AIoT Reader Device Configuration via Assistance Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Configuring user equipment (UE) as a reader device for ambient Internet of Things (AIoT) devices poses challenges, including complexity that can impact power consumption and operations.
Innovation Solution
The technology involves a method where a base station requests assistance information from the UE, which includes preferences and parameters for AIoT reader operations. This information is used by the base station to optimally configure the UE as a reader device, minimizing impact on its operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If UE is configured as a reader device for AIoT operations, then AIoT reader performance is improved, but device complexity and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The base station requests and receives assistance information from the UE before configuring AIoT reader operations. This preliminary exchange of preference and parameter information allows the base station to pre-configure optimal settings, reducing the complexity burden on the UE during actual AIoT operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent involves exchanging and modifying operational parameters between the base station and UE. The base station receives preference information and parameters from the UE, then uses this to optimize the UE's configuration as a reader device, effectively managing complexity through parameter optimization rather than reducing structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If UE operates as a reader device with multiple RF channels, then AIoT operation capability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically configures the number of RF channels and other operational parameters based on the specific AIoT deployment scenario and UE capabilities. The base station adjusts these parameters in response to received preference information, allowing flexible adaptation that optimizes the balance between capability and power consumption rather than using fixed configurations.
Data Source
AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE), operating as a reader device for one or more ambient Internet of Things (AIoT) devices, transmitting assistance information to a base station. The base station, using the assistance information, may configure, or reconfigure the UE, to optimally perform AIoT reader operations for the AIoT devices, such as command procedures and/or inventory procedures.
