The method further includes receiving a device trigger register including wait time information transmitted from an application server, and then setting the received wait time in the packet filter, and buffering during the wait time upon reception of the downlink data packet from the application server, and then determining a downlink data notification transmission upon expiration of the wait time.

Abstract: Provided is a method of sending and receiving signals for a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system. The method may include: receiving a service reject message from a Mobility Management Entity (MME) under congestion; sending a message containing at least one piece of information determined based on the service reject message to a Mobile Switching Center (MSC); receiving a message containing camping cell information from a base station (eNB); and camping on a cell indicated by the camping cell information. In one embodiment, when an MM back-off timer is applied to the UE utilizing CSFB (or SMS over SGs) at the time of network congestion, the MSC or 2G/3G RAN node is notified that the MM back-off timer is running in the UE, so that the UE may camp not on an LTE cell but on a 2G/3G cell after CS service reception. Hence, it is possible to prevent call drops for MT services that may be caused by UE location registration failure due to the MM back-off timer.
