Communication method of MTC devices and related apparatus

摘要

A communication method of MTC devices in the field of communication technologies, including: grouping, by a network side, first MTC devices according to time when the first MTC devices access a network, where the grouping is so performed that MTC devices accessing the network at same time are grouped into different groups, and MTC devices accessing the network at different time are grouped into a same group; and sending, after the first MTC devices access the network, group information to the first MTC devices, so that the first MTC devices receive and/or send data according to the group information. Embodiments of the present invention further provide a related communication apparatus of MTC devices. Embodiments of the present invention realize scattering time for MTC devices to access a network for sending data, thereby avoiding collisions and effectively easing the burden resulted from MTC devices accessing the network concurrently.

1. A communication method of Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices comprising:
grouping, by a network side, first MTC devices according to time when the first MTC devices access a network, to enable the first MTC devices accessing the network at same time to be grouped into different groups, and the first MTC devices accessing the network at different time to be grouped into a same group; and sending, after the first MTC devices access the network, group information to the first MTC devices, so that the first MTC devices perform at least one of receiving and sending data according to the group information; wherein the time when the first MTC devices access the network comprises one of:
a time when the first MTC devices access the network, which is determined according to a group parameter, wherein the group parameter comprises one of:
a data transmission period of the first MTC devices and time duration in unit for uploading data at every turn;a ratio between the data transmission period of the first MTC devices and time duration in unit for uploading data at every turn; orthe allowable transmission number for uploading data within a data transmission period configured by the network side for first MTC devices in a same group, wherein the determining of the time for the first MTC devices to access the network according to the group parameter comprises:
obtaining the ratio between the data transmission period of the first MTC devices and the time duration in unit for uploading data at every turn, or obtaining the allowable transmission number for the first MTC devices to upload data within a data transmission period of the first MTC devices;computing a modulus of the ratio or the allowable transmission number by using a relevant identifier of the first MTC device and obtaining a modulo result; anddetermining that the first MTC devices having a same modulo result access the network at the same time.
