Abstract: The invention relates to a method for information transmission in a machine-to-machine telecommunications network and a machine-to-machine telecommunications network. The telecommunications network supports information transmission between a server and a plurality of communication terminals. A common group identifier is assigned to a group containing at least some of the plurality of communication terminals. An information message is transmitted to the plurality of communication terminals to which the common group identifier has been assigned. The in-formation message contains the common group identifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and telecommunications node for controlling an attach state of a user equipment in an attach control node of a telecommunications system further comprising a subscriber database containing subscription data of the user equipment. The method comprises receiving authentication data in the attach control node if an authentication step is required. Following the authentication step, if any, receiving in a first transfer stage a first set of subscription data from the subscriber database and storing the first set of subscription data in the attach control node, wherein the first set of subscription data is insufficient for enabling establishing a communication session between the user equipment and the telecommunications system.

Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to a method for handling a service request from a requesting entity in a telecommunications network. A first service request for a particular service is received from the requesting entity. A sequence identifier is assigned to the requesting entity from which the first service request is received. The first service request is rejected by sending a reject message to the requesting entity and the assigned sequence identifier is also communicated to the requesting entity. At some later time, the sequence identifier is transmitted (e.g. broadcasted) in the telecommunications network in order. A second service request for the particular service is then received from the requesting entity and the serving entity now allows the request for the service.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for congestion control in a telecommunications network. The telecommunications network supports one or more active data sessions between a server and at least a first and second communication terminal by providing at least a first and a second bearer for these terminals. The at least first and second communication terminal are assigned to a group for which a common group identifier is or has been stored. Further, a first individual congestion parameter for the first bearer and a second individual congestion parameter for the second bearer of the first and second communication terminal are or have been stored. A group load indicator is defined for the group of terminals corresponding to the common group identifier. The group load indicator is monitored and compared with a group load condition for the group of the at least first and second communication terminals corresponding to the common group identifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a telecommunications network for wirelessly establishing a connection with a terminal located at a location in said network by a server. The terminal is identified by a terminal identifier in the telecommunications network. The telecommunications network contains a first network node and a second network node. The first network node is configured for receiving a data unit for the terminal from the server, that is preferably located outside the telecommunications network. The data unit comprises the terminal identifier. The first network node is being configured for receiving a location identifier indicative of the location of the terminal from the server and for deriving an address of the second network node using the location identifier. The derived address of the second network node is then used for transmitting a first connection request for establishing a connection with the derived second network node.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and network for receiving at least a first access request from a first device and a second access request from a second device. A first message is transmitted from the network to the first device, wherein the first message comprises a first access time or first access time window. Similarly, a second message is transmitted from the network to the second device, wherein the second message comprises a second access time or second access time window. The first access time or first access time window is different from the second access time or second access time window. Subsequent to the first message, the network receives the first access request from the first communication device at or after the first access time or within the first access time window and, subsequent to the second message, the network receives the second access request at or after the second access time or within the second access time window from the second device.
