  • the semi-passive zero-power terminal has the potential to significantly extend the communication distance. This is because the semi-passive zero-power terminal can use the energy harvesting module to collect radio waves, so it can continuously obtain radio energy and store it in the energy storage unit.

Therefore, at this time, the semi-passive zero-power terminal is equivalent to an active terminal, and its downlink coverage depends on the receiver sensitivity of the downlink signal (usually far below the RF energy harvesting threshold).

一、零功耗通信
近年来，零功耗终端的应用越来越广泛。一种典型的零功耗终端是射频识别(Radio Frequency Identification，RFID)，它是利用无线射频信号空间耦合的方式，实现无接触的标签信息自动传输与识别的技术。RFID标签又称为“射频标签”或“电子标签”。根据供电方式的不同来划分的电子标签的类型，可以包括有源电子标签，无源电子标签和半无源电子标签。有源电子标签，又称为主动式 电子标签，是指电子标签工作的能量由电池提供，电池、内存与天线一起构成有源电子标签，不同于被动射频的激活方式，在电池更换前一直通过设定频段发送信息。无源电子标签，又称为被动式电子标签，其不支持内装电池，无源电子标签接近读写器时，标签处于读写器天线辐射形成的近场范围内电子标签天线通过电磁感应产生感应电流，感应电流驱动电子标签芯片电路。芯片电路通过电子标签天线将存储在标签中的标识信息发送给读写器。半主动式电子标签继承了无源电子标签体积小、重量轻、价格低、使用寿命长的优点，内置的电池在没有读写器访问的时候，只为芯片内很少的电路提供电源，只有在读写器访问时，内置电池向RFID芯片供电，以增加标签的读写距离较远，提高通信的可靠性。
最基本的RFID***是由电子标签(TAG)和读写器(Reader/Writer)两部分构成。其中，电子标签由耦合组件及芯片构成，每个电子标签都有独特的电子编码，放在被测目标上以达到标记目标物体的目的。读写器不仅能够读取电子标签上的信息，而且还能够写入电子标签上的信息，同时为电子标签提供通信所需要的能量。电子标签进入电磁场后，接收读写器发出的射频信号，无源电子标签或者被动电子标签利用空间中产生的电磁场得到的能量，将电子标签存储的信息传送出去，读写器读取信息并且进行解码，从而识别电子标签。
基于零功耗终端的通信简称零功耗通信。
如图2所示，一种典型的零功耗通信***(例如RFID***)包括网络设备(如RFID***的读写器)和零功耗终端(例如如电子标签)。网络设备用于向零功耗终端发送无线供能信号，下行通信信号以及接收零功耗终端的反向散射信号。可选地，零功耗终端包括能量采集模块，反向散射通信模块以及低功耗计算模块。此外，零功耗终端还可具备一个存储器或传感器，用于存储一些基本信息(如物品标识等)或环境温度、环境湿度等传感数据。
例如，能量采集模块可以采集空间中的无线电波携带的能量(图2中所示为网络设备发射的无线电波)，用于驱动零功耗终端的低功耗计算模块和实现反向散射通信。零功耗终端获得能量后，可以接收网络设备的控制命令并基于控制信令基于反向散射的方式向网络设备发送数据。所发送的数据可以为零功耗终端自身存储的数据(如身份标识或预先写入的信息，如商品的生产日期、品牌、生产厂家等)。零功耗终端也可以加载各类传感器，从而基于零功耗机制将各类传感器采集的数据上报。
以下，对零功耗通信中的关键技术进行说明。
1、射频能量采集(RF Power Harvesting)
如图3所示，射频能量采集模块基于电磁感应原理实现对空间电磁波能量的采集，进而获得驱动零功耗终端工作所需的能量，例如用于驱动低功耗解调以及调制模块、传感器以及内存读取等。因此，零功耗终端无需传统电池。
2、反向散射通信(Back Scattering)
如图4所示，零功耗终端接收网络设备发送的载波信号，并对所述载波信号进行调制，加载需要发送的信息并将调制后的信号从天线辐射出去，这一信息传输过程称之为反向散射通信。反向散射和负载调制功能密不可分。负载调制通过对零功耗终端的振荡回路的电路参数按照数据流的节拍进行调节和控制，使零功耗终端阻抗的大小等参数随之改变，从而完成调制的过程。负载调制技术主要包括电阻负载调制和电容负载调制两种方式。在电阻负载调制中，负载并联一个电阻，该电阻基于二进制数据流的控制接通或断开，如图5所示。电阻的通断会导致电路电压的变化，因此实现幅度键控调制(ASK)，即通过调整零功耗终端的反向散射信号的幅度大小实现信号的调制与传输。类似地，在电容负载调制中，通过电容的通断可以实现电路谐振频率的变化，实现频率键控调制(FSK)，即通过调整零功耗终端的反向散射信号的工作频率实现信号的调制与传输。
可见，零功耗终端借助于负载调制的方式，对来波信号进行信息调制，从而实现反向散射通信过程。因此，零功耗终端具有显著的优点：
(1)不主动发射信号，因此不需要复杂的射频链路，如PA、射频滤波器等；
(2)不需要主动产生高频信号，因此不需要高频晶振；
(3)借助反向散射通信，终端信号传输不需要消耗终端自身能量。
3、编码技术
零功耗终端传输的数据，可以用不同形式的代码来表示二进制的“1”和“0”。无线射频识别***通常使用下列编码方法中的一种：反向不归零(NRZ)编码、曼彻斯特(Manchester)编码、单极性归零编码、差动双相(DBP)编码、差动编码、脉冲间隔编码(PIE)、双向空间编码(FM0)、米勒(Miller)编码利差动编码等。通俗来说，不同的编码技术是采用不同的脉冲信号表示0和1。
在一些场景中，基于零功耗终端的能量来源以及使用方式，可以将零功耗终端分为如下类型：
1、无源零功耗终端
零功耗终端(如RFID***的电子标签)不需要内装电池，零功耗终端接近网络设备(如RFID***的读写器)时，零功耗终端处于网络设备天线辐射形成的近场范围内。因此，零功耗终端天线通过电磁感应产生感应电流，感应电流驱动零功耗终端的低功耗芯片电路。实现对前向链路信号的解调，以及反向链路(或称反射链路)的信号调制等工作。对于反向散射链路，零功耗终端使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。
可以看出，无源零功耗终端无论是前向链路还是反向链路都不需要内置电池来驱动，是一种真正意义的零功耗终端。
无源零功耗终端不需要电池，射频电路以及基带电路都非常简单，例如不需要低噪放(LNA)，功放(PA)，晶振，模数转换器(Analog-to-Digital Converter，ADC)等器件，因此具有体积小、重量轻、价格非常便宜、使用寿命长等诸多优点。
2、半无源零功耗终端
半无源零功耗终端自身也不安装常规电池，但可使用RF能量采集模块采集无线电波能量，同时将采集的能量存储于一个储能单元(如电容)中。储能单元获得能量后，可以驱动零功耗终端的低功耗芯片电路。实现对前向链路信号的解调，以及反向链路的信号调制等工作。对于反向散射链路，零功耗终端使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。
可以看出，半无源零功耗终端无论是前向链路还是反向链路都不需要内置电池来驱动，虽然工作中使用了电容储存的能量，但能量来源于能量采集模块采集的无线电能量，因此也是一种真正意义的零功耗终端。
半无源零功耗终端继承了无源零功耗终端的诸多优点，因此具有体积小、重量轻、价格非常便宜、使用寿命长等诸多优点。
3、有源零功耗终端
有些场景下使用的零功耗终端也可以为有源零功耗终端，此类设备可以内置电池。电池用于驱动零功耗终端的低功耗芯片电路。实现对前向链路信号的解调，以及反向链路的信号调制等工作。但对于反向散射链路，零功耗终端使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。因此，这类设备的零功耗主要体现于反向链路的信号传输不需要终端自身功率，而是使用反向散射的方式。
二、蜂窝无源物联网
随着5G行业应用的增加，连接物的种类和应用场景越来越多，对通信终端的成本和功耗也将有更高要求，免电池、低成本的无源物联网设备的应用成为蜂窝物联网的关键技术，充实5G网络链接终端类型和数量，真正实现万物互联。其中无源物联网设备可以基于零功耗通信技术，如RFID技术，并在此基础上进行延伸，以适用于蜂窝物联网。
为便于理解本申请实施例，对零功耗通信相关的供能信号、调度信号和载波信号进行说明。
1、供能信号
供能信号为零功耗终端进行能量采集的一种能量来源。
从频段上，用作供能的无线电波的频段可以是低频、中频、高频等。
从波形上，用作供能的无线电波可以是正弦波、方波、三角波、脉冲、矩形波等。
此外，供能信号可以是连续波，也可以是非连续波(即允许一定的时间中断)。
可选地，供能信号可以是3GPP标准中的已有信号。例如探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，SRS)，物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，PUSCH)、物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel，PRACH)、物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel，PUCCH)、物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)、物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)、物理广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel，PBCH)等，或者也可以是WIFI信号或蓝牙信号。
可选地，供能信号也可以通过新定义信号实现，例如新定义专用于供能的信号。
2、触发信号或称调度信号
触发信号用于触发或调度零功耗终端进行数据传输。
从频段上，用作触发或调度的无线电波可以是低频、中频、高频等。
从波形上，用作触发或调度的无线电波可以是正弦波、方波、三角波、脉冲、矩形波等。
此外，该触发信号可以是连续波，也可以是非连续波(即允许一定的时间中断)。
可选地，触发信号可能是3GPP标准中的已有信号。例如SRS，PUSCH、PRACH、PUCCH、PDCCH、PDSCH、PBCH，或者WIFI信号或蓝牙信号等。
可选地，触发信号也可以通过新定义信号实现，例如新定义专用于触发或调度的信号。
3、载波信号
载波信号用于零功耗终端产生反向散射信号，例如，零功耗终端可以根据需要发送的信息对接收到的载波信号进行调制以形成反向散射信号。
从频段上，用作载波信号的无线电波可以是低频、中频、高频等。
从波形上，用作载波信号的无线电波可以是正弦波、方波、三角波、脉冲、矩形波等。
此外，该载波信号可以是连续波，也可以是非连续波(即允许一定的时间中断)。
可选地，载波信号可能是3GPP标准中的已有信号。例如SRS，PUSCH、PRACH、PUCCH、PDCCH、PDSCH、PBCH，或者，WIFI信号、蓝牙信号、zigbee信号等。
可选地，载波信号也可以通过新定义信号实现，例如新定义专用产生反向散射信号的载波信号。
需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中，供能信号，调度信号和载波信号可以是同一信号，或者，也可以是不同的信号，例如，供能信号可以作为载波信号，调度信号也可以用作载波信号等。
在实际网络部署中，无源零功耗通信技术面临的一个技术瓶颈是前向链路的覆盖距离受限，主要原因在于前向链路的通信距离受限于到达零功耗终端处的无线信号的信号强度，基于现有的实现工艺，一般零功耗终端需要消耗10uw(微瓦)的功率以驱动低功耗电路。这意味着到达零功耗终端的信号功率至少需要为-20dBm。受限于无线电监管的要求，网络设备的发射功率一般不能太大，例如在RFID工作的ISM频段，最大发射功率为30dBm。因此，考虑到空间的无线电传播损耗，无源零功耗终端的传输距离一般在10m至几十米的范围。
而半无源零功耗终端具有显著扩展通信距离的潜力，这是由于，半无源零功耗终端可以使用能量采集模块收集无线电波，因此可以源源不断获取无线电能量并储存于储能单元中。储能单元获得足够的能量后，可以驱动低功耗电路工作用于前向链路的信号解调以及反向链路的信号调制等操作。因此，此时，半无源零功耗终端就等效于一个有源终端，其下行的覆盖取决于下行信号的接收机灵敏度(通常远低于RF能量采集门限)。基于目前的工艺，能量采集模块可以在接收的无线电信号强度不低于-30dBm时可以进行能量采集并将电能输入到储能单元。因此，半无源零功耗终端的前向链路的覆盖取决于能量采集门限(如-30dBm)，相对无源零功耗终端，接收的无线电信号强度从-20dBm放松到-30dBm,因此可以获得10dB的链路预算增益，因此可以提升多于3倍的下行覆盖。
然而，在提升前向链路覆盖的同时，半无源零功耗终端也面临充电效率下降的问题。随着接收信号强度的下降，能量采集模块可采集并储存的能量大幅降低。如，在接收信号强度为-30dBm时，也即1微瓦时，可采集并存储的能量远不及1微瓦(能量采集效率大幅下降)。另一方面，如前所述，零功耗终端的低功耗电路可能需要消耗10uw的平均功率。
对于反向链路来说，由于网络设备具有较高的接收机灵敏度，可以达到-95dBm，其覆盖范围较前向链路要大得多。对于无源零功耗终端和半无源零功耗终端，如果其工作所需的能量来源于收集无线信号的能量，那么其前向链路的覆盖将受限于无线信号到达零功耗终端的功率水平，而不是零功耗终端的接收机灵敏度，这将造成前向链路的有效覆盖比较低。同时也造成了前向链路覆盖和反向链路覆盖的不平衡。
在一些场景中，对于依赖于无线信号供能的零功耗终端，为了提高前向链路的覆盖，一种实现方法是部署专门的供能节点，使前向链路不再受限于无线信号供能的距离。如图6所示，网络设备的覆盖范围内部署了多个供能节点，零功耗终端可以通过附近的供能节点发送的无线信号供能，从而接收前向链路承载的信息，提高了前向链路的覆盖。
但是供能节点的部署成本比较高，需要进行布线、供电和安装，并进行后期的维护。并且，这种供能方法也不节能，供能效率较低。因此，如何对零功耗终端进行供能以降低供能开销是一项亟需解决的问题。

例如，第一类终端的能量来源多于第二类终端，或者，第一类终端的能量收集能量高于第二类终端。作为示例，第一类终端可以基于环境能量和无线电信号进行能量采集，第二类终端基于无线电信号进行能量采集。
又例如，第一类终端具有信号放大器，第二类终端不具有信号放大器。
再例如，第一类终端具有反向散射通信模块和主动发射通信模块，第二类终端具有反向散射通信模块，其中，反向散射通信模块用于通过反向散射方式进行信号的发送，主动发射通信模块用于采用主动发射方式进行数据传输。

在一些实施例中，第一终端用于扩展供能信号的覆盖范围，例如将第一信号的覆盖范围扩展到第一信号和第二信号的覆盖范围。例如，第一终端可以具有较强的能量收集能力，在尺寸上的要求可以放松。例如，第一终端可以具有大面积的光能采集模块，具备双频天线，具备更多天线单元的天线阵列等。其中，例如，双频天线可以在两个频段进行能量收集，可以在无线信号较丰富的频段上进行能量收集，如GSM、3G频段，WiFi和蓝牙频段，数字电视广播频段等。天线阵列可以产生较高的天线增益，提高接收到的无线信号的功率。基于太阳能的能量收集可以具有更到的功率转换效率。可选地，第一终端还可以是由电池供电的，或者是电源供电的设备。
在一些实施例中，网络设备可以在第一终端发送第二信号期间，通过前向链路向第二终端发送信息。
应理解，本申请实施例并不限定第一终端的能量采集方式。例如可以基于第一信号进行能量采集，或者，也可以不依赖于无线信号，例如可以通过光能、热能等环境能量进行能量采集。
在一些实施例中，第二信号是经放大处理的信号。第一终端通过发送经放大处理的信号给第二终端供能，有利于提升发送的第二信号的传输距离，以及提升第二信号到达第二终端的功率水平，从而提升前向链路的覆盖。
在一些实施例中，第二信号是对第一信号进行放大处理后发送的。
例如，第一终端可以通过LNA对接收到的第一信号进行放大处理，利用经放大处理的第一信号发送第二信号。
可选地，第一终端的LNA的放大系数可以是固定的，或者，也可以是灵活调整的，以满足不同要求的覆盖范围。
在一些实施例中，第二信号是通过反向散射方式发送的。
例如，第二信号是所述第一终端对第一信号进行放大和反向散射处理发送的。
也就是说，第二信号是将第一信号作为入射信号经过放大处理后的反向散射信号。
在一个具体实施例中，第二信号是第一终端可以通过反向散射方式对第一信号经过LNA放大后发送的。
在一些实施例中，第二信号是通过主动发射方式发送的。
此情况下，第一信号可以为第二信号的供能信号和/或第二信号的控制信号(或者说，调度信号)。即，第一信号可以用于给第二信号的发送供能，或者，也可以用于控制(或者说调度)第二信号的发送。可选地，第一终端也可以对第二信号的控制信号进行能量采集以给第二信号的发送储能。
在一些实施例中，S210可以包括：
第一终端基于第一信号进行能量采集，基于采集的能量主动发送第二信号。
例如，第一终端可以基于第一信号进行能量采集，当储存够足够的能量后，主动发送第二信号。
在一些实施例中，S210可以包括：
第一终端基于第一信号的控制，主动发送第二信号。
例如，第一终端可以在接收到第一信号之后，主动发送第二信号。此情况下，第一终端的能量来源可以是第一信号，或者，也可以是环境能量，例如太阳能，热能，机械能等。
在本申请一些实施例中，第一信号是网络设备发送的。当网络设备通过第一信号直接给第二终端供能时，供能信号的覆盖距离受限于第一信号的强度。在本申请实施例中，通过部署第一类终端，网络设备可以通过第一类终端基于第一信号发送第二信号，通过第二信号给第二类终端供能，从而能够扩展供能信号的的覆盖范围，这样，网络设备可以通过一个或多个第一类终端为更远距离的第二类终端供能，使得供能信号到达第二类终端的功率水平满足第二类终端的工作要求。
在一些实施例中，可以根据供能信号的强度、供能信号的衰减情况、第二终端工作所需的最小功率(例如驱动低功耗电路需要消耗的功率)等因素进行第一类终端的部署。
例如，若驱动第二类终端的低功耗电路工作需要消耗10毫瓦，这就意味着到达第二类终端的信号功率最少需要-20dBm，则可以在第一信号的接收功率衰减到-20dB之前的路径上部署第一类终端，从而第一类终端可以基于第一信号发送经放大处理的第二信号，从而能够进一步扩展供能信号的覆盖距离。
结合图8举例说明，在图8的示例中，第一类终端采用反向散射方式发送第二信号，假设驱动第二类终端的低功耗电路工作需要消耗10毫瓦，网络设备的最大发射功率为27dBm，其发送的第一信号随着传输距离的增加而衰减，当功率水平衰减到-20dBm时，经过第一类终端放大并反向散射，第一类终端具有的LNA的放大能力是30dB，反向散射会比入射信号有5dB的损失。因此，经过第一类终端采用反向散射方式发送的第二信号可以相比第一信号的功率有25dB的增益。即第一信号达到-20dB时，经过第一类终端反向散射后，形成功率为5dBm的第二信号。该第二信号可以扩展的覆盖范围为其衰减到-20dBm的距离，此时第一信号将衰减到-45dBm。假设-45dBm为第二类终端的接收机灵敏度，则可以满足前向链路的通信覆盖，第二类终端可以通过第二信号的供能，解调网络设备发送的前向链路信号。可选地，如图8所示，第一类终端可以部署在第一信号的接收功率大于-20dBm的地方，距离网络设备较近的第二类终端(例如终端1、终端2、终端3)可以直接通过网络设备发送的第一信号供能。如果通过第一信号给距离较远的第二类终端(例如终端4)供能，则第一信号到达终端4的功率为-45dBm无法驱动该终端4工作，而通过第一类终端放大的供能信号对终端4进行供能，该供能信号到达终端4的功率为-20dBm，可以驱动终端4工作。
在本申请一些实施例中，还可以通过多级放大的方式(或者说，接力的方式)扩展供能信号的覆盖范围。也就是说，网络设备可以通过一个第一类终端，或者，多个第一类终端给第二类终端供能。
例如，网络设备是第一级供能设备，第一终端可以是网络设备的下一级供能设备，即第二级供能设备，第一终端可以对网络设备发送的供能信号进行放大处理发送下一级供能信号，第一终端发送的供能信号可以直接给第二终端供能，或者，还可以部署更多级供能设备，用于给更远距离的第二终端供能。
在本申请一些实施例中，第一信号可以是第三终端发送的。
例如，第三终端是多级供能设备中的其中一级供能设备，第一终端是第三终端的下一级供能设备，第一终端可以对第三终端发送的供能信号进行放大处理发送下一级供能信号。
在一些实施例中，可以在网络设备的前向链路的覆盖范围内部署多级第一类终端，用来扩展供能信号的覆盖，从而保证供能信号的覆盖与前向链路的覆盖相匹配。
以一级第一类终端可以产生25dB的增益为例，在理想情况下，两级第一类终端通过接力的方式可以产生50dB的增益。如图9所示，第一级第一类终端的入射的第一供能信号功率为-20dBm，经过第一级第一类终端的放大，产生功率为5dBm的第二供能信号。第二级第一类终端的入射的第二供能信号功率为-20dBm，经过第二级第一类终端的放大，产生功率为5dBm的第三供能信号。第三供能信号可能最远覆盖到第三供能信号衰减到-20dBm处，此处第一供能信号衰减到-70dBm。因此，通过两级第一类终端的放大，可以进一步扩展前向链路的覆盖，可以满足接收机灵敏度为-70dBm的覆盖范围。
在一些实施例中，所述第二信号的频率和所述第一信号的频率相同。
在另一些实施例中，所述第二信号的频率和所述第一信号的频率具有第一频率偏移。
例如，第一终端除了对入射的第一信号进行信号放大之外，还可以对入射的第一信号进行一定的频率偏移，从而能够根据需求产生不同频率的供能信号。
在一些实施例中，所述第二信号的发送具有一定的空间特性或空间关系。例如，第二信号是基于第一空间信息发送的。可选地，该第一空间信息可以包括但不限于方向信息、波束信息、空域发送滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)。可选地，第一终端基于一定的空间特性发送第二信号，能够使得第二信号的功率集中在一定的空间方向上，增强第二信号在该空间方向上的覆盖。如图10所示，第一终端发送的供能信号可以集中在一定的空间方向上，覆盖特定的空间方向上的第二终端。
在一些实施例中，第一终端的发送天线可以被设计为在一定的空间方向上具有较强的增益，这样，从而使得第一终端发送的第二信号的发射功率可以集中在一定的空间方向上。可选地，第一终端的发送天线可以通过天线阵列实现。
在一些实施例中，第二信号的空间属性可以是根据需求设置的，例如在需要对第一空间范围内的第二终端供能时，基于第一空间信息发送第二信号，在需要对第二空间范围内的第二终端供能时，基于第二空间信息发送第二信号。
在一些实施例中，第一信号是周期性发送的。
在一些实施例中，第二信号是周期性发送的。
可选地，第二信号的发送周期可以是网络设备配置的，或预定义的。
可选地，第二信号可以是按照一定的图样(pattern)发送的，可选地，该图样可以是网络设备配置的的，或者，预定义的。
在一些实施例中，第二信号可以为基本的供能信号，或者，主动发送的供能信号。该供能信号用于保证第二终端基本的供能需求。
在一些实施例中，第二信号是基于触发(或者说，控制，调度)发送的。
在本申请一些实施例中，所述方法200还包括：

可选地，当第一信号用于控制第一终端发送第二信号时，第一信息可以承载在所述第一信号中。

可选地，在网络设备需要和第二终端通信时，网络设备可以控制第一终端发送第二信号。
例如，在网络设备需要和第二终端通信时，网络设备可以向第一终端发送第一信息。
在一些实施例中，由于第一终端需要进行能量采集来发送供能信号，例如，第一终端可以基于一段时间收集的能量，进行一定时间的供能信号的发送。因此，第一终端的供能时长受限于第一终端的能量采集效率、储能状态。
在本申请一些实施例中，所述方法200还包括：
所述第一终端向网络设备发送第二信息，所述第二信息用于指示所述第一终端发送所述第二信号的能力信息，或者，第一终端支持的第二信号的发送参数。

也就是说，第二信号可以用于保证第二终端对于第一请求信息的发送。
可选地，网络设备或第一终端接收到该第一请求信息之后，可以根据第一请求信息给第二终端提供额外的供能信号，从而保证第二终端的后续的数据传输。
在一些实施例中，第一请求信息是第二终端在特定条件(例如存在瞬时的供能需求等)下发送的。例如在有数据待传输时，第二信号不足以满足第二终端的供能需求，第二终端可以通过第一请求信息请求额外的供能信号。
在一些实施例中，所述第一请求信息包括以下中的至少一项：
请求发送的供能信号的时间长度、请求发送的供能信号的发送周期、请求发送的供能信号的强度、请求发送的供能信号的空间信息、所述第二终端的能量采集能力、所述第二终端待传输的业务类型、所述第二终端待传输的业务的持续时间、所述第二终端待传输的业务的数据量、第一指示信息，其中，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述第二终端请求所述第一终端发送供能信号或者用于指示所述第二终端有数据待传输。

可选地，第一请求信息可以是采用反向散射方式发送的。

又例如，第一终端在接收到第一请求信息的情况下，可以基于网络设备或第三设备的第三信号发送第四信号。
在一些实施例中，第四信号可以认为是额外的供能信号，或者，被动发送的供能信号(例如基于请求的供能信号)，或者，按需发送的供能信号。该第四信号可以用于保证第二终端瞬时的供能需求，或者，急需的供能需求等。
在一些实施例中，第四信号可以是基于一定的空间信息发送的。
在一些实施例中，所述第二信号的发送周期大于所述第四信号的发送周期。也就是说，额外供能信号的发送相对于基本供能信号的发送更加频繁，有利于保证第二终端获得足够的用于数据传输的能量。
在一些实施例中，所述第二信号的持续时间小于所述第四信号的持续时间。也就是说，额外供能信号的发送时间相对于基本供能信号的发送时间更长，有利于保证第二终端获得足够的用于数据传输的能量。

在一些实施例中，第四信号是周期性发送的。
