[0002] Ambient-IoT (Ambient Power Enabled Internet of Things) devices are IoT devices that support ambient power. In specific scenarios, they can be powered by energy from the environment. Compared to narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) devices, Ambient-IoT devices are less complex and less expensive.

[0003] Ambient-IoT devices are generally low-power devices, so they can maintain operation for a long time based on energy from the environment or their own batteries. However, energy is limited. Once the energy is exhausted, the Ambient-IoT device will stop working without further energy from the environment, affecting the user experience.

[0038] A first aspect provides a transmission processing method, which is executed by a first device and includes: receiving a first transmission from a second device; and determining, based on the first transmission, how the first device processes a command sent by the second device.

[0039] Based on the above solution, determining how a first device processes a command sent by a second device based on a second transmission from the second device allows different first devices to process commands from the second device based on different actual situations, thereby reducing power consumption of the first device and / or providing better response to the second device through appropriate processing methods. In some embodiments of the first aspect, determining how the first device processes a command sent by the second device based on the first transmission includes: receiving a first command sent by the second device; generating a first random number based on the first command; and determining how the first device processes the command sent by the second device based on the first random number.

[0040] Based on the above scheme, the first device determines the processing method for the command sent to the second device according to the first random number, so that the device that monitors the first command at the same time performs corresponding processing on the command sent by the subsequent second device, so that different first devices respond to the second device respectively in different actual situations, and the power consumption of the first device is reduced through appropriate processing methods.

[0041] In some embodiments of the first aspect, determining, based on the first random number, how the first device processes a command sent by the second device includes at least one of the following:

[0042] determining, based on a magnitude relationship between the first random number being greater than or equal to a first threshold, a method for processing, by the first device, the command sent by the second device;

[0043] Monitor a first signal of the second device, determine how the first device processes a command sent by the second device based on the first signal, and decrement the first random number based on the number of commands monitored from the second device when monitoring the command sent by the second device.

[0044] The above solution limits how the first device processes the instruction sent by the second device based on the first random number.

[0045] In some embodiments of the first aspect, determining, based on the magnitude relationship between the first random number being greater than or equal to the first threshold, how the first device processes the command sent by the second device includes at least one of the following:

[0046] When the first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the first timer is started and the monitoring of commands sent by the second device is stopped during the running time of the first timer; when the first locator times out, the monitoring of commands sent by the second device is resumed; and the behavior of the first device is controlled according to the type of command monitored from the second device.

[0047] The first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, and monitoring of the first signal of the second device is started, and a processing method of the first device for the command sent by the second device is determined according to the first signal;

[0048] The first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, starting a first timer and starting to monitor the first signal of the second device when the first timer times out, and determining, based on the first signal, how the first device processes the command sent by the second device;

[0049] The first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the command sent by the second device continues to be monitored, and the decrement operation of the first random number is not performed when the second command is monitored.

[0050] Based on the above solution, when the first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the first device can flexibly select any of the above methods to process the command sent by the second device, which has the characteristic of simple implementation.

[0051] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the first command includes at least one of the following:

[0052] First parameter; the first parameter is used by the first device to generate a first random number;

[0076] The behavior of the first device is determined according to a magnitude relationship between the first random number and a third threshold indicated by the first signal.

[0133] The first device 101 shown in FIG. 1A may be any device that performs wireless communication using a backscatter transmission mechanism.

[0134] As shown in Figure 1B, the backscatter transmission mechanism is a wireless communication mechanism that utilizes the principle of radio frequency signal backscattering with extremely low-power modulation and transmission technology. A reader sends a physical layer signal to an ambient IoT device. This physical layer signal can be a pulse signal or other AC signal. In some embodiments, this physical layer signal is used to provide energy for the ambient IoT device to transmit the signal. Therefore, this physical layer signal can be referred to as an excitation signal or trigger signal. For example, since a portion of the excitation signal is reflected when it reaches the ambient IoT device, the ambient IoT device can adjust the matching between the receiving antenna and the impedance according to the intended information to enhance the reflection of the incident excitation signal and modulate the acquired sensor data onto the reflected signal to complete the data transmission. This process is similar to a reflector. Compared to other communication technologies, backscatter transmission does not require complex radio frequency structures, reducing the use of components such as power amplifiers, high-precision crystal oscillators, duplexers, and high-precision filters. It also does not require complex baseband processing. Therefore, it can simplify the design of ambient IoT devices and significantly reduce the cost of ambient IoT device nodes. Ambient IoT devices are IoT devices that use environmental energy to operate. This environmental energy can include the aforementioned wireless signal energy, as well as other environmental capabilities such as geothermal energy and / or light energy.

[0135] Backscatter communication has been widely used in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, with numerous large-scale commercial applications. Its operating principle is that a receiver (typically an RFID reader) transmits a radio frequency excitation signal, activating a passive node (typically an RFID electronic tag). The tag then uses backscatter communication to modulate its information onto the radio frequency signal. The reader then receives the reflected signal from the passive tag and demodulates it, achieving information transmission.

[0136] At present, RFID technology also has many disadvantages, such as short coverage distance (the wireless signal will experience double path fading during the communication process, so the path loss is large and the effective communication distance is short), single channel transmission, the need for strict tag alignment, no power control, etc. There is a lot of room for improvement in RFID technology in terms of communication. It needs to be integrated with the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) rd The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) communication technology improves the wireless communication performance of RFID technology in the passive Internet of Things.

[0137] The new type of IoT devices we are targeting have the characteristics of low memory, low processing power, low battery, small data transmission, and massive deployment. Environmental IoT devices can be maintenance-free and have a long service life (for example, more than 10 years).

[0138] These new IoT devices require energy from radio waves transmitted by network nodes to power themselves. Therefore, until they receive energy, they are typically powered off, meaning they are disconnected from the network. To address this, the communication system must support data communication methods with shorter transmission times, lower memory consumption, and more convenient terminal management to expedite data communication.

[0139] Backscatter transmission network topologies can include one of the following:

[0140] Topology 1: As shown in Figure 1C, uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) data transmission is carried out directly between ambient IoT devices and access network devices.

[0141] Topology 2: As shown in Figure 1D, DL and UL data transmission occurs indirectly between ambient IoT devices and access network equipment. Intermediate nodes (also called auxiliary nodes) provide forwarding services. These intermediate nodes can include relays, integrated access backhaul (IAB), user equipment (UE), and repeaters (RP).

[0142] Topology 3: As shown in Figure 1E, ambient IoT devices and access network devices directly transmit or receive data in the DL or UL. Auxiliary nodes are located on the UL or DL, responsible for receiving or sending UL or DL ​​data. Examples of auxiliary nodes include relays, integrated access backhaul (IAB) nodes, terminals, and network controlled repeaters (NCRs).

[0143] Topology 4: As shown in Figure 1F, the ambient IoT device and the UE directly receive and transmit data on the downlink and uplink. The UE is responsible for collecting data and forwarding it to the network.

[0144] Ambient IoT communications (i.e., communications between ambient IoT devices and base stations (topology 1, as shown in Figure 1C) and UEs (topology 2, as shown in Figure 1D)) can use spectrum resources in three forms: in-band, guard-band, or stand-alone.

[0145] Among them, in-band refers to the uplink and / or downlink spectrum resources used for normal New Radio (NR) communications.

[0146] Guard-band is a spectrum resource that uses the guard band of the normal NR communication DL and / or UL spectrum.

[0147] Standalone networking uses spectrum resources unrelated to normal NR communications.

[0148] As shown in Figure 1G, devices that use the backscatter transmission mechanism for wireless communication can be divided into three types:

[0149] Device A: has no energy storage, cannot independently generate and / or amplify signals, and can only perform backscatter transmission.

[0150] Device B: Has energy storage, cannot generate signals independently, and can only perform backscatter transmission. The use of stored energy can include amplification of the backscattered signal.

[0151] Device C: has energy storage and can independently generate signals, that is, it has active radio frequency (RF) components for transmission.

[0152] It should be noted that each device in Figure 1G has two grids: the first grid indicates whether the device has the ability to independently generate signals; the second grid indicates whether the device has the ability to store energy. When a device's grid is unfilled, it indicates that the device does not have the corresponding capability; when a device's grid is filled, it indicates that the device has the corresponding capability.

[0153] In some embodiments, the following constraints are imposed on ambient IoT devices:

[0154] Category 1 devices have a peak power consumption of approximately 1μW, energy storage, and an initial sampling frequency offset (SFO) of up to 10X ppm. They have neither downlink nor uplink amplification. Their uplink transmission is backscattered on an externally provided carrier.

[0155] Category 2 devices have peak power consumption less than or equal to a few hundred μW, have energy storage, and have an initial SFO of up to 10X ppm. They also have downlink amplification and / or uplink amplification. Uplink transmissions can be generated internally or backscattered on an externally provided carrier. X is determined by the working group.

[0156] To support data transmission between ambient IoT devices, the network needs to support the following functions. A device in the network can support one or more functions.

[0157] The Energy Source (ES) function is only used by Device B and Device C.

[0158] The downlink transmission (DT) function sends instruction information to the environmental IoT device, thereby triggering the uplink transmission of the environmental IoT device.

[0159] This continuous wave (CW) function is used only by devices A and B. Ambient IoT devices use backscatter CW for uplink transmission. CW is actually a type of ES, and Ambient IoT devices can receive CW and store energy.

[0160] The uplink receiver (UR) function receives uplink information backscattered by environmental IoT devices, or receives uplink information actively transmitted by environmental IoT devices.

[0161] The device that performs the above-mentioned ES, DT, CW or UR functions may be a UE, a repeater or a base station, etc. A device may support only one of the above-mentioned functions. Alternatively, a device may also support multiple of the above-mentioned functions at the same time. Alternatively, a device may also support all of the above-mentioned functions at the same time.

[0162] This embodiment provides a transmission processing method, which is performed by a communication system. The method may include:

[0163] First step: The second device sends a first transmission.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first device may be a wireless device that does not have a power supply module, a wireless device whose power supply capability of its power supply module is extremely weak, a wireless device that has a power supply module but the power supply module has lost its power supply capability, or any wireless device that supports backscatter communication.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first device may be any passive device, an ambient energy device, or an ambient IoT device.

[0166] Exemplarily, the first device may be device A, device B and / or device C shown in FIG. 1G .

[0167] The second device can be any communication device that includes a power supply module. For example, the second device can be any type of communication device that includes a battery. For example, the communication device can include, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, a smart home device, and / or a smart office device.

[0168] The second device may include but is not limited to a server or an application function (AF).

[0169] In some embodiments, the second device may be an interrogator and / or a reader, etc.

[0170] In some embodiments, the first transmission may be any transmission sent by the second device, including but not limited to commands and / or various signals. In some embodiments, the first transmission may be any transmission that determines how the first device handles commands from the second device within a subsequent period of time.

[0171] In some embodiments, the first transmission may be any behavior of the second device specified by the first device over a subsequent period of time.

[0172] Step 2: The first device determines, based on the first transmission, how the first device should process the command sent by the second device.

[0173] FIG2A is an interactive diagram illustrating a transmission processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG2A , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a transmission processing method for use in a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0174] Step S2101: The second device sends a first command to the first device.

[0175] In some embodiments, the second device broadcasts, multicasts, or unicasts the first command to the first device.

[0176] In some embodiments, the first device receives a first command sent by the second device.

[0177] Exemplarily, the first device is an IoT device, and the second device may be an IoT server.

[0178] In some embodiments, the second device may be any network device located within the trust domain of the mobile communication network.

[0179] In some embodiments, the second device may be any network device located in the trust domain of the mobile communication network. Such a second device may be connected to the mobile communication network through a network open function or the like.

[0180] In some embodiments, the first command is used by the first device to generate a random number; the random number is used to determine a timing for the first device to send information to the second device. Exemplarily, the first command may be a query command.

[0181] In some embodiments, the first command may also serve as an incentive for the first device, such that the first device may communicate with the second device based on the capabilities provided by the first command.

[0182] It can be understood that the second device sends the first command to the first device, so that the first device can generate a random number according to the first command; and determine whether to send information to the second device according to the random number.

[0183] In some embodiments, the first command carries a first parameter; the first parameter is used by the first device to generate a random number.

[0184] In some embodiments, the first parameter is used by the first device to determine a numerical range of the random number.

[0185] For example, the first parameter may be Q. For example, the first parameter generated according to the first parameter may be 2 Q -1 or 2 Q .

[0186] In some embodiments, Q has a certain value range, and Q carried by different first commands may be any value within the value range, for example, the value range may be 0 to 15, 0 to 31, or 0 to 63.

[0187] In some embodiments, the first command includes first information. The first information can be used to determine whether the first device is dormant or awake. Exemplarily, the first information can include first timing information and / or a first threshold. Exemplarily, the first timing information can include timing duration and / or timing end time information. Furthermore, the first information can directly carry the first threshold value, or carry an index to the first threshold value. Of course, the above is merely an example of the first threshold.

[0188] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0189] A first information field indicating first timing information;

[0190] The second information field indicates the first threshold.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first information field and / or the second information field may include one or more bits; different bit values ​​of the one or more bits are used to carry indexes or specific values ​​of different contents.

[0192] It should be noted that the first timing information and / or the first threshold are optional content, and the specific first timing information and / or the first threshold can be agreed upon by a protocol or pre-configured.

[0193] S2102: The first device generates a first random number.

[0194] In some embodiments, the first device generates the first random number according to the first command. For example, the first device may generate the first random number according to a first parameter carried in the first command.

[0195] Exemplarily, the first random number may be an integer.

[0196] In some embodiments, the first random number is used to determine a timing for the first device to send information to the second device.

[0197] In some embodiments, the first device randomly generates a first random number after receiving the first command, and the first random number may or may not refer to the first command.

[0198] In some embodiments, the first device may determine a numerical range according to the first parameter, and generate a first random number based on the numerical range.

[0199] In some embodiments, the first device determines a timing to send information to the second device based on the first random number.

[0200] In some embodiments, the first device determines, based on the first random number, a timing for sending information to the second device, including at least one of the following:

[0201] The first random number is equal to the first value, and the first device sends information to the second device;

[0202] If the first random number is not equal to the first value, and the value after decrementing the first random number based on the number of commands received from the second device is equal to the first value, the first device does not send information to the second device. For example, the minuend in each decrement operation can be a specified value, which can be a different value such as 1, 2, or 3. For example, the second device can determine the size of the minuend in the decrement operation based on the first random number. Typically, the minuend in the decrement operation is 1.

[0203] It should be noted that the first value may be a fixed value agreed upon in the protocol, for example, the first value is zero. Alternatively, the first value may be a value configured by the second device.

[0204] When the first random number generated by the first device is equal to the first value, the first device may send information to the second device based on the signal energy of the first signal. It is understandable that when the first random number is equal to the first value, the first device sends information to the second device via backscattering.

[0205] When the first random number generated by the first device is not equal to the first value, the first device may start monitoring commands sent by the second device to perform a decrement operation according to the number of monitored commands.

[0206] S2103: The second device sends a command and / or a first signal to the first device.

[0207] In some embodiments, the second device broadcasts, multicasts, or unicasts the command.

[0208] In some embodiments, the second device broadcasts, multicasts, or unicasts the first signal.

[0209] In some embodiments, the second device may send multiple commands to the first device, including:

[0210] A first command, which may be a query command and usually carries a first parameter;

[0211] A second command, which may be a repeat command and may or may not carry a parameter value for adjusting the random number;

[0212] The third command may be an adjustment command, and the adjustment command may carry information such as parameter values ​​for the first device to regenerate random numbers, and timing information for adjusting a timer started in the first device.

[0213] For example, the commands sent by the second device to the first device can be divided into multiple categories, including but not limited to: tag selection commands, inventory commands, and / or access commands. Different types of commands can be further divided into commands with different functions. The tag here refers to a type of the first device.

[0214] The transmission processing method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied in an inventory scenario. Therefore, the second device can send an inventory command to the first device.

[0215] In some embodiments, the inventory command may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0216] Query command. After the tag receives the query command, each tag selected according to the first set standard generates a random number. Each tag whose random number is a specified value will return a response to the device that sent the query command. For example, the response may carry a random number generated based on the query command. The random number can be replaced by RN16. The state of the device that returns a response based on the query command enters the reply state. The tag that meets the second set standard can modify its own attributes or identification to exit the monitoring tag group. The tags in the tag group will listen to the commands of the device that sent the query command. Exemplarily, the second set standard may be an unselected tag. It is worth noting that: the tag is used here to replace the aforementioned first device. Exiting the tag group through some tags is conducive to reducing duplicate identification.

[0217] QueryAdjust command. After receiving a valid command, the tag can regenerate a random number based on the QueryAdjust command. Other operations are similar to the query command. The query adjust command can also be simply called the adjust command.

[0218] Query Repeat (QueryRepeat, QueryRep): After a tag receives a reselect repeat command, the tag's original random number is reduced by one. The query repeat command can also be called a repeat command.

[0219] Acknowledgement character (ACK) command. Exemplarily, the ACK command can be a unicast command. Only a single tag can receive a valid ACK command. This command can be used to tag a random number carried by a query command or query adjustment command, which can serve as an identifier for receiving the ACK command.

[0220] Non Acknowledgement character (NACK). After a tag receives a valid NAK command, all tags except those originally in the Ready or Killed state are transferred to the Arbitrate state.

[0221] Of course, the above is just an example of the command in the inventory scenario, and the specific implementation is not limited to the above example.

[0222] In some embodiments, the first signal may be used to indicate a status of the first device; or, the first signal may be used to instruct the first device on how to process a command sent to the second device.

[0223] In some embodiments, the first signal may be any low-power signal.

[0224] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a physical layer signal. For example, the first device may decode the first signal using a low-power or low-difficulty method such as coherent demodulation.

[0225] In some embodiments, the command sent by the second device may require higher-layer decoding, such as layer 2 or layer 3 decoding. Layer 2 may include, but is not limited to, the MAC layer. Layer 3 may be the RRC layer. The first signal may be a wireless signal that only requires physical layer decoding.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first signal may include but is not limited to a low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS). Due to the characteristics of the first signal, the power consumption of the first device for monitoring and decoding the first signal is low.

[0227] S2104: The first device processes the command sent by the second device based on the first random number.

[0228] The following are several optional ways for the first device to process the command sent by the second device:

[0229] Method 1: determining a processing method of the first device for the command sent by the second device based on a magnitude relationship between the first random number being greater than or equal to a first threshold.

[0230] For example, the first threshold may be determined in a predetermined manner such as according to an instruction of the first command or according to a protocol agreement.

[0231] In Method 1, if the first random number is less than the first threshold, the first device is determined to continue monitoring commands sent by the second device, and the first random number is decremented based on the number of commands sent by the second device. For example, the first device monitors various commands sent by the second device and decrements the first random number when a second command is detected. For example, the first device decrements the first random number each time the first second command is detected until the decremented random number reaches the first value.

[0232] When the first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the manner in which the first device processes the command sent by the second device may include one or more options, which may be as follows:

[0233] Option A: If the first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the first timer is started and the monitoring of commands sent by the second device is stopped during the running time of the first timer. The first locator times out and the monitoring of commands sent by the second device is resumed. The behavior of the first device is controlled according to the type of command monitored from the second device.

[0234] In this way, if the first device starts the first timer, it will not monitor the commands sent by the second device within the time range of the first timer, thereby saving power consumption of the second device. If the first timer times out, the first device can resume monitoring the commands sent by the second device.

[0235] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the commands that the first device may monitor from the second device may include at least: a first command, a second command and / or a third command.

[0236] In some embodiments, controlling the behavior of the first device according to the type of command monitored from the second device includes at least one of the following:

[0237] :

[0238] monitoring a second command from the second device, ignoring the second command and not performing a decrement operation on the first random number according to the second command;

[0239] The second device monitors the third command and controls the behavior of the first device according to the third command.

[0240] Exemplarily, the second command may be the aforementioned repeat command, the third command may be the aforementioned query adjustment command, and so on.

[0241] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the first timer expires, the first device resumes monitoring for commands from the first device, but whether to perform a decrement operation is determined based on the command being monitored. For example, if the monitored command is a second command, the second command is ignored. Exemplarily, ignoring the second command may include not performing a decrement operation based on the monitored second command. If a third command is monitored, the first device is further controlled to perform a corresponding operation based on the third command.

[0242] In some embodiments, controlling the behavior of the first device according to the third command includes at least one of the following:

[0243] Monitor the third command and generate a second random number;

[0244] The behavior of the first device is determined according to the magnitude relationship between the second random number and the second threshold.

[0245] For example, the third command may carry a second parameter. This second parameter may be used to update the random number stored in the first device. For example, the second parameter may be used by the first device to generate a second random number. For example, the second parameter may be another Q, which may be used to update the random number currently stored in the first device. The updated random number is referred to as the second random number in the disclosed embodiments.

[0246] In some embodiments, the value range of the second parameter may be smaller than or equal to the value range of the first parameter. If the value range of the second parameter is smaller than the value range of the first parameter, the second random number may have a greater probability of being smaller than the first random number.

[0247] In some embodiments, the third command may also include second timing information and / or a second threshold. For example, the second timing information may contain similar content to the first timing information. For example, the second timing information may indicate the timing duration or the timing end time. The second timing information may be an index to the timing duration, for example. The third command may include the second threshold or an index to the second threshold. In short, the third command can be used by the first device to determine the first threshold, etc. It is worth noting that the second threshold and / or the second timing information may be optional content of the third command.

[0248] In some embodiments, the second random number is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the second timer is started, and after the second timer times out, the monitoring of the third command sent by the second device is continued and commands other than the third command sent by the second device are ignored.

[0249] In some embodiments, the first device starts a second timer and enters a dormant state within the second timer's running time. While in the dormant state, the first device may not monitor commands sent by the second device. Upon expiration of the second timer, the first device exits the dormant state and resumes monitoring for commands sent by the second device. Simultaneously, the second device decodes the commands it monitors from the second device, ignores the second command, and only performs operations related to the third command.

[0250] In some embodiments, the second random number is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the second value is obtained by subtracting the first value from the second random number, the commands sent by the second device are continuously monitored and the second value is decremented according to the number of commands monitored from the second device.

[0251] In some embodiments, the third command may further include the first value. Of course, the first value may not be indicated by the third command. For example, the first device determines the first value according to a predetermined method such as a protocol agreement.

[0252] If the second random number is relatively large, the first device performs a decrement operation based on the number of instructions received from the second device, causing the first device to monitor the instructions sent by the second device for a long time. The second random number is subtracted from the first value to obtain the second value. If the second value is equal to the first value, the first device immediately replies to the second device. If the second value is greater than the first value, the first device continues to monitor the commands sent by the second device and performs a decrement operation based on the number of commands monitored from the second device. For example, a decrement operation is performed every time a second instruction is monitored from the second device.

[0253] In this way, the monitoring time of the first device can be reduced and the monitoring power consumption of the first device can be reduced.

[0254] In some embodiments, the second random number is less than a second threshold, and any command sent by the second device is monitored and a decrement operation of the second random number is performed according to the number of commands monitored from the second device.

[0255] Exemplarily, if the second random number is less than the second threshold, any inventory command sent by the second device is monitored, and the second random number is decremented based on the number of command hops from the second device to the second device. Furthermore, if the second random number is less than the second threshold, any command sent by the second device is monitored, and the second random number is decremented when the second command is detected.

[0256] Option B: If the first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, monitoring of the first signal of the second device is started, and a processing method of the first device for the command sent by the second device is determined according to the first signal.

[0257] In option B, a first signal is introduced to put the first device into sleep or wake up through the first signal.

[0258] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a signal that is transmitted periodically. For example, the transmission period of the first signal may be preconfigured, as specifically provided in a protocol. In this manner, when the first device starts monitoring for the first signal, it only needs to wake up and monitor the first signal when the first signal is transmitted. It can remain dormant at other times, thereby saving power consumption of the first device.

[0259] In other embodiments, the first signal may also be a non-periodic signal, and the second device may dynamically send the first signal as needed. In this way, the first device starts monitoring the first signal and remains awake before monitoring a first signal to avoid missing the first signal.

[0260] In some embodiments, the first signal indicates that the first device is in sleep mode, and the first device is determined to be in sleep mode and wakes up to listen to the first signal at a wake-up sending timing of the first signal.

[0261] In some embodiments, the first signal instructs the first device to wake up, continue to monitor commands sent by the second device, and decrement the first random number according to the number of commands monitored from the second device.

[0262] Exemplarily, the first signal may indicate that the first device is dormant or awake via one or more bits. In another exemplary embodiment, the first signal may indicate that the first device is dormant via one or more sequences, and other sequences may indicate that the first device is awake.

[0263] In some embodiments, the behavior of the first device is determined based on a magnitude relationship between the first random number and a third threshold indicated by the first signal.

[0264] In some embodiments, there are multiple ways for the first signal to indicate the third threshold. Several optional ways are provided below:

[0265] Mode 1: The third signal directly carries the third threshold. For example, the third signal includes a signal sequence and the third threshold or an index value of the third threshold appended to the signal sequence.

[0266] Mode 2: The signal sequence of the third signal corresponds to the candidate value of the third threshold. Thus, the third threshold indicated by the current third signal is determined according to the signal sequence of the currently received third signal and the corresponding relationship.

[0267] Method 3: The third signal may have multiple candidate resource locations, which are mapped to the third threshold. The first device then determines the third threshold based on the resource locations of the received third signal and the mapping relationship. The resource locations may include, but are not limited to, time domain locations and / or frequency domain locations.

[0268] Of course, the above is merely an example of the first signal indicating the third threshold, and the specific implementation is not limited to the above example.

[0269] In some embodiments, the first random number is greater than or equal to a third threshold, and it is determined that the first device does not monitor the command sent by the second device.

[0270] In this case, if the first random number is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the first device can ignore any command or inventory command sent by the second device and only maintain monitoring of the first signal, thereby saving power consumption of monitoring the instructions sent by the second device.

[0271] In some embodiments, if the first random number is less than the third threshold, it is determined that the first device monitors commands sent by the second device and decrements the third random number based on the number of commands monitored by the second device. The decrement operation here can refer to any of the above descriptions and is not specifically limited.

[0272] In some embodiments, the first signal carries at least one of the following information:

[0273] The third threshold;

[0274] Device identifier, used to indicate the device to which the first signal acts.

[0275] In some embodiments, the first signal may be a broadcast signal, so that all devices in a tag group can monitor it, and thus which devices need to perform corresponding operations according to the first signal can be indicated by the devices.

[0276] In other embodiments, the first signal may act on all devices in a tag group, so that all first devices in the tag group monitor the first signal and can execute the operation corresponding to the first signal.

[0277] Option C: The first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the first timer is started and the monitoring of the first signal of the second device is started when the first timer times out, and the first device determines how to process the command sent by the second device based on the first signal.

[0278] Option C differs from Option B in that, upon determining that the first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the first device does not immediately initiate monitoring of the first signal. Instead, it first initiates a first timer and then resumes monitoring of the first signal after the first timer expires. Any optional implementation of the first device's behavior controlled by the first signal in Option C can also be referred to in Option B.

[0279] Option D:

[0280] The first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the command sent by the second device continues to be monitored, and the decrement operation of the first random number is not performed when the second command is monitored.

[0281] In some embodiments, if the first random number is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the first device will continue to monitor for commands sent by the second device, but will not decrement the first random number upon receiving the second command, waiting for the second device to send a third command. For example, the second device waits for a response from the first device. If no response is received from the first device within a predetermined timeframe, the second device will automatically send a third command to expedite the response from the first device.

[0282] FIG2B is an interactive diagram illustrating a transmission processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG2B , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a transmission processing method for use in a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0283] Step S2201: The second device sends a first command to the first device.

[0284] Any optional method of S2201 here can refer to S2101 of the corresponding embodiment of Figure 2A.

[0285] S2202: The first device generates a first random number.

[0286] Any optional method of S2202 here can refer to S2102 of the corresponding embodiment of Figure 2A.

[0287] S2203: The second device sends a command and / or a first signal to the first device.

[0289] Correspondingly, the first device monitors the first signal of the second device.

[0291] S2204: Determine, according to the first signal, how the first device processes the command sent by the second device.

[0292] In some embodiments, the first signal indicates that the first device is in sleep mode, and the first device is determined to be in sleep mode and wakes up to listen to the first signal at a wake-up sending timing of the first signal.

[0293] In other embodiments, the first signal instructs the first device to wake up, continue to monitor commands sent by the second device, and decrement the first random number according to the number of commands monitored from the second device.

[0294] In some embodiments, the behavior of the first device is determined based on a magnitude relationship between the first random number and a third threshold indicated by the first signal.

[0295] In some embodiments, the first random number is greater than or equal to a third threshold, determining that the first device does not monitor commands sent by the second device;

[0296] If the first random number is smaller than the third threshold, it is determined that the first device monitors the command sent by the second device and decrements the third random number according to the number of commands monitored by the second device.

[0297] In some embodiments, the first signal carries at least one of the following information:

[0298] The third threshold;

[0299] Device identifier, used to indicate the device to which the first signal acts.

[0300] Likewise, when the random number generated by the first device according to the instruction of the second device is equal to the first value, or is equal to the first value through one or more subtraction operations, the first device sends a response to the second device.

[0301] In summary, the first device determines how to process the command sent by the second device according to the first signal. Please also refer to Option B or Option C of the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2A .

[0302] FIG2C is an interactive diagram illustrating a transmission processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG2C , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a transmission processing method for use in a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0303] S2301: The second device sends a first signal and / or command to the first device.

[0304] Any optional method of S2301 here can refer to S2103 of the corresponding embodiment of Figure 2A.

[0305] Correspondingly, the first device receives the first signal and / or command.

[0306] S2302: Determine, based on the first signal, how the first device processes the command sent by the second device.

[0307] In some embodiments, there are multiple implementations of S2302, and the specific implementation is not limited to any of the above:

[0308] Method 1: The first signal instructs the first device to sleep, and the first device is determined to be in sleep mode and wakes up at a wake-up sending timing of the first signal to monitor the first signal.

[0369] For the relevant descriptions of the command, the first device, the second device and / or the first signal herein, reference may be made to the relevant descriptions of the corresponding embodiments in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C .

[0370] In some embodiments, the first signal instructs the first device to sleep; during the sleep period, the first device stops monitoring commands sent by the second device.

[0371] In some embodiments, the first signal indicates that the first device is awake, and the first device listens for commands sent by the second device during the awake period.

[0372] In some embodiments, the first signal includes a third threshold; the third threshold is used to compare with a random number generated by the first device to obtain a comparison result; the comparison result is used by the first device to determine whether to sleep. The random number generated by the first device may include the first random number, the second random number, and / or the third random number mentioned in any of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0373] In some embodiments, after a tag receives a query command from an interrogator, the query command carries a Q, and the value of Q is (0..15). The tag generates a random number (0..2 Q -1).

[0374] Whenever a query repeat command is received, the random number is reduced by 1 until it reaches 0. After the random number is reduced to 0, the tag can return a response to the interrogator based on the backscatter mechanism.

[0375] In some embodiments, if the random number generated by the tag is very large, the tag may need to receive numerous query repetition commands before the random number is reduced to 1. Such excessive reception of query repetition commands may cause the tag to waste power.

[0376] The disclosed embodiment uses network-side control to temporarily stop a tag that generates a large random number from listening to network instructions. When the tag needs to listen, the network-side control can be used to enable the tag to restart listening, thereby saving power for the tag.

[0377] In view of this, two optional solutions are provided below to solve the above problems.

[0378] Option 1:

[0379] Step 1: The network (or a reader or interrogator) issues a command to the tag. For example, this command may include a query command. The query command may include a Q value, which is used by the tag or an ambient IoT device to generate a random number RN16. The network also configures a threshold Th-RN16 and / or a timer T1.

[0380] Step 2: If the random number (RN16) generated by the tag is greater than Th-RN16, or RN16 is greater than or equal to Th-RN16, the tag starts timer T1. Before timer T1 expires, the tag does not receive or ignores air interface commands sent by the reader. When timer T1 expires, the tag begins to listen for air interface commands sent by the reader.

[0381] Step 3: The tag receives a command sent by the network. The command received by the tag may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0382] (a) Command 1: This command can be used to configure timer T1 and / or threshold Th-RN16. If RN16 of the biaoq is greater than Th-RN16 or RN16 is greater than or equal to Th-RN16, the tag starts or restarts timer T1.

[0383] (b) Command 2: This command can be used to configure a delta-RN16 and / or a threshold Th-RN16. If RN16 is greater than Th-RN16 or RN16 is greater than or equal to Th-RN16, the RN16 in the tag is deducted from the delta-RN16 and the network monitoring command is restarted.

[0384] (c) Query Adjust command, regenerate random number RN16 based on the newly configured Q of the query adjustment command. Optionally, the network side can also configure another threshold (Th-RN16). The network side can also configure a timer T1. After timer T1 times out, listen for commands sent by the card reader or interrogator, and ignore the query repeat command after decoding the command. For example, a slot counter can be used to perform a counting operation. For example, the initial value of the slot counter can be a random number generated according to the query command or query adjustment command. The tag keeps listening to the network side command until it receives a command containing delta-SN16 or T1, such as QueryRep or QueryAdjust. Repeat steps 1 to 3.

[0385] Option 2:

[0386] Step 1: The network (or a reader or interrogator) issues a command to the tag. For example, this command may include a query command. The query command may include a Q value, which is used by the tag or an ambient IoT device to generate a random number RN16. The network also configures a threshold Th-RN16 and / or a timer T1.

[0387] Illustratively, step 1 is an optional step.

[0388] Step 2: The network (or reader or interrogator) issues a command to the tag. For example, the command may include a query command. The query command may include a Q value, which is used by the tag or surrounding IoT device to generate a random number RN16. The network also configures a threshold Th-RN16 and / or a timer T1. For example, step 1 is optional.

[0389] Step 3: The network sends a signal, which can be any signal such as LP-WUS. This signal is used to instruct the device to sleep, temporarily stop monitoring the network, or the tag to resume monitoring the network.

[0390] If the signal instructs the tag to resume listening, the tag resumes listening.

[0391] Optionally, the signal may indicate an RN16 threshold at which monitoring needs to be restarted.

[0392] The tag determines whether to monitor network commands based on the RN16 threshold indicated by the signal. For example, if the RN16 generated by the tag is greater than or equal to the RN16 threshold, the tag will not monitor the network. If the RN16 is less than the RN16 threshold, the tag will return to the state of monitoring network commands.

[0393] Optionally, the signal may also indicate information such as an inventory identification of the inventory. The inventory identification information is a type of the aforementioned device identification.

[0394] FIG5 shows a transmission processing method in an inventory scenario, which may include:

[0395] Step 1: The interrogator sends a command, which may include an inquiry command, an inquiry adjustment command, or an inquiry repeat command.

[0396] Step 2: Assuming the random number is equal to 0, the tag sends the generated random number (RN16) to the interrogator. If the random number is not equal to 0, the tag does not respond to the interrogator.

[0397] Step 3: The interrogator sends an ACK command carrying a random number;

[0398] Step 4: The tag receives the ACK command, determines a valid random number (a random number generated by itself) and responds to the interrogator, otherwise it does not respond.

[0399] Step 5: Ask it to send repeated ACK commands, which carry repeated random numbers;

[0400] Step 6: The tag receives the ACK command, determines a valid random number (a random number generated by itself) and responds to the interrogator, otherwise it does not respond.

[0401] Step 7: The interrogator accesses the tag using the handle as a parameter. Step 8: The tag verifies the handle.
