3GPP 23.369 v20.0.0 — the document's own text
3.1 Terms
Taught in 1. What Ambient IoT is: a network that reads tags with no battery (Ambient IoT — a tag with no battery, quick start), 2. What an Ambient IoT system is made of (Ambient IoT — a tag with no battery, quick start).
For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in TR 21.905 [1] and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 [1].
AIoT Area: An area in which NG-RAN can perform Ambient IoT operations, see TS 38.300 [5], represented by an AIoT Area identifier. There can be multiple NG-RAN nodes and multiple RAN Readers in a single AIoT Area. NG-RAN nodes and RAN Readers can be part of multiple AIoT Areas.
AIoT Device: An Ambient IoT device is an IoT device powered by energy harvesting, with limited energy storage capability.
DO-A Capable AIoT Device: An AIoT device that can initiate a device-originated autonomous data delivery.
External Area Identifier: An identifier for an AIoT service area used by the AF when requesting AIoT Service Operations.
External Target Area: An area used between the NEF and AF in AIoT service operations, identified by a pre-configured External Area Identifier or geographic location (e.g. a civic address or GAD shapes, see TS 23.032 [12]).
Target Area: An area in which a service operation request towards an AIOTF is intended to operate, identified by a list of AIoT Areas.
