MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATION MONITORING FRAMEWORK FOR 3GPP SYSTEMS

摘要

A 3GPP monitoring architecture framework provides monitoring event configuration, detection, and reporting for machine-type and other mobile data applications by configuring monitoring on a mobility management entity (MME), a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN), or a home subscriber service (HSS) node through existing interfaces, such as Tsp, T4, and T5 interfaces.

主权项

1. A network element comprising a mobility management entity (MME) or a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN) for monitoring events associated with a user equipment (UE) configured to provide machine type communications (MTC) in a cellular network, the network element comprising:
a memory device; a processor operatively coupled to the memory device and configured to:
receive a monitoring request message to configure a monitoring event on the network element, the monitoring request message indicates a monitoring type and originates from a services capability server (SCS) or an application server (AS) configured to receive the MTC communications;examine the monitoring request message to enable the monitoring event based on the monitoring type; andprovide a monitoring response message to acknowledge the monitoring request message.
