A method of proxy operation at a mobile router includes connecting to a plurality of machine-type communication (MTC) devices via a southbound interface of the mobile router that uses a first radio access technology, and connecting to a mobile communication network via a northbound interface of the mobile router that uses a second radio access technology. The method further includes establishing a main communication session between the mobile router and the mobile communication network via the northbound interface, including authenticating the mobile router to the mobile communication network, and operating as a proxy for the plurality of MTC devices. Such operation includes relaying signaling between individual ones of the plurality of MTC devices and the mobile communication network via respective sub-sessions of the main communication session. |
