摘要

Embodiments of methods and apparatus to manage MTC device trigger load in a wireless network are described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media with executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a machine type communications interworking function (MTC-IWF) to:
initiate load control of signals received by the MTC-IWF to avoid signaling overload; receive a device trigger request message comprising a priority parameter from a Services Capability Server (SCS), the device trigger request message to trigger a user equipment (UE) to initiate communication with the SCS; identify the priority parameter in the device trigger request message; transmit a subscriber information request; receive a subscriber information response; determine whether the SCS is authorized to trigger the UE; and transmit a device trigger report to the SCS.
