TECHNIQUES FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INTERWORKING FUNCTION AND SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NODES FOR DEVICE TRIGGER REPLACEMENT/RECALL

摘要

Techniques to support device trigger replacement and/or recall are described. In one embodiment, for example, a machine-type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) node may comprise logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive a trigger adjustment request comprising a stored trigger identifier (ID), the trigger adjustment request constituting a request to adjust a stored device trigger associated with the stored trigger ID, select a trigger adjustment procedure for the stored device trigger based on the trigger adjustment request, and send a first T4 interface command over a T4 interface connection to initiate the selected trigger adjustment procedure. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. A machine-type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) node, comprising:
logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive a Device-Action-Request Diameter command comprising a device trigger replacement request, the Device-Action-Request Diameter command to contain a reference number for a device trigger to be replaced, the logic to transfer the device trigger replacement request by sending a Device-Trigger-Request Diameter command over a T4 interface, the Device-Trigger-Request Diameter command to comprise an Old-Reference-Number attribute-value pair (AVP) containing the reference number for the device trigger.
