1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed at a machine-type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) node, cause the MTC-IWF node to:
identify a device trigger request comprising a request of a services capability server (SCS) for a device trigger to be sent to user equipment (UE), the MTC-IWF node to terminate a Tsp interface between the MTC-IWF node and the SCS; apply an MTC-IWF load control mechanism in response to the device trigger request; determine whether to accept the device trigger request; and send a message to report whether the device trigger has been accepted.
