摘要

The invention relates to a method for transmitting small and infrequent communication data between, on the one hand, a plurality of internet-of-things communication devices, and, on the other hand, a mobile communication network, the mobile communication network comprising an access network and core network, wherein the access network comprises at least a radio cell and a base station entity associated with the radio cell, the base station entity comprising an antenna equipment, wherein the antenna equipment is used for receiving and/or transmitting the small and infrequent communication data, wherein the internet-of-things communication devices use radiofrequency electromagnetic signals, being received by the antenna equipment of the base station entity, to transmit the small and infrequent communication data at least in the direction from the internet-of-things communication devices towards the base station entity, wherein the payload size of the small and infrequent communication data is lower than 10 kilobytes and/or the small and infrequent communication data have an average bitrate, per time interval of at least 60 minutes, of lower than 10 Bd (10 bit per second), wherein the mobile communication network provides mobile communication services - involving mobile communication data having bitrates of at least 9,6 kBd (9600 bits per second) and using the antenna equipment or a further antenna equipment of the base station entity - to mobile subscribers of the mobile communication network, wherein the air interface between the base station entity and the mobile subscribers comprises a plurality of frequency channels within at least one frequency band to provide the mobile communication services, wherein the method comprises the step of the base station entity transmitting the small and infrequent communication data, at least partly, as part of the payload portion of an IP packet towards a network node of the core network.
