  • Patent number: 11863425
    Abstract: A network node (21), which is placed within a core network, stores a list of network elements (24) capable of forwarding a trigger message to a MTC device (10). The network node (21) receives the trigger message from a transmission source (30, 40) placed outside the core network, and then selects, based on the list, one of the network elements to forward the trigger message to the MTC device (10). The MTC device (10) validates the received trigger message, and then transmits, when the trigger message is not validated, to the network node (21) a reject message indicating that the trigger message is not accepted by the MTC device (10). Upon receiving the reject message, the network node (21) forwards the trigger message through a different one of the network elements, or forwards the reject message to transmission source (30, 40) to send the trigger message through user plane.

  • Patent number: 11856074
    Abstract: In order for efficiently managing communications between a UE (10) and multiple SCSs (20_1-20_n), the UE (10) includes, in one message, multiple pieces of data to be transmitted to the SCSs (20_1-20_n), and sends the message to an MTC-IWF (30). The MTC-IWF (30) receives the message from the UE (10), and distributes the date to the SCSs (20_1-20_n). Each of the SCSs sends (20_1-20_n), to the MTC-IWF (30), data to be transmitted to the UE (10) and an indicator that indicates for the SCSs (20_1-20 n) the time tolerance until the data is transmitted to the UE (10). The MTC-IWF (30) receives the data and the indicators from the SCSs (20_1-20_n), and determines when to forward the data to the UE (10) based on the indicators.
