3GPP 23.369 v20.0.0 — the document's own text

4.1 General concept

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).

AIoT is a service that can be provided by the 5GS system to support Ambient power-enabled IoT devices that are powered by energy harvesting, being either battery-less or with limited energy storage capability (e.g. using a capacitor) and the energy is provided through the harvesting of radio waves, light, motion, heat, or any other suitable power source.

The 5GS System architecture for AIoT include the following functions and procedures for:

  • AIoT Device identification;
  • AIoT Device inventory;
  • Providing to, and obtaining from, an AIoT Device application data.
  • Disabling AIoT Devices.
