Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0055] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects related to each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0056] The service processing method, apparatus, communication device, and readable storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a flowchart of a service processing method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to a first network function, which may be an access and mobility management function (AMF), a passive Internet of Things network function (such as an Ambient Internet of Things Network Function, Ambient IoT NF), a core network function (such as a 5G Core Network Function, 5GC NF), or other network functions capable of implementing similar functions; as shown in Figure 1, the method includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 11: The first network function selects a first reader and / or a second reader, wherein the first reader is a fixed or static terminal and the second reader is an access network device.

[0059] Step 12: The first network function sends a first service request message to the first reader / writer, and / or sends a second service request message to the second reader / writer.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the fixed or static terminal refers to a terminal with a fixed location and a static address, as opposed to a mobile / dynamic terminal. The fixed or static terminal may also be referred to as a fixed or static type terminal.

[0061] The first service request message is used to request a service. The first service request message may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a transaction identifier (e.g., a transaction ID), a service type, an Electronic Product Code (EPC) code list, a manufacturer TID code list, an operator identifier list, an operation time (e.g., when the reader is selected), and an aggregation indicator for indicating that service data should be aggregated.

[0062] The second service request message is used to request a service. The second service request message may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a transaction identifier (such as a transaction ID), a service type, an EPC code list, a TID code list, an operator identifier list, an operation time (such as the time when the reader is selected), an aggregation indicator for indicating that service data should be aggregated, and the like.

[0063] It should be noted that the service type identifies the corresponding service as an Ambient Internet of Things (Ambient IoT) service and / or inventory and / or read and / or write and / or disable operation, etc. The EPC code contains relevant information of the tag operator. The TID code identifies the manufacturer's information, which is similar to the International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI). The operator identifier may include a mobile network code (MNC) and a mobile country code (MCC), etc. The MNC (or MCC) can also be configured separately. The operator identifier list is used to identify which operators' devices can access the network. The aggregation indication identifies whether the network can aggregate data; the operation time may be a specified time and / or the period of periodic operation, etc.

[0064] Through the solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to support the selection of fixed or static terminals and / or access network devices as readers and writers, that is, to use fixed or static terminals and / or access network devices as readers and writers to execute IoT services, thereby realizing IoT services, such as realizing a passive IoT inventory access solution for cross-operators.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to support selecting a fixed or static terminal and / or access network device as a reader / writer based on the area information obtained from a third party. The above service processing method may also include:

[0066] The first network function receives a third service request message, where the third service request message includes the first area information. For example, the first network function (such as an AMF or an Ambient IoT NF) may receive the third service request message from a Network Exposure Function (NEF) to obtain the first area information carried therein.

[0067] The selection of the first reader and / or the second reader may include: the first network function selecting the first reader and / or the second reader based on the first area information, that is, selecting a fixed / static terminal reader and / or a next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) reader. For example, the first network function (such as an AMF or an Ambient IoT NF) may select a fixed / static terminal within the area corresponding to the first area information as a reader, and / or select an access network device within the area corresponding to the first area information as a reader.

[0068] Optionally, the first area information may include at least one of the following: a tracking area (TA), a TA list, a base station, a base station list, a cell, a cell list, etc. When the first area information includes a TA, the corresponding area may be the area of ​​the TA; when the first area information includes a TA list, the corresponding area may be the area of ​​all or part of the TAs in the TA list; when the first area information includes a base station, the corresponding area may be the area covered by the base station; when the first area information includes a base station list, the corresponding area may be the area covered by all or part of the base stations in the base station list; when the first area information includes a cell, the corresponding area may be the area covered by the cell; when the first area information includes a cell list, the corresponding area may be the area covered by all or part of the cells in the cell list.

[0069] Optionally, after receiving the first service request message, the fixed / static terminal may initiate a paging request for the first device and receive a paging response from the successfully matched first device, which includes the device identifier, EPC code, operator identifier, service data, etc. After receiving the second service request message, the access network device may initiate a paging request for the first device and receive a paging response from the successfully matched first device, which includes the device identifier, EPC code, operator identifier, service data, etc. The first device may optionally be an Ambient IoT device such as a tag device.

[0073] The first network function performs a first operation, wherein the first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0074] (1) Determine whether the device identifier and / or operator identifier included in the first service response message is included in a first operator identifier list; for example, the first operator identifier list may be obtained by the first network function (such as AMF or Ambient IoT NF) from a third party (such as NEF) and is used to determine whether the read and write operations of the first reader / writer meet the requirements;

[0075] (2) if the device identifier and / or operator identifier included in the first service response message is not included in the first operator identifier list, deleting the service data corresponding to the device identifier and / or operator identifier in the first service response message; or, if the device identifier and / or operator identifier included in the first service response message is included in the first operator identifier list, deduplicating the service data corresponding to the device identifier and / or operator identifier in the first service response message; in this way, only devices corresponding to the operator identifiers in the first operator identifier list are allowed to access, and response data of duplicate devices are removed;

[0076] (3) parsing the service data included in the first service response message, aggregating the parsed service data of the multiple first devices into a third service response message, and sending the third service response message; the first device may be an Ambient IoT device such as a tag device; in this way, it is possible to support parsing the data packet content and performing secondary aggregation, thereby aggregating the service data of the multiple first devices into one response message;

[0159] Through the solution in the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to support the selection of an access network device as a reader / writer, that is, to use the access network device as a reader / writer to execute IoT services, thereby realizing IoT services.

[0160] Optionally, if there are multiple tag devices that are successfully matched, the access network device can aggregate the service data of multiple tag devices based on the transaction identifier (such as Transaction ID) to carry the aggregated data in a response message. For example, the service data of multiple tag devices that belong to the same category or are related can be aggregated based on the Transaction ID.

[0161] Optionally, the service processing method in this embodiment may further include:

[0162] The access network device sends a second service response message to the first network function. The second service response message includes at least one of the following: a device identifier (e.g., identifying the first device that was successfully paged), an operator identifier (e.g., including an MNC / MCC), and service data of the first device that was successfully paged. This allows the first network function to obtain the service result returned by the access network device.

[0163] The following describes the registration process initiated by the terminal as a static reader in the present disclosure in conjunction with Figure 6. As shown in Figure 6, the specific registration process includes:

[0164] Step 1: A terminal, such as a user equipment (UE), initiates a registration request to the network (such as NG-RAN), which carries at least one of the following: an indication of the UE's reader type (e.g., fixed / static or mobile / dynamic), information about the area the UE serves, etc.

[0165] It should be noted that this is not limited to Ambient IoT scenarios, but can also include other terminals such as Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).

[0166] Step 2: NG-RAN forwards the registration request initiated by the UE to the first network function (such as AMF or Ambient IoT NF), which carries at least one of the following: UE reader type indication (such as fixed / static or mobile / dynamic), UE service area information, etc.

[0167] Step 3: The AMF or Ambient IoT NF initiates the UE authentication process to the UDM. After the authentication is successful, the UDM stores and activates the UE's contract information. The UE's contract information includes at least the contract information of the UE's reader type and the UE's contract area. Optionally, the UDM sends the UE's contract information to the AMF or Ambient IoT NF.

[0168] Step 4: The AMF or Ambient IoT NF determines whether to allow the UE to access and / or whether to allow or set the UE as a fixed / static reader based on the UE's reader type and / or subscription information.

[0169] Optionally, the AMF or Ambient IoT NF allows UE access and / or allows or sets the UE as a fixed or static reader if the first condition is met; the first condition is specifically described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0170] Optionally, the UE's subscription information can also be stored in the AMF or Ambient IoT NF.

[0171] Step 5: The AMF or New Ambient IoT NF returns a registration response message and forwards it to the NG-RAN.

[0172] Step 6: NG-RAN forward registration response message to UE.

[0173] Please refer to Figure 7, which is a flow chart of selecting a fixed / static terminal and / or access network device as a Reader to perform a service in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 7, the specific service process includes:

[0174] Step 1: The UE registers with the network as a fixed reader. The specific registration process can be as described in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0175] Step 2: The third-party application function (AF) sends a service request message to the NEF. This message is used to request the network to perform device inventory, read and write, and / or disable. The message contains at least one of the following items: TransactionID, service type, EPC code list, TID code list, location information, operator identification list, aggregation indication, operation time, etc. Among them: the service type identifies the corresponding service as Ambient IoT service and / or inventory and / or read and / or write and / or disable operations, etc.; the operator identification list (which can be MCC+MNC or can be configured separately) is used to identify which operators' devices can access the network; the aggregation indication indicates whether the network can aggregate data; the operation time can be a specified time and / or the period of periodic operation, etc.

[0176] Step 3: The NEF performs authentication to verify whether the AF has the authority to operate the device. This can be done by interacting with the UDM and / or the Authentication Authorization Accounting (AAA) server, or based on configuration. The NEF can authenticate the operator ID list, remove any unsigned operators from the operator ID list, and provide feedback to the AF. If necessary, the NEF can select the AMF and / or Ambient IoT NF based on the area information and / or AF information. The NEF can convert the area information into a TA list and pass it to the AMF or Ambient IoT NF.

[0177] Step 4: NEF sends a service request message to AMF or Ambient IoT NF, which carries at least one of the following: Transaction ID, service type, TA list, EPC code list, TID code list, transmission mode, operator ID list, aggregation indication, operation time, etc.

[0178] Step 5: The AMF or Ambient IoT NF selects the NG-RAN Reader and / or the fixed UE Reader based on the TA list, and simultaneously sends a service request message to the NG-RAN Reader (corresponding to the following 6.a process) and to the fixed UE Reader (corresponding to the following 6.b process);

[0179] Step 6.a.1: The AMF or Ambient IoT NF sends a service request message to the NG-RAN Reader, which carries at least one of the following: transaction identifier (such as Transaction ID), service type, EPC code list, TID code list, operator ID list, operation time, and aggregation indication for indicating aggregation of service data;

[0180] Step 6.a.2: The NG-RAN Reader pages the device (e.g., an Ambient IoT device). The device matches the EPC field and / or operator identifier, accesses the device, and returns a paging response containing the device identifier, EPC code, and / or operator identifier.

[0181] Step 6.a.3: Optionally, the NG-RAN Reader can aggregate service data packets from multiple devices based on the Transaction ID.

[0182] Step 6.a.4: The NG-RAN Reader sends a service response message to the AMF or Ambient IoT NF, which includes at least one of the following: device identity, EPC code, operator identity, and service data returned by the device.

[0183] Step 6.b.1: The AMF or Ambient IoT NF sends a paging message to the fixed UE Reader, and the fixed UE Reader automatically responds to the paging message and establishes a connection.

[0184] Step 6.b.2: The AMF or Ambient IoT NF sends a service request message to the fixed UE Reader, which carries at least one of the following: transaction identifier (such as Transaction ID), service type, EPC code list, TID code list, operator identifier list, operation time, and aggregation indication for indicating aggregation of service data;

[0185] Step 6.b.3: The fixed UE Reader pages the device (such as an Ambient IoT device). The device matches the EPC field and / or operator ID, accesses the device after a successful match, and returns a paging response containing the device ID, EPC code, and / or operator ID.

[0186] Step 6.b.4: Optionally, the fixed UE Reader can aggregate data packets from multiple devices based on the Transaction ID;

[0187] Step 6.b.5: The fixed UE Reader sends a service response message to the AMF or Ambient IoT NF, which includes at least one of the following: device identity, EPC code, operator identity, service data returned by the device, etc.

[0188] Step 7: The AMF or Ambient IoT NF determines whether the device ID and / or operator ID included in the received service response message is included in the operator ID list. It only allows access to devices in the operator ID list and performs checks to remove duplicate device response data. Furthermore, it parses the data packet content and performs secondary aggregation to aggregate the device data into a single response message.

[0189] Step 8: The AMF or Ambient IoT NF returns a service response message to the NEF, which carries the operator identification list, EPC code list, TID code list and / or service results, etc.

[0190] Step 9: The NEF returns a service response message to the AF, which carries the operator identification list, EPC code list, TID code list and / or service results, etc.
