Method and apparatus for handling bursty network entry and re-entry in machine to machine networks

摘要

A method and apparatus may be used for handling bursty network entry and re-entry in M2M networks. For example, a base station (BS) may receive a trigger from at least one device associated with the BS. The at least one device may be a wireless transmit/receive 5 unit (WTRU), or it may be a network device. The BS may determine whether a widespread exception is imminent based on the trigger. If a widespread exception is imminent, the BS may transmit an indication to the at least one device. The indication may indicate to the at least one device that the BS has received a widespread exception report. The WTRU may receive the indication, and terminate a network entry procedure in 10 response to the indication. The WTRU may enter a power saving mode in response to the indication.
