<p>The present invention, related to wireless communications technology, especially related to a method, system and apparatus for identifying a terminal, is for solving the problem existed in the prior art that a plurality of Machine Type Communications (MTC) devices are unable to be identified in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) system. The embodiments of the present invention include the following steps: a network node determines a device identity, and determines the corresponding MTC device according to the device identity; wherein, the device identity includes the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) corresponding to the MTC device and the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) corresponding to the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) or Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) in the MTC device. With the method provide by the embodiments of the present invention, MTC devices can be identified in 3GPP system, because an MTC device is identified with the combined IMSI and IMEI, and the MTC device subscription is identified. Further, the embodiments of the present invention can also identify an MTC user subscription with the IMSI identity, and identify an MTC group composed by MTC devices in an MTC user subscription with a Mobile Subscriber ISDN (MSISDN).</p> |
