<p>Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques and configurations for triggering a plurality of wireless devices such as Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices in a wireless communication network. A method may include receiving, by an interworking function (IWF) of a wireless communication network, a trigger from a machine type communication (MTC) server to initiate a communication between the MTC server and a plurality of MTC devices and sending, by the IWF, a triggering indication to the plurality of MTC devices using a radio access network (RAN) over a first reference point to a first module including a cell broadcast center (CBC) or over a second reference point to a second module including a mobility management entity (MME) or a serving general packet radio service (GPRS) support node (SGSN). Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.</p> |
