It should be noted that fig. 2 is only an example, for example: in some embodiments, the main communication module of the terminal may communicate with the main communication module of the network side device, and in some embodiments, the very low power consumption communication module of the terminal may communicate with the main communication module of the network side device.

In some embodiments, the master communication module may support communication technologies that are either Mobile Broadband (MBB) oriented or enhanced Mobile Broadband (Enhanced Mobile Broadband, eMBB) scenarios in traditional communication manners (e.g., 4G, 5G, 6G, etc.); for example: 5G NR techniques for supporting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Orthogonal frequency division multiplex, OFDM) communications, including uplink and/or downlink communications.

In some embodiments, the very low power communication module may support very low power communication, and may also support low power reception, for example: the very Low power communication module includes a Low power receiving module such as a Low power wake-up receiver, i.e., a Low power wake-up signal of version 18 in question by the third generation partnership project (3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP).

In some embodiments, the very low power consumption communication may include at least one of:

backscatter communications (Backscatter Communication) supporting energy harvesting;

Supporting powered backscatter communications;

And (5) low-power consumption receiving.

For example: the very low power consumption communication module may support energy harvesting, including but not limited to harvesting energy from light, solar energy, wireless signals, and the like.

In addition, the excitation source signal of the backscatter communication may be self-generated by a terminal having a very low power consumption communication module or generated by other devices.

In some embodiments, very low power consumption communications may refer to communications that consume significantly less power than the primary communication module, such as: communication modules with power consumption of tens of microwatts to hundreds of microwatts are typically very low power communication, while the power consumption of a main communication module is typically tens of milliwatts to thousands of milliwatts, and the cost of the very low power communication module is also significantly lower than the cost of the main communication module.

Backscatter communication (Backscatter Communication) is the most representative technique for very low power consumption communication. In principle, a backscatter communication device controls the reflection coefficient of a circuit by adjusting its internal impedance, thereby changing the amplitude, frequency, phase, etc. of a radio frequency signal from other devices or in the environment, achieving signal modulation. Typical hardware modules for backscatter communications may be as shown in fig. 3, including: an antenna unit, an energy collection module or energy supply module, a microcontroller, a signal receiving module, a channel coding and modulation module, a memory or sensing module, and the like. The signal receiving module is responsible for receiving downlink signals sent to the backscatter device by network side equipment or a card reader and the like, and the architecture and the technology of the signal receiving module can reuse the low-power consumption wake-up receiver technology defined in a protocol or newly defined later; because the backscattering communication does not actively generate radio frequency signals, the energy consumption is extremely low, usually between tens of microwatts and hundreds of microwatts, and the energy acquisition module can acquire energy such as radio frequency signals, light energy, heat energy and the like in the environment for modulating, demodulating and reflecting the signals, and does not need to be provided with energy sources such as batteries and the like; the energy supply system can also be supplied by a small energy supply module such as a button battery, thereby reducing the strength requirement on energy supply signals. In addition to the typical constituent modules described above, backscatter communications technology can integrate low power amplifier modules for improving receive sensitivity and backscatter signal power.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the backscatter communication is only an example of the communication with very low power consumption, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the communication with very low power consumption, for example: may be very low power communications as defined in the protocol, such as communications of communication modules with power consumption of tens of microwatts to hundreds of microwatts.

The above-mentioned terminal operating in the first state may be understood as the current terminal being in the first state, for example: communication-related operations performed after the extremely low power consumption communication module is turned on, or communication-related operations performed after the state of the main communication module is turned on.

In the embodiment of the present application, the relationship between the first state and the second state may specifically be as follows:

the first state is: the extremely low power consumption communication module is started, the state of the main communication module is closed, and the second state is as follows: opening the state of the main communication module; or (b)

For example: the very low power consumption communication module supports at least one of a module for backscatter communication, a low power consumption reception model (e.g., a low power consumption wake-up receiver).

In addition, the excitation source signal of the backscatter communication may be generated by other devices, such as a network side device, other terminal, or a third party device. Or the excitation source signal of the above backscatter communication is generated by the terminal. This may further save power consumption of the terminal due to the back-scattered communication of the excitation source signal by other devices, which may make the terminal communication more flexible.
