Systems and methods that send Machine Type Communications (MTC) using Non Access Stratus (NAS) signaling. In one embodiment, a network element receives NAS signaling that includes MTC data from a device. The network element identifies an MTC profile associated with the device that includes parameters defining what MTC data transmissions are allowed for the device through NAS signaling. The network element then determines whether transmission of the MTC data is allowed by the device based on the MTC profile. If the transmission of the MTC data is allowed, then the network element sends the MTC data to another MTC entity, such as another MTC device or an MTC server. If not, then the network element rejects the transmission of the MTC data.
