Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to transmission mechanisms for devices, such as, ambient IoT devices. In an example method, a first device receives a first transmission from a second device. The first transmission is based on an identifier (ID), and the ID is associated with a plurality of devices in a communication link. Then, the first device determines that the ID related to the first transmission is associated with the first device, and performs a second transmission to a third device. In this way, by introducing the ID, only one ID (i.e., the ID) needs to be stored at the first device which is, for example, an ambient internet of things (AIoT) device, and thus AIoT complexity can be reduced.

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to device proximity determination. In an aspect, a first device transmits, to a second device, a first configuration for transmitting at least one signal emulating at least one transmission from a fourth device. The first device further transmits, to a plurality of third devices, a second configuration for receiving the at least one signal. The first device receives, from at least one third device among the plurality of third devices, at least one measurement report based on the second configuration. The first device determines, based on the at least one measurement report, a device pair comprising the second device and a third device among the plurality of third devices. In this way, a third device (such as, a reader) proximity detection can be implemented without involvement of a fourth device (such as, an A-IoT device), and different proximity ranges can be emulated.
