METHODS AND DEVICES FOR ADJUSTING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES BASED ON MACHINE DEVICE CAPABILITY INFORMATION

摘要

Devices and methods for adjusting resource management procedures in a User Equipment (UE) machine device communicating with one or more nodes in a communication network. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, during a first time period, the number of handovers, N, for the UE from a serving node to a different node. The method further includes comparing the value, N, to a threshold, wherein if the value, N, is greater than the threshold, mobility pattern information for the UE includes an indication of high mobility, and if the value, N, is less than or equal to the threshold, the mobility pattern information includes an indication of low mobility. The method also includes transmitting machine device capability information, including the indicated mobility pattern information, to be used for determining an adjustment to a resource management procedure for the UE.

1. A method for adjusting resource management procedures in a machine device communicating with one or more nodes in a communication network, the method comprising:
detecting, during a first time period, one or more handovers for the machine device from a node serving the machine device to a different node; determining the number of handover events, N, during the first time period; determining mobility pattern information for the machine device by comparing the value, N, to a first predetermined threshold, wherein:
if the value, N, is greater than the first predetermined threshold, the mobility pattern information includes an indication of high mobility for the machine device, andif the value, N, is less than or equal to the first predetermined threshold, the mobility pattern information includes an indication of low mobility for the machine device; and transmitting machine device capability information, including the determined mobility pattern information, to be used for determining an adjustment to a resource management procedure for the machine device.
