| 摘要 |
A machine type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) is configured to receive from a service capability exposure function (SCEF), services capability server (SCS), or a third-party application server (AS), application communication pattern information defined by an MTC application and representing characteristics of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications expected from a user equipment (UE) machine type communication (MTC) device. The MTC-IWF being configured to communicate the information to a mobility management entity (MME) that thereby provides core network (CN) originated assistance to an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network node B (eNB). Disclosed are embodiments for providing the information in the form of Diameter-based messages communicated through Tsp, T5, and other interfaces, or through an application programming interface (API) exposed by the SCEF, SCS, or MTC-IWF. |
