AIoT Temporary Identity Management for Low-Power Device Paging

The patent introduces a reader as an intermediary entity that performs the temporary ID assignment function on behalf of the AIoT device. The reader receives the permanent ID from the AIoT device, generates the temporary ID, and manages the mapping between permanent and temporary IDs. This transfers the complexity from the constrained AIoT device to the more capable reader, allowing simple devices to benefit from efficient temporary ID-based communication without needing to implement complex ID management themselves.

The patent extracts the temporary ID storage function from the AIoT device itself and relocates it to the reader. The AIoT device only needs to store its permanent ID, which it can retain without power. When the device is energized, it communicates its permanent ID to the reader, which then provides the temporary ID for active communication. This separation allows the device to maintain ultra-low power consumption while the reader handles the temporary ID storage and management.

The patent segments the identification function into two parts: a permanent ID that the AIoT device stores for uniqueness identification, and a temporary ID that the reader generates and manages for efficient communication. The permanent ID ensures device uniqueness, while the temporary ID (which can be shorter and reused) optimizes communication resource efficiency. This segmentation allows both long-term identification reliability and short-term communication efficiency to coexist.
