METHOD AND DEVICE OF MANAGING MTC DEVICES IN A MTC NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for managing MTC devices in a MTC network environment. In one embodiment, a notification message including a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) timer value or any other timer value is sent to a MTC device. Then, a query is received from the MTC device upon expiry of the HPLMN timer value to determine maximum length of MTC data allowed for transmission by the MTC device. Accordingly, length of MTC data allowed for transmission by the MTC device during an active period of the MTC device is determined and length information is communicated to the MTC device based on the determination. Furthermore, MTC data intended for an associated MTC server is received from the MTC device via an associated network cell based on the length information. The above steps are repeated upon complete reception of the MTC data.
