, the target device of the first operation).

[0223] 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".

[0224] 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".

[0225] In another embodiment, the information used to screen and / or identify the target AIoT device 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.

[0236] The AIoT service can realize the operation requirements of customers, networks or readers on AIoT devices (such as the first operation).

[0237] In one embodiment, the supported service area is different from the Timing Advance (TA) list supported by the existing RAN device. Therefore, the supported service area can be represented by additional area information (i.e., area information different from the TA). Alternatively, the currently supported TA list (such as the supported TA List in the existing NG interface request message) 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.

[0254] 6) Control one or more AIoT devices (e.g., sending commands to AIoT devices to control the actuators associated with the AIoT devices or the AIoT devices to execute the commands. This can be referred to as control operations)

[0255] 7) Locate one or more AIoT devices, etc.

[0256] In another embodiment, the operation on the AIoT device is at least one of the following:

In this case, the intermediary device is also called a reader or a component of the reader.

[0275] In one embodiment, the intermediate device may be an intermediate node located between the AIoT device and other devices (such as access network devices or readers), but is not limited to this. The intermediate device can expand the coverage of the other devices or assist in communication between the AIoT device and other network devices (such as access network devices or readers), but is not limited to this.

[0317] The first and second characteristics.

[0318] The first feature, the third feature, and the fourth feature.

[0319] 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.

[0320] In one embodiment of the present application, the characteristics of an AIoT device may be reflected as the capabilities of the AIoT device.

[0321] 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.

[0322] 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.

[0323] In one implementation, different features correspond to different service areas.

[0324] 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.

[0325] 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).

[0326] In one embodiment, it is possible to perform the first operation multiple times based on the wireless control corresponding to multiple features (such as transmit power) to complete the first operation. It is not difficult to understand that the purpose is to avoid missing AIoT devices with different features.

[0327] 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.

[0328] 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.
