An M2M device acquires an M2M group identification (MGID) and an M2M zone identification. The M2M device checks whether or not the M2M device has escaped from the M2M group zone. If the M2M device has escaped from the M2M group zone, the M2M device transmits, to a base station, an update request message which requests that the M2M group identifier be updated. The M2M device receives, from the base station, a response message as a response to the update request message. | 2014-08-21 |
20140233515 | METHOD OF RESOURCE SCHEDULING USED FOR MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATIONS - The invention relates to a method of implementing resource scheduling for MTC devices, the base station assigns multiple machine type communication (MTC) devices to a group, and allocates to each device a sequence number of the group respectively, informs each corresponding device of the sequence number of the device, allocates a resource set for the group, and transmits indication information, indicating the resource set, to each device via broadcast signaling, wherein, the sequence number is used to indicate the resource, in the resource set, used by the device. A MTC device determines the resource, in the resource set, used by the device based on the sequence number. The embodiment of the invention can save the overhead of MTC resource scheduling. | 2014-08-21 |
20140233516 | METHOD OF TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING SIGNAL TO AND FROM NETWORK AT UE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR THE SAME - Disclosed herein is a method of, at a user equipment (UE), transmitting and receiving a signal to and from a network in a wireless communication system. The method includes logging information about failure of a first connection establishment procedure if the first connection establishment procedure with the network has failed, and transmitting the logged information to the network when a second connection establishment procedure with the network is successful. | 2014-08-21 |
