METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EFFICIENTLY TRANSMITTING SMALL AMOUNTS OF DATA IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method by means of which a mobility management entity (MME) determines the communication mode of a terminal in a communication system includes the steps of: receiving, from the terminal, an access request including information on the position of the terminal; transmitting a message to a home subscriber server (HSS) on the basis of the received access request; receiving, from the HSS, specific position information for setting a first mode; comparing the information on the position of the terminal with the specific position information; and determining the communication mode of the terminal according to the result of the comparison. According to the present invention, the frequent transmission of small amounts of data can be supported in an efficient manner.
