Content for TS 23.369 Word version: 19.1.0
1 Scope p. 7
The present document specifies architectural enhancements to the 5G system to support Ambient power-enabled Internet of Things, complying to the requirements in TS 22.369 applicable to the AIoT Device types, traffic types, use cases and connectivity topologies defined in TS 38.300.
In this Release, the AIoT system is defined as an isolated private network, such as SNPN, that does not interact with a public network.
2 References p. 7
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
- For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

3 Definitions of terms and abbreviations p. 7
3.1 Terms p. 7
For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in TR 21.905 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905.
AIoT Device:
An Ambient IoT device is an IoT device powered by energy harvesting, with limited energy storage capability.
AIoT Area:
An area in which NG-RAN can perform Ambient IoT operations, see TS 38.300, represented by an AIoT Area identifier. There can be multiple NG-RAN nodes and multiple RAN Readers in a single AIoT Area. NG-RAN nodes and RAN Readers can be part of multiple AIoT Areas.
External Area Identifier:
An identifier for an AIoT service area used by the AF when requesting AIoT Service Operations.
External Target Area:
An area used between the NEF and AF in AIoT service operations, identified by a pre-configured External Area Identifier or geographic location (e.g. a civic address or GAD shapes, see TS 23.032).
Target Area:
An area in which a service operation request towards an AIOTF is intended to operate, identified by a list of AIoT Areas.
