A machine-to-machine (M2M) terminal (11) is configured in such a way that when it receives a first notification from a base station (13) and establishes a radio connection with the base station (13) after receipt of the first notification, or while a procedure is being performed to establish a bearer between the M2M terminal (11) and a core network (14) after receipt of the first notification, the M2M terminal (11) transmits a second notification to the base station (13). Here, the first notification indicates whether or not a certain coverage improvement process is supported in a cell (130) of the base station (13) within which cell (130) the M2M terminal (11) is located. The second notification indicates that said certain coverage improvement process is required by or is being implemented by the M2M terminal (11). A modification can thus be provided to make it possible for the M2M terminal to determine whether a particular coverage improvement process for the M2M terminal is required. |
