The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a method for performing inventory of Ambient Internet of Things (AIoT) devices where an AIoT function (AIoTF) can receive an inventory request from an Application Function (AF) and then determine the relevant Radio Access Network (RAN) nodes based on information in the inventory request, forward the inventory request to the RAN nodes, then receive the inventory response. The inventory request message can specify whether AIoT devices that have already been inventoried within a predefined time period should respond. The inventory request can also include instructions for the AIoTF to aggregate the inventory responses before reporting them back to the AF via a Network Exposure Function (NEF) in order to minimize signaling in the network.
