Abstract

Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products for handling ambient internet of things (AIoT) command procedures in a network, such as the 5G core network (5GC), are described. One method may include receiving a first command request associated with multiple target AIoT devices, sending an inventory request to a RAN node, receiving device inventory response(s), sending second command requests targeted for a respective target AIoT device from the multiple target AIoT devices, receiving a plurality of command responses each respectively associated with the respective target AIoT device, and sending a command report comprising an aggregation of the command responses and indicating a respective identifier associated with the multiple target AIoT devices from which a command response was received.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A network element, comprising:

circuitry, including any of a processor and transceiver, configured to
receive a first command request associated with multiple target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices;
send an inventory request to a radio access network node;
receive one or more device inventory responses, wherein each of the device inventory responses is associated with one of the target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices, and wherein each of the device inventory responses indicates an identifier associated with a target ambient internet of things (AIoT) device from which the device inventory response is received;
based on the device inventory responses, send a plurality of second command requests, wherein each of the second command requests is targeted for a respective target ambient internet of things (AIoT) device from the multiple target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices, wherein each of the second command requests indicates the respective identifier associated with the target ambient internet of things (AIoT) device from which the device inventory response is received;
receive a plurality of command responses, wherein each of the command responses is respectively associated with the respective target ambient internet of things (AIoT) device from the multiple target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices;
and
send a command report comprising an aggregation of the command responses, wherein the command report indicates a respective identifier associated with the multiple target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices from which a command response was received.

5 more elements

A method, implemented by a network element, the method comprising:

receiving a first command request associated with multiple target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices;
sending an inventory request to a radio access network node;
receiving one or more device inventory responses, wherein each of the device inventory responses is associated with one of the target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices, and wherein each of the device inventory responses indicates an identifier associated with a target ambient internet of things (AIoT) device from which the device inventory response is received;
based on the device inventory responses, sending a plurality of second command requests, wherein each of the second command requests is targeted for a respective target ambient internet of things (AIoT) device from the multiple target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices, wherein each of the second command requests indicates the respective identifier associated with the target ambient internet of things (AIoT) device from which the device inventory response is received;
receiving a plurality of command responses, wherein each of the command responses is respectively associated with the respective target ambient internet of things (AIoT) device from the multiple target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices;
and
sending a command report comprising an aggregation of the command responses, wherein the command report indicates a respective identifier associated with the multiple target ambient internet of things (AIoT) devices from which a command response was received.
