Abstract: In one illustrated example, automated or semi-automated system operations for Massive IoT (MIoT) deployment may involve the automatic assignment of external IDs, subscriber IDs (e.g. IMSIs), and mobile network IDs (e.g. MSISDNs) to IoT devices of a group, followed by the provisioning of assigned identities at the relevant network nodes and the IoT devices themselves. The process may continue seamlessly with network slice orchestration for the creation of a network slice instance (NSI) and the provisioning of its associated Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI) and NSI ID at the relevant network nodes. Network Slice Selection Policies (NSSP) may be derived and sent to a policy function and subsequently to IoT devices of the group. Signaling efficiency may be achieved by performing operations on a group basis.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for transmitting an uplink measurement reference signal. The method is applied to a network-side device and includes the following operations: first, receiving, by the network-side device, an uplink measurement reference signal sent by user equipment, where the uplink measurement reference signal carries downlink interference information of a downlink channel of the network-side device; and then, performing downlink interference estimation on the uplink measurement reference signal, to obtain the downlink interference information.
