A mobile device is configured to transmit a request for services message to network infrastructure equipment, and to receive a response message to the request for services message from the network. The request for services message includes a delay period, and the mobile device is configured after transmission of the request for services message to enter a reduced power state in which an amount of power consumed by the transceiver is reduced for the delay period. The network will delay sending the response message until the timer has expired. The mobile device, after the delay period has expired, exits the reduced power state in order to receive the response message from the network. The mobile device may preferably be a Machine Type Communication (MTC) device or similar. |
