Abstract  Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for triggering and synchronizing a machine type communication (MTC) device.

SOLUTION: An MTC device can operate in a time controlled mode where the MTC device attaches to a network at specified intervals to report to a network. The time controlled mode may include two time controlled cycles namely a reporting cycle and a control cycle. The method is also described for communicating the reporting and control cycles between the MTC device and the network or MTC server. These cycles can be communicated on an application layer by the MTC server using an MTCsp interface or via MTC configuration. In addition triggering cycles can be sent via a Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) layer by extending Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycles or by allowing a network to send the cycles over a broadcast channel by defining new System Information Block (SIB) information.
