In some implementations, communication network comprises various device, and these equipment are assemblies of this network of access.For example, can there is the equipment of two types: access point (" AP ") and client (being also referred to as station or " STA ").Conventionally, AP is as hub or the base station of communication network, and STA is as the user of communication network.For example, STA can be laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile phone etc.In one example, STA for example, is connected to AP via the compatible wireless link of WiFi (, IEEE 802.11 agreements such as 802.11ah), to obtain with the Internet or with the general of other wide area network, is connected.

Access point (" AP ") can also comprise, is implemented as or is called as Node B, radio network controller (" RNC "), eNodeB, base station controller (" BSC "), base station transceiver (" BTS "), base station (" BS "), transceiver function unit (" TF "), router, transceiver, hub or certain other term.

Stand " STA " can also comprise, be implemented as or be called as access terminal (" AT "), subscriber station, subscriber unit, mobile radio station, distant station, remote terminal, user terminal, user agent, subscriber equipment, subscriber's installation or certain other term.In some implementations, access terminal can comprise that cell phone, phone, Session initiation Protocol (" SIP ") phone, wireless local loop (" WLL ") are stood, personal digital assistant (" PDA "), handheld device or be connected to certain other suitable treatment facility of modulator-demodulator.Correspondingly, one or more aspects of instruction herein (for example can be incorporated to phone, cell phone or smart phone), computer (for example, laptop computer), portable communication device, headphone, portable computing device (for example, personal digital assistant), amusement equipment (for example, music or video equipment, or satelline radio), game station or system, global positioning system equipment, electrical equipment, generating/transmission facility, watch-dog (as, seismic detector, smoke detector, Geiger counter, camera), intelligent gauge, automatic vending machine, or be configured to any other the suitable equipment mode of machine being communicated via wireless medium or wire medium with machine.

Some equipment can for example, for the intelligent metering in intelligent grid or the intelligent electric appliance configurable electrical equipment of the signal that sends or detect (, in response to).These equipment can provide sensor application or use in home automation.Instead or in addition, these equipment can be used in medical environment, for example, for individual health care.They can also, for monitoring, connect (for example, using together with focus) or realize the communication of machine to machine to realize the Internet of spreading range.

Fig. 1 shows example communication system.Communication system 100 can operate according to wireless standard.Communication system 100 can comprise AP 104, and AP 104 and the STA such as Intelligent practical instrument 106a, television set 106b, computer 106c or another access point 106d (hereinafter distinguishing or 106 signs for unification) communicate.

Various processes and method can be for the transmission between AP 104 in communication system 100 and STA 106.For example, can be according to OFDM/OFDMA technology sending and receiving signal between AP 104 and STA 106.If this is the case, communication system 100 can be called to OFDM/OFDMA system so.Or, can be according to CDMA technology sending and receiving signal between AP 104 and STA 106.If this is the case, communication system 100 can be called to cdma system so.In some implementations, can send the signal between AP 104 and STA 106 via wired connections such as Ethernet, optical fiber, cable, phone, electric wire and fax connection.

Can will contribute to the communication link of the transmission of the one or more STA from AP 104 to STA 106 to be called down link (DL) 108, and the communication link that contributes to one or more STA from STA 106 to the transmission of AP 104 can be called to up link (UL) 110.Or, down link 108 can be called to forward link or forward channel, and up link 110 can be called to reverse link or backward channel.

AP 104 can provide communication overlay in basic service region (BSA) 102.AP 104 can be called as Basic Service Set (BSS) together with the STA 106 being associated with AP 104 and be configured to communicate with AP 104.It should be noted in the discussion above that communication system 100 may not have central AP 104, but can be as the peer-to-peer network between STA 106.Correspondingly, the function of AP 104 described herein can alternatively be carried out by STA 106.For example, in some implementations, one or more STA 106 can be positioned at the outside of BSA 102.

In communication system 100, comprise in the implementation of a plurality of STA 106, STA 106 can compete up link 110 and down link 108 resources.For example, in CDMA realizes, STA 106 can receive data from AP 104 via the forward access channel (F-ACH) of down link 108.Similarly, STA 106 can send data to AP 104 via the Reverse Access Channel (R-ACH) of up link 110.STA 106 can be in the situation that do not access R-ACH from the explicit permission of AP 104, and AP 104 may not expect this transmission.Therefore, R-ACH can be called as random division multiple accessing channel.R-ACH also can be called as competitive channel, because the STA 106 competition communication resources, and the access attempts simultaneously carrying out may lead to a conflict.In some implementations, STA 106 waited for the rollback period (that is, the extra time period, in this time period, the node that hope sends will not attempted access medium) based on access limitation before attempting re-transmission.For example, access limitation can be the APersistence value based on group as described below.In realization, when access channel occupancy is relatively high, AP 104 can wait for the relatively long rollback period, and when access channel occupancy is relatively low, AP 104 can wait for the relatively short rollback period.In an embodiment, AP 104 can determine the rollback period from probability by the access channel occupancy based on detecting.

In realization, AP 104 can affect the rollback period by sending message to one or more STA 106.For example, in CDMA realizes, AP 104 can be upper to one or more STA 106 transmissions " access parameter messages " at Forward Paging Channel (F-PCH).

At STA 106, be in the implementation of M2M equipment, compare with the typical case of conventional communication networks, in communication network 100, can have more equipment.For example,, can there be intelligent electric meter in every house in intelligent grid.In addition, M2M equipment can have and use pattern unpredictable future.For example, although intelligent electric meter can be not access communications network 100 continually, other application (for example, health monitor and car to car communicator etc.) can cause the access frequency increasing.Similarly, the new application based on webpage (for example, social networks, cloud computing etc.) can have beyond thought ACH use pattern.In addition, M2M communication can have beyond thought relevant.For example, seismographic network can all attempt sending data after shared seismic events simultaneously.Because the uncertain character of M2M communication and M2M communication have the tendency of little data payload, ACH throughput can be the bottleneck in M2M communication network.Another potential bottleneck in M2M communication network is F-PCH.For example, AP 104 can attempt each seismic detector in the earthquake detection of paging simultaneously network after shared seismic events.In each embodiment herein, M2M communication can comprise or be called as machine type communication (MTC).

In implementation, can manage the contention access to communication network 100 by M2M equipment being formed to one or more access control group.For example, each STA 106 can be associated with one or more access control group.In one embodiment, AP 104 can comprise that by transmission " access parameter messages " Lai Dui access control group of " APersistence based on M2M group " field carries out addressing.In an embodiment, APersistence value can be indicated the probability that STA 106 can send during any particular time-slot.Time slot can be random time frame.Equally, the APersistence value based on group can be indicated the probability that the STA in the group being associated can send.AP 106 can be based on comprising that following one or more inputs determine one or more APersistence values based on group: the access control group being associated with STA 106, ACH occupancy, the not ratio, RL receiver rise-over-thermal (ROT), the time delay of FL packet queue, MAC index utilization rate etc. of the access attempts of service/service.Then, when definite rollback is during the period, STA 106 can apply the APersistence value based on group.

Although in this article with reference to HRPD term description access control, those of ordinary skills will understand is that: access control can be applied to for example comprise, any communication technology of EVDO, UMTS, LTE, 1xRTT and PPP system.

In various implementations, the data volume that STA 106 can be based on such as time delay/delay-tolerant degree, each data session and/or the factor equipment reservation level are associated with one or more access control group.The delay-tolerant degree of the time delay that in one implementation, STA 106 (or application-specific of carrying out on STA 106) can allow with indication STA 106 or application is associated.In one embodiment, STA 106 and/or application can be by providing time delay preference to transmit its delay-tolerant degree to AP 104.For example, STA 106 can send the time delay preference message that is used to indicate time delay tolerance to AP 104.In one embodiment, AP 104 can comprise the database for the time delay preference of one or more STA 106 and/or application.In one embodiment, AP 104 can be by observing from the communication of the STA 106 delay-tolerant degree of deriving.

Tolerance can be postponed to set of applications and be combined, and non-tolerance delay set of applications can be combined.In one implementation, the STA 106 that has each data session and generate the application of high data volume can be combined, the STA 106 that has each data session and generate the application of low data bulk can be combined.In one implementation, can STA 106 or set of applications be combined based on reservation level.For example, the reservation grouping for more expensive, can be combined high priority subscription group, and for not too expensive reservation grouping, low priority subscription group can be combined.In each embodiment, access control group can be called as " class ".Table 1 below shows the exemplary access control group allocation according to a kind of implementation.

As shown in table 1 above, group 0 can retain so that following use.Group 1 can comprise the application (for example, can tolerate the application of the time delay of about 50ms) with extremely low delay-tolerant degree.The example with the application of extremely low delay-tolerant degree comprises Smartway M2M.Its speed is adjusted in the communication of the automobile that in one implementation, automobile can be based on before it.Correspondingly, security consideration can give Smartway application relatively high priority.

Group 2 can comprise the application (for example, can tolerate that about 200ms is to the approximately application of the time delay of 500ms) with relatively low delay-tolerant degree.The example with the application of lower delay-tolerant degree comprises senior medical M2M.In one implementation, health monitor can be by vital sign relaying to health care professional.Correspondingly, security consideration can give the priority that senior medical applications is relatively high.

Group 3 can comprise the application (for example, can tolerate the application of the time delay of approximately 1 second to approximately 2 seconds) with human scale delay-tolerant degree.The example with the application of human scale delay-tolerant degree comprises, for example, the human interaction that the telethermometer that may be watched by people shows is applied.

Group 4 can comprise the application of the time delay that can tolerate approximately 30 seconds to approximately 60 seconds, such as, for example, stock controls application.Group 5 can comprise the application of the time delay that can tolerate approximately 15 the number of minutes magnitudes, and for example, calendar upgrades application.Group 6 can comprise the application of the time delay that can tolerate the order of magnitude that is greater than approximately 1 hour, for example, and practical instrument application.Group 7 and group 8 can retain so that following use.

Can be based on subscribing because usually determining the subset of access control group.For example, as shown in table 1, the 1-8 of group does not comprise reservation factor, and the 9-11 of group can comprise reservation factor.Group 9 can comprise with premium account subscribes the application that (for example, " gold ", " silver " etc.) is associated.In one implementation, group's 9 communications can have the first probability (X%) over the access delay of first threshold (Y second).

Group 10 can comprise with medium convenient account subscribes the application being associated.In one implementation, group's 10 communications can have the second probability (W%) over the access delay of Second Threshold (Z second).In one implementation, the first probability (X%) can be lower than the second probability (Y%).In one implementation, first threshold (Y second) can be lower than Second Threshold (Z second).Group 11 can retain so that following distribution.

Can distribute and carry out pre-configured to subscriber equipment by class.Can come for example via M2M service registry and request, the class being defined by M2M classification or the ID of group is distributed.M2M classification can be intelligent grid, health care etc.Can distribute the ID of M2M group for each the M2M group that comprises classification information.For example, the ID1 of group can be Santiago (San Diego) combustion gas and electricity (SDGE) person of checking meter.Can, by beep-page message to the ID of devices allocation classification/group, for example, under CMAS-indication, can add CMAS-indication-group-X and CMAS-indication-group-Y.In another example, can add M2M-indication and the x of M2M-indication-group, and introduce the new SIB for M2M.In another example, eMBMS indication or other eMBMS-indication-group-x and eMBMS-indication-group-y (current systemInfoModification (system information modification) has indicated: can add any Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) different from SIB10/11/12 and revise).

As mentioned above, for to one group of subscriber equipment multicast/broadcast data, equipment and M2M class (that is the classification, with the one or more groups that are associated, subgroup and/or the sub-subgroup corresponding with data in order to be received by this group UE) are carried out associated.In each classification, can there is the hierarchical structure of the ID of group.For example, as shown in the table, M2M classification can comprise consumption electronic product (CE), health care, automobile and metering.Each classification has the distributed ID of group.The ID of group can have one or more subgroup ID that are associated, and subgroup ID can have one or more sub-subgroup ID that are associated.

Table 2

Subscriber equipment can be associated with one or more ID of group, subgroup ID or sub-subgroup ID, makes equipment be set to receive the broadcast/multi broadcast data corresponding with one or more ID in these ID.For the ease of further describing, term " ID of group " is intended to contain all other ID of level, comprises group, subgroup and sub-subgroup.

IDKe You operator of group or service supplier distribute.For example, the in the situation that of operation, mobile country code/mobile network code, MNC (MCC/MNC) can be included in the ID of group, and the in the situation that of service supplier, MCC/ service supplier ID can be contained in the ID of group.The ID of group also can be distributed by the M2M international symposium such as OneM2M.

The ID of group of subscriber equipment is distributed can be by pre-configured or occur by online distribution.Pre-configured in the situation that, equipment can be to the ID of its group of M2M server registration during M2M service registry.The in the situation that of online distribution, M2M server can be to the ID of devices allocation group during M2M service registry.In addition, operator can be during attaching process distribution group ID, in this case, equipment subsequently during M2M service registry to M2M server registration its ID of group distributing.

In certain embodiments, much small-sized M2M equipment may need to be waken up simultaneously.For example, utility company can upload its current measurement data by requesting service, or utility company can want equipment to take action according to subtracting loading demand/response request, for example, close the power consumption electrical equipment such as air-conditioning or dishwasher.Because the clean culture paging meeting for each indivedual equipment consumes a large amount of Internet resources, so Radio Paging mechanism is expected.

Utility company can need to have the ability (for example,, in intelligent grid) that sends broadcast to one group of M2M node.In this case, broadcast need to arrive target device.From the response of equipment, can be or may be dispensable.For example, if broadcast is relevant with price updating, so need to be from the unicast response of equipment.Or, in certain time frame, can expect clean culture confirmation (for example,, for D/R situation).So really, approve to comprise: indicate total regression just in processed ACK (optionally), or indicate the ACK of actual total regression.In both cases, provide the period responding therein, wherein total regression has longer time frame.Response (only indicating total regression just at processed or indication total regression no matter be) can be full of network, therefore need to be managed well.

The definition of one group of practical node can be different from the group node in cellular network.In one case, a practical node is conventionally corresponding with the node in a plurality of communities.In other cases, practical group is corresponding with the subset of node in community.

The enhancing of MTC server is provided for transmit the broadcast service coordination function of broadcast to much M2M equipment.Enhancement mode MTC server: keep the mapping between practical group and honeycomb group; For each practical group, keep the list of serviced equipment; Enable dissimilar broadcast service (such as price updating, D/R etc.); Manufacture indication particular broadcast service and (definitely) response time the broadcast of (if expectation ACK); Establishment is used to indicate the header that the type of the acceptable broadcast of WWAN (for example, this can be only the broadcast with ACK, does not expect the broadcast of ACK) is carried out to rough indication, and also can indicate this is the message relevant with intelligent grid.

In addition enhancement mode MTC server: submit message to cellular network; The institute that acquisition is intended to arrive for the list of equipment (from the angle of serving); Wait from for the confirm/response of service layer clean culture of target device; If Expected Response, the list of the equipment that maintenance has responded; The broadcast group of not yet response or node are pointed to fresh target; Bing Xiang utility company sends the renewal to the efficiency of broadcast request.

In exemplary broadcast implementation, network (WWAN) sends Radio Paging to one group of equipment.Paging comprises the general group class indication symbol being associated with M2M equipment (C1).Paging also provides the staggered duration (T1), and during this period, network expectation is from the response of M2M equipment.Network can repeatedly be broadcasted this paging again, to improve the validity of broadcast.Paging also comprises broadcast transaction identifier (B1), if Radio Paging again is reused this identifier.Tlv triple (B1, C1 and T1) has formed Radio Paging request.Network is waited for the response from M2M equipment in advised time frame.

If some equipment in M2M equipment do not respond in time frame, network can send new Radio Paging to respond with new broadcast transaction identifier and new duration so.Also can repeatedly again broadcast this new paging, to increase the validity of broadcast.Different types of M2M equipment can be take the different duration as target, and wherein, the equipment of higher priority must respond on the shorter duration, and the equipment of lower priority must respond on the duration of expansion.For example, the broadcast of multiple types can comprise (B1, C1, T1, C2, T2, C3, T3 ...), wherein, T is the time, and T1<T2<T3.Kind is that the equipment of C1 must respond in time T 1.Kind is that the equipment of C2 must respond in time T 2, and for example, can only in time T 2 – T1, respond.Kind is that the equipment of C3 must respond in time T 3, and for example, can only in time T 3 – T2, respond.Finally, optional unicast session can be used for contacting not yet by network Radio Paging is attempted to each the M2M equipment responding.

For M2M equipment, it receives Radio Paging, and device class identifier and its class indication symbol identified in paging match.Recognition of devices is expected the duration of its response therein.For the Radio Paging of multiple types, recognition of devices is expected the time frame of its response therein, for example, for device category C3, is T3 – T2.Equipment selects random moment for transmitting for response in identified time frame.In this random moment, device transmission is returned network.If occurred unsuccessfully in transmission, the random moment of equipment in remaining remaining time attempts again so.If equipment fails to communicate within the distributed time, it is waited for from the new Radio Paging with the network of new broadcast identifier so.Or equipment is waited for the clean culture paging that is exclusively used in this equipment.

For unicast response, equipment can respond on RACH, in distributing to their staggered time interval, selects randomly transmission time.The equipment that receives information but attempt repairing can be reported their state, for example, and following state: receive message, attempt repairing; Or receive message, repair successfully.The equipment that does not receive any information and do not receive broadcast can again become the target of MTC server in follow-up broadcast.The different subgroup of equipment can be take different remediation servers as target, take a plurality of subgroup simultaneously load is assigned on these remediation servers during as target with box lunch.The different subgroup of equipment of can take in the different time intervals are target, to alleviate the unicast response congestion load on network.

In one implementation, access control process 232 can send one or more beep-page messages to STA106 via transmitter 210.For example, when F-PCH is congested, access control process 232 can the access control group based on being associated with each STA 106 be determined the priority of beep-page message.For example, access control process 232 can come to send beep-page message for the M2M group of higher priority with shorter time delay, and can come to send beep-page message for the M2M group of lower priority with longer time delay.

In one implementation, access control process 232 can be fetched the list of the access control group associations of storage in memory 206, based on message for the access control group of STA 106 determine the time delay that is applied to each beep-page message, and via transmitter 210, send beep-page messages after time delay.Although in this article paging time delay is described as and is applied by AP 104, paging time delay is applied in any aspect that can be in communication network 100 (comprise, for example, RAN, core net, M2M IWF and/or M2M server).

Access control process 232 can also be to take the variable paging time delay of messages application that the STA106 that is associated with identical access control group is target.In one implementation, for example, when a large amount of paging behaviors be take single M2M group during as target, the random or pseudorandom time delay of the beep-page message application of access control process 232 in can XiangM2M group.In one implementation, the time delay in this group can be based on for example extra factor of delay-tolerant degree.

In some implementations, STA 106 can provide information to allow Network Recognition for the reservation of STA106.For example, intelligent gauge can carry out access network according to the reservation to service supplier.The access control process 232 comprising in intelligent gauge can be configured to comprise that subscription number is as a part for the registration request that powers on.In some implementations, access control process 232 for example can provide information, so that the reservation (, UUID, Customer ID) that allows AP 104 identifications to be associated with intelligent gauge.In these implementations, the access control process 232 at AP 104 places can the information based on received be determined reservation.

Each assembly of equipment 202 can be coupled by bus system 226.For example, bus system 226 can comprise data/address bus, and except data/address bus, also comprises power bus, control signal bus and status signal bus in addition.Those of ordinary skills will understand: the assembly of equipment 202 can be used certain other Mechanism coupling together or accepts input each other or input is provided towards each other.

Although figure 2 illustrates some independent assemblies, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the one or more assemblies in these assemblies can combine or jointly realize.For example, processor unit 204 can be for not only realizing the function of describing above with reference to processor unit 204, and realize the function of describing above with reference to access control process 232 and/or signal detector 218.In addition, each assembly in the assembly shown in Fig. 2 can be realized with a plurality of individual components.

Fig. 3 shows example machine for the wireless communication system method flow diagram 300 to machine access control process.In the example shown, at frame 305 places, equipment 310 (for example machine is to machine STA 106) can receive access parameter messages from AP 315.As discussed above, in one embodiment, access parameter messages can comprise APersistence value.In one implementation, AP 315 can be, for example, and the AP 104 describing above with reference to Fig. 1.

Next, at frame 320 places, equipment 310 is attempted sending on R-ACH.Then, at frame 325 places, equipment 310 determines when sending, whether there is conflict on R-ACH.If there is conflict, equipment 310 continues to frame 330 so.At frame 330 places, equipment 310 is waited for the rollback period.The rollback period can be based on access parameter messages and the access control group being associated with equipment 310.At rollback, after the period, at frame 320 places, equipment 310 can be attempted transmitting on R-ACH again.If transmission success, equipment 310 can continue to frame 320 so, and at frame 320 places, when other data are available, equipment 310 can send again on R-ACH.

At frame 335 places, AP 315 receives transmission from equipment 310 on R-ACH.Next, at frame 340 places, AP 315 can determine one or more access node statisticss.In each embodiment, access node statistics can comprise one or more in following: the access control group being associated with STA 106, ACH occupancy, not ratio, RL receiver rise-over-thermal (ROT), the time delay of FL packet queue and the MAC index utilization rate of the access attempts of service/service.Then, at frame 345 places, AP 315 can generate access parameter messages based on access node statistics and/or the access control group being associated with equipment 310.AP 315 can send access parameter messages (it can comprise APersistence value) to equipment 310, thereby completes sealing access control circulation.Therefore, in one embodiment, AP 315 can be continuously or off and on monitoring access channel congestion, recalculate APersistence value, to equipment 310, resend the APersistence value recalculating.

Fig. 4 shows another example machine for wireless communication system method flow diagram 400 to machine access control process.In the example shown, at frame 405 places, equipment (such as AP 106) can generate one or more beep-page messages.Beep-page message can be for each STA 106, and wherein each STA 106 can be associated with one or more access control group.Next, at frame 410 places, AP 106 determine with each beep-page message for the access control group that is associated of STA 106.Data volume that can be based on such as time delay/delay-tolerant degree, each data session and/or equipment reservation level because usually determining access control group.

After this, at frame 415 places, AP 106 can determine one or more access node statisticss.In one embodiment, access node statistics can be indicated the congestion level of access channel.In each embodiment, access node statistics can comprise one or more in following: the access control group being associated with STA106, ACH occupancy, not ratio, RL receiver rise-over-thermal (ROT), the time delay of FL packet queue and the MAC index utilization rate of the access attempts of service/service.

Then, at frame 420 places, AP 106 applies group's time delay based on one or more in following to each beep-page message: in the definite access control group in frame 410 places, in the definite access node statistics in frame 415 places, average down link queuing delay etc.For example, AP 106 can be to the relatively short time delay of beep-page message application of the STA 106 for for example, with relatively the group of high priority (, the group shown in table 1 1) is associated.On the other hand, the relatively long time delay of beep-page message application of the STA 106 that AP 106 can for example, be associated to the group for relatively low priority (, the group shown in table 1 6).

As another example, for the G1 of group of minimum time delay tolerance, may not there is not paging time delay.For the G2 of group of larger time delay tolerance, group's time delay can be that predetermined factor X2 is multiplied by DL queuing delay.Similarly, for the G3 of group of multiple-time delay tolerance even more, group's time delay can be that predetermined factor X3 is multiplied by DL queuing delay, etc.Factor X3 can be greater than factor X2.

Subsequently, at frame 425 places, AP 106 can be to time delay in one or more beep-page message application group of the institute's addressing in group.In one embodiment, for example, when the quantity of the beep-page message that will send when quantity or the time per unit of the beep-page message that will send is greater than threshold value, AP 106 can application group in time delay.In another embodiment, for example, two beep-page messages in group have the identical paging of arrival STA 106 during the triggered time, and AP 106 can the interior time delay of application group.In one embodiment, AP 106 can be at random or the indivedual time delays of calculating beep-page message of pseudorandom ground.In one embodiment, AP 106 can the rule based on first serving first (FCFS) postpone the beep-page message in group.Compare with the time delay based on group discussed above, in group, time delay can be relatively short.In one embodiment, the not interior time delay of application group of AP 106.

Next, at frame 430 places, AP 106 is sending beep-page message after each beep-page message distributes time delay.Therefore, if do not have congested, AP 106 is used lower time delay to send the beep-page message for the STA being associated with high priority access control group so, uses higher time delay to send the beep-page message for the STA being associated with low priority access control group.

In one aspect, each communication path can be for making device trigger request arrive M2M equipment 902.For example, in one implementation, can provide the text based being provided by network messaging services.For example, as further described below, unstructured. supplementary service data (USSD) message and SMS message can be for M2M device trigger.

As described, USSD message can be for device trigger.Because USSD can be used as conversation-based communication service, operate, so in one aspect, can provide the complete conversational equipment via USSD to trigger.Can send and comprise that unstructured supplementary service request notice calls USSD REGISTER (USSD registration) message of (destructuring SS-notice is called).M2M equipment 902 can comprise that FACILITY (facility) message of empty result component confirms by transmission.If M2M application is wished by proceeding communication via the USSD session of USSD message setting, can send so to comprise that destructuring SS-notifies more FACILITY (facility) message of calling component or destructuring SS-request component.Can stop session by sending RELEASE COMPLETE (release completes) message.In addition, M2M equipment 902 can send RELEASECOMPLETE (release completes) message and remove session.If M2M equipment 902 can not be processed notice or request, it comprises transmission FACILITY (facility) message of error result so.USSD notice can depend on calling at the M2M equipment 902 that is arranged in calling.Otherwise M2M equipment 902 can send RELEASE COMPLETE (release completes) message that comprises " USSD-is busy " mistake.

Although can send the several message that comprise M2M data with UUSD session, device trigger can be used the USSD message of trying one's best few.In one aspect, device trigger can complete via REGISTER (registration) message and RELEASE (release) message.

Figure 10 A is the call flow diagram of using the exemplary call flow that the point-to-point machine of unstructured. supplementary service data (USSD) message triggers machinery equipment.Once USSD gateway 926 receives the request of the device trigger request that will be sent to M2M equipment 902, calling out 1002 places so, USSD gateway 926 sends REGISTER (registration) message to M2M equipment 902.REGISTER (registration) message can comprise via the destructuring SS-notice of paging (that is, public) or Traffic Channel calls component.REGISTER (registration) message can be used as facility (call=destructuring SS-notifies (ussd-data coding scheme, ussd-character string)) and sends, and wherein, ussd-string argument can comprise device trigger request.As response, in order to remove session, M2M equipment 902 can send RELEASE COMPLETE (release completes) message.Thereby, can come finishing equipment to trigger by these two USSD message, wherein, device trigger request can be included in Initial R EGISTER (registration) message.

Figure 10 B is the call flow diagram of using the exemplary call flow that the broadcast device of USSD message triggers machinery equipment.In this case, once USSD gateway 926 receives the request of the device trigger request that will be sent to M2M equipment 902, USSD gateway 926 can send REGISTER (registration) message so.REGISTER (registration) message can be used as facility (call=destructuring SS-notifies (ussd-data coding scheme, ussd-character string)) and sends, and wherein, ussd-string argument can comprise device trigger request.In this case, USSD message sends via paging channel.In this case, due to the character of broadcast, M2M equipment 902 can not replied.Thereby as will be further described below, another entity in network can send RELEASE (release) message to complete session.

Via USSD message, to M2M equipment 902 transmitting apparatus trigger request, can relate to several in entity as described above with reference to Figure 9.Thereby, describe below for sending the example of the mode of USSD message.Yet, other method and mechanism can be provided with different as shown in Figure 9 entities.

Figure 11 is the call flow diagram of the exemplary call flow that machinery equipment is triggered of the point-to-point machine by the use USSD message of common signal channel.When being first registered to M2M server 916, first M2M equipment 902 can call out HRPD session and the PPP session with PDSN 914 via RAN/PCF 910 foundation of 1102 places.Can 1104 there is via calling out (for example, HAAA912 can to PDSN 914 transmitting apparatus kinds) in authentication in addition.In addition, the registration between M2M equipment 902 and M2M server 916 can also complete as called out shown in 1106.After registration, calling out 1108 places, discharge PPP session.

In a period of time after this, when M2M equipment 902 no longer has the activity data stream that M2M server 916 is opened, M2M server 916 may need to communicate with M2M equipment 902.In order to activate or " waking up " M2M equipment 902, M2M server 916 can be to M2M equipment 902 transmitting apparatus trigger request.Calling out 1110 places, M2M server 916 can send message to trigger M2M equipment 902 to M2M-IWF 918.Calling out 1112 and 1114 places, M2M-IWF 918 can send message to obtain the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) of M2M equipment 902 from HLR 922.In certain aspects, can use another identifier.Calling out 1116 places, after HLR 922 obtains IMSI, the device trigger request that M2M-IWF 918 can send in USSD notice (USSD NOTIFY) to USSD gateway 926, will be sent to M2M equipment 902 so that notice has the USSD message of device trigger request.Now, M2M-IWF 918 can start short message timer (SMT).If M2M-IWF 918 does not receive another indication within the duration of SMT, M2M-IWF 918 can take some actions so, such as resending failed message or responding with failed message.Calling out 1119 and 1120 places, USSD gateway 926 obtains the network address of M2M equipment 902 from HLR 922.In one aspect, can use SMS request message.Calling out 1122 places, USSD gateway 926 can be used SMS_ carrying data (SMS_BearData) parameter that comprises USSD notice to build mapping SMDPP and call (MAP SMDPP INVOKE) message, and sends these message to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, USSD gateway 926 can start SMT.If USSD gateway 926 does not receive response within the duration of SMT, USSD gateway 926 can take some actions to and resends failed message or respond with failed message so.

When receiving SMDPP and call (SMDPP INVOKE) message, MSC/MSCe 924 determines that by checking user profiles the whether authorized use USSD of user serves, and whether USSD message is for M2M device trigger.If the size of USSD registration (USSD REGISTER) message is also little, so not necessarily to use Traffic Channel.Calling out 1124 places, MSC/MSCe 924 can build IOS ADDS paging (IOS ADDS Page) and send and will be forwarded to via RAN/PCF 910 message of M2M equipment 920.MSC/MSCe 924 can start timer T3113 based on paging request.If MSC/MSCe 924 does not receive the response to IOS ADDS paging within the duration of T3113 timer, MSC/MSCe 924 can take some actions so, such as resending failed message or responding with failed message.Calling out 1126 places, then RAN/PCF 910 sends notice (NOTIFY) message and USSD message on common signal channel.In certain aspects, on common signal channel, send USSD message and can allow performance to improve, because for example do not need reservation of resource for setting up Traffic Channel.Yet, in one aspect in, for the data volume in the USSD message that can transmit on common signal channel, can limit to some extent.

Then, as call out in 1128 indicatedly, M2M equipment 902 can build the USSD that will use layer 2 Ack to send to RAN/PCF 910 and discharge (USSD RELEASE) message.After this, calling out 1130 places, RAN/PCF 910 builds IOS ADDs paging Ack and sends IOS ADDs paging Ack and USSD release (USSD RELEASE) message to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, can stop T3113 timer.MSC/MSCe 924 comprises that by structure the SMDPP of USSD DBM (release) returns results (SMDPP RETURN RESULT) message and confirms to shine upon SMDPP and call, and to USSD gateway 926, sends these SMDPP message calling out 1132 places.Now, SMT can be stopped by USSD gateway 926.Return results (SMDPP RETURN RESULT) afterwards receiving the SMDPP with USSD DBM (release), calling out 1134 places, USSD gateway 926 can send mapping smdpp (ACK) to M2M-IWF 918.Then, M2M-IWF 918 can stop SMT.

After reception has the USSD message of device trigger request, can trigger M2M equipment 902 so that the communication link of initiation and M2M server 916.Thereby, calling out 1136 places, M2M equipment 902 can be carried out with the PPP of PDSN 914 and set up, and carries out authentication calling out 1138 places, then call out 1140 places can open go to M2M server 916 communication path so that performing data transmission.

Figure 12 is the call flow diagram of another exemplary call flow that machinery equipment is triggered of the point-to-point machine by the use USSD message of common signal channel.Form contrast with the call-flow shown in Figure 11, M2M-IWF 918 can, to HLR 922 delivery network addresses and exterior I D, to receive the address of inner ID and M2M equipment 902, then be delivered to USSD gateway 926 by this address.Thereby USSD gateway 926 can be from HLR 922 extracting position information, and positional information directly can be sent to correct MSC/MSCe 924.

Therefore, calling out the initial M2M facility registration shown in 1202,1204,1206 and 1208 can occur as described above with reference to Figure 11.Calling out 1210 places, M2M server 916 can send message to trigger M2M equipment 902 to M2M-IWF 918.Calling out 1212 and 1214 places, M2M-IWF 918 for example can send message, as mentioned above to obtain IMSI and address (, the SMS_ address) of M2M equipment 902 from HLR 922.In certain aspects, can use another identifier.Calling out 1216 places, after HLR 922 obtains IMSI and address, device trigger request from USSD notice (USSD NOTIFY) to USSD gateway 926 and address that M2M-IWF 918 can send in, so that notice will be sent to the USSD message with device trigger request of M2M equipment 902.Now, M2M-IWF 918 can start short message timer (SMT).In this case, the address of M2M equipment 902 is not asked or obtained to USSD gateway 926, because it has had this address now.Calling out 1218 places, USSD gateway 926 can be used SMS_ carrying data (SMS_BearData) parameter that comprises USSD notice to build mapping SMDPP and call (MAP SMDPP INVOKE) message, and sends these message to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, USSD gateway 926 can start SMT.

Receiving after SMDPP calls (SMDPP INVOKE) message, MSC/MSCe 924 by check user profiles and determine the whether authorized USSD of use of user serves and USSD message whether for M2M device trigger.If the size of USSD registration (USSD REGISTER) message is little, so not necessarily use Traffic Channel.Calling out 1220 places, MSC/MSCe 924 can build IOS ADDS paging (IOS ADDS Page) and send and will be forwarded to via RAN/PCF 910 message of M2M equipment 920.MSC/MSCe 924 can start timer T3113 based on paging request.Calling out 1222 places, then RAN/PCF 910 sends notice (NOTIFY) message by USSD message on common signal channel.

Then, as call out in 1224 indicatedly, M2M equipment 902 can build the USSD that will use layer 2 Ack to send to RAN/PCF 910 and discharge (USSD RELEASE) message.After this, calling out 1226 places, RAN/PCF 910 is used USSD to discharge (USSD RELEASE) message and builds IOS ADDS paging Ack, and sends IOS ADDS paging Ack to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, can stop T3113 timer.MSC/MSCe 924 comprises that by structure the SMDPP of USSD DBM (release) returns results (SMDPP RETURN RESULT) message and confirms to shine upon SMDPP and call, and to USSD gateway 926, sends SMDPP message calling out 1228 places.Now, SMT can be stopped by USSD gateway 926.Return results (SMDPP RETURN RESULT) afterwards receiving the SMDPP with USSD DBM (release), calling out 1230 places, USSD gateway 926 can send mapping smdpp (ACK) to M2M-IWF 918.Then, M2M-IWF 918 can stop SMT.

After reception has the USSD message of device trigger request, can trigger M2M equipment 902 so that the communication link of initiation and M2M server 916.Thereby, calling out 1232 places, M2M equipment 902 can be carried out with the PPP of PDSN 914 and set up, and carries out authentication calling out 1234 places, and then call out 1236 places can open go to M2M server 916 communication path so that performing data transmission.

Figure 13 is by using the call flow diagram of the exemplary call flow that the point-to-point machine of the USSD message in Traffic Channel triggers machinery equipment.Form contrast with the call-flow shown in Figure 11, can determine and set up Traffic Channel for sending USSD message, rather than on common signal channel, send message.Calling out the initial M2M facility registration shown in 1302,1304,1306 and 1308 can occur as described above with reference to Figure 11.Once register M2M equipment 902, as mentioned above after this sometime, when not setting up communication session between M2M equipment 902 and M2M server 916, M2M server 916 can wish to make M2M equipment 902 initiate to trigger M2M equipment 902 with the communication session of M2M server 916 by transmitting apparatus trigger request.As described above with reference to Figure 11, USSD message can be for providing device trigger request to M2M equipment.In this case, can be with described like that similarly to being processed by the indicated call-flow of calling 1310,1312,1314,1317,1318 and 1322 above with reference to Figure 11.

When SMDPP message call is received by MSC/MSCe 924, form contrast with Figure 11, MSC/MSCe 924 can determine that USSD registration (USSD REGISTER) message is even as big as setting up Traffic Channel.If M2M equipment 902, not in Traffic Channel, calling out 1324 places, can be set up Traffic Channel so between MSC/MSCe 924 and M2M equipment 902.Then, MSC/MSCe 924 builds and sends IOS ADDS transmission to send and will be forwarded to the message of M2M equipment 902 via RAN/PCF 910 at calling 1326 places, and starts T3113 timer.Then, calling out 1328 places, RAN/PCF 910 can be used USSD registration (USSD REGISTER) message to send a notification message together with device trigger solicited message in Traffic Channel.Calling out 1330 places, M2M equipment 902 can be used the USSD release (USSD RELEASE) with layer 2 Ack to respond.Calling out 1332 places, RAN/PCF 910 is used USSD to discharge (USSD RELEASE) and builds IOS ADDS transmission ACK, and sends it to MSC/MSCe924.T3113 timer stops, and can continue as called out MSC/MSCe 924 as shown in 1334 Traffic Channel of dismantling.MSC/MSCe 924 comprises that by structure the SMDPP of USSD DBM (release) returns results (SMDPP RETURN RESULT) message and confirms to shine upon SMDPP and call, and to USSD gateway 926, sends these SMDPP message calling out 1336 places.Now, SMT can be stopped by USSD gateway 926.When receiving the SMDPP with USSD DBM (release) and return results (SMDPP RETURN RESULT), calling out 1338 places, USSD gateway 926 can send mapping smdpp (ACK) to M2M-IWF 918.Then, M2M-IWF 918 can stop SMT.Then, as described above with reference to Figure 11, in calling out 1340,1342 and 1344, M2M equipment 902 can by set up PPP session or similarly session initiate the communication link with M2M server 916, and send data to M2M server 916.

In one aspect, by using the M2M device trigger based on USSD, MC/SMS-SC 920 can avoid being transshipped by M2M device trigger message.In addition, can complete M2M device trigger via conversation-based message transfer service.

Figure 14 is by using the call flow diagram of another exemplary call flow that the point-to-point machine of the USSD message in Traffic Channel triggers machinery equipment.Calling out the initial M2M facility registration shown in 1402,1404,1406 and 1408 can occur as described above with reference to Figure 11.Form contrast with Figure 13, then M2M-IWF 918 can, to HLR 922 delivery network addresses and exterior I D, to receive the address of inner ID and M2M equipment 902, and be delivered to USSD gateway 926 by this address.Thereby USSD gateway 926 can and directly send to correct MSC/MSCe 924 by it from HLR 922 extracting position information.Thereby, can process similarly the call-flow in the calling 1410,1412,1414,1416 and 1418 shown in Figure 14 with the corresponding stream of calling out the Figure 12 shown in 1210,1212,1214,1216 and 1218.

When SMDPP message call is received by MSC/MSCe 924, form contrast with Figure 12, MSC/MSCe 924 can determine that USSD registration (USSD REGISTER) message is even as big as setting up Traffic Channel.If M2M equipment 902, not in Traffic Channel, calling out 1420 places, can be set up Traffic Channel so between MSC/MSCe 924 and M2M equipment 902.Then, MSC/MSCe 924 builds and sends IOS ADDS transmission at calling 1422 places to send and will be forwarded to the message of M2M equipment 902 via RAN/PCF 910, and starts T3113 timer.Then, calling out 1424 places, RAN/PCF 910 can be used USSD registration (USSD REGISTER) message to send a notification message together with device trigger solicited message in Traffic Channel.Calling out 1426 places, M2M equipment 902 can be used the USSD release (USSD RELEASE) with layer 2 Ack to respond.Calling out 1428 places, RAN/PCF 910 is used USSD to discharge (USSD RELEASE) and builds IOS ADDS transmission ACK, and sends it to MSC/MSCe 924.T3113 timer stops, and as called out the Traffic Channel of can dismantling of MSC/MSCe 924 as shown in 1430.MSC/MSCe 924 comprises that by structure the SMDPP of USSD DBM (release) returns results (SMDPP RETURN RESULT) message and confirms to shine upon SMDPP and call, and to USSD gateway 926, sends these SMDPP message calling out 1432 places.Now, SMT can be stopped by USSD gateway 926.Return results (SMDPP RETURN RESULT) afterwards receiving the SMDPP with USSD DBM (release), calling out 1434 places, USSD gateway 926 can send mapping smdpp (ACK) to M2M-IWF 918.Then, M2M-IWF 918 can stop SMT.Then, as described above with reference to Figure 11, in calling out 1436,1438 and 1434, M2M equipment 902 can by set up PPP session or similarly session initiate the communication link with M2M server 916, and use M2M server 916 to transmit data.

Figure 15 is the call flow diagram of using the exemplary call flow that the broadcast device of USSD message triggers machinery equipment.In this case, after a plurality of M2M equipment is registered to network and M2M server 916, M2M server 916 can be in the mode of broadcast to a plurality of M2M equipment transmitting apparatus trigger request, rather than send independent trigger request to each M2M equipment 902.Therefore, in one aspect in, USSD message can be for the device trigger request from M2M server 916 to each M2M device broadcasts.

The initial M2M facility registration of calling out any one the M2M equipment in a plurality of M2M equipment shown in 1502,1504,1506 and 1508 can occur as described above with reference to Figure 11.Once register M2M equipment, after as mentioned above, sometime, M2M server 916 just can wish to trigger one or more M2M equipment with single request.Calling out 1510 places, M2M server 916 can send the device trigger that indicating equipment trigger request should be broadcast to one or more M2M equipment to M2M-IWF 918.Calling out 1512 and 1514 places, M2M-IWF 918 can inquire about HLR 922 and receive service type.Service type can be defined so that with corresponding for comprise the pattern of USSD message of device trigger request to one or more M2M device broadcasts.Calling out 1516 places, M2M-IWF 918 is used the mapping SMDPP with SMS_ carrying data acquisition system to call (MAP SMDPP INVOKE) message to USSD gateway 926 transmission triggering message, to trigger message and SMS_BTTI (SMS broadcasts classification).Now, M2M-IWF 918 can start SMT.Calling out 1518 places, USSD gateway 926 is confirmed SMDPP message to M2M-IWF 918, and now, if receive this confirmation, SMT can stop so.Calling out 1520 and 1522 places, the service type in USSG gateway 926 use SMS_BTTI is inquired about HLR 922, to fetch broadcast address.Calling out 1524 places, 926 uses of USSG gateway comprise that SMS_ carrying data (SMS_BearData) parameter of USSD notice and SMS_BTTI builds mapping SMDPP and calls (MAP SMDPP INVOKE) message, and send these message to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, USSD gateway 926 can start SMT.When MSC/MSCe 924 receives SMDPP INVOKE (SMDPP calls) message, MSC/MSCe 924 determines that whether this request is authorized and whether for broadcast, if words, MSC/MSCe 924 is used USSD RELEASE (USSD release) to come to send SMDPP message to USSD gateway 926 so, now, calling out 1526 places, can stop SMT.

Calling out 1528 places, MSC/MSCe 924 can build IOS ADDS paging.The data burst type of ADDS user data information unit is set to USSD.The SMS_ carrying data parameters that mapping SMDPP calls is for creating the application data message of ADDS user data information unit.MSC/MSCe 924 sends IOS ADDS paging to RAN/PCF 910.MSC/MSCe 924 can start timer T3113 based on paging request.When RAN/PCF 910 receives IOS:ADDS beep-page message, calling out 1530 places, RAN/PCF 910 sends acknowledge message via IOS:ADDS paging Ack to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, MSC/MSCe 924 can stop timer T3113.Then, RAN/PCF 910 is on common signal channel and sends broadcast triggering message to the M2M equipment 902 being included in broadcast address in calling 1532 via USSD notice.M2M equipment 902 builds USSD with layer 2 Ack and discharges (USSD RELEASE) message in calling out 1534, and this USSD release message is sent to RAN/PCF 910.Then, as described above with reference to Figure 11, in calling out 1536,1538 and 1540, the M2M equipment 902 of broadcast group can by set up PPP session or similarly session initiate the communication link with M2M server 916, to M2M server 916, send data.

In one aspect, for the broadcast M2M device trigger based on USSD, USSD is conversation-based, and USSD gateway 926 can be modified to not to be accepted to reply from any of M2M equipment 902.Or, may need agency (for example, the MSC/MSCe 924 as shown in above with reference to calling 1526) to represent that by discharged (RELEASE COMPLETE) message to 920 transmissions of USSD gateway M2M equipment 902 stops sessions.

Figure 16 is the call flow diagram of using another exemplary call flow that the broadcast device of USSD message triggers machinery equipment.Form contrast with Figure 15, M2M-IWF 918 can send exterior I D, service type and position to HLR 1612, for example, to be received in interior location in response, that can indicate broadcast address (, interior zone ID).In this way, USSD gateway 926 can be to HLR 922 request position information, and this positional information directly can be sent to correct MSC/MSCe 924.

Therefore, the initial M2M facility registration of any one the M2M equipment in a plurality of M2M equipment shown in calling 1602,1604,1606 and 1608 can occur as described above with reference to Figure 11.Once register M2M equipment, after as mentioned above, sometime, M2M server 916 just can wish to trigger one or more M2M equipment with single request.Calling out 1610 places, M2M server 916 can send and be used to indicate the device trigger signal that device trigger request should be broadcast to one or more M2M equipment to M2M-IWF 918.Calling out 1612 and 1614 places, M2M-IWF 918 can inquire the HLR 922 that sends exterior I D, service type and position, and receives interior zone ID.Service type can be defined so that with corresponding for comprise the pattern of USSD message of device trigger request to one or more M2M device broadcasts.Calling out 1616 places, M2M-IWF 918 is used the mapping SMDPP with SMS_ carrying data acquisition system to call (MAP SMDPP INVOKE) message to USSD gateway 926 transmission triggering message, to trigger message and SMS_BTTI (SMS broadcasts classification).Now, M2M-IWF 918 can start SMT.Calling out 1618 places, USSD gateway 926 is confirmed SMDPP message to M2M-IWF 918, and now, if receive this confirmation, SMT can stop so.Calling out 1620 places, 926 uses of USSG gateway comprise that SMS_ carrying data (SMS_BearData) parameter of USSD notice and SMS_BTTI builds mapping SMDPP and calls (MAP SMDPP INVOKE) message, and send these message to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, USSD gateway 926 can start SMT.When MSC/MSCe 924 receives SMDPP INVOKE (SMDPP calls) message, MSC/MSCe 924 determines whether this request is authorized to and whether for broadcasting, if words, calling out 1622 places so, MSC/MSCe 924 is used USSD RELEASE (USSD release) to come to send SMDPP message to USSD gateway 926, now can stop SMT.

Calling out 1624 places, MSC/MSCe 924 can build IOS ADDS paging.The data burst type of ADDS user data information unit is set to USSD.The SMS_ carrying data parameters that mapping SMDPP calls is for creating the application data message of ADDS user data information unit.MSC/MSCe 924 sends IOS ADDS paging to RAN/PCF 910.MSC/MSCe 924 can start timer T3113 based on paging request.When RAN/PCF 910 receives IOS:ADDS beep-page message, calling out 1626 places, RAN/PCF 910 sends acknowledge message via IOS:ADDS paging Ack to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, MSC/MSCe 924 can stop timer T3113.Then, calling out 1628 places, RAN/PCF 910 sends broadcast triggering message to the M2M equipment 902 being included in broadcast address via USSD notice on common signal channel.M2M equipment 902 builds USSD with layer 2 Ack and discharges (USSD RELEASE) message in calling out 1630, and sends it to RAN/PCF 910.Then, as described above with reference to Figure 11, in calling out 1632,1634 and 1636, the M2M equipment 902 of broadcast group can by set up PPP session or similarly session initiate the communication link with M2M server 916, and send data with M2M server 916.

In one aspect of the method, the transmission of Short Message Service (SMS) message can be for the M2M device trigger in cellular network.In one aspect, in order to improve, use SMS message to transmit to carry out M2M device trigger, for point-to-point triggering, can definition regulation for the telecommunications service of the SMS message transfer mode of M2M device trigger.In one aspect, telecommunications service can be called as radio equipment to machine telecommunications service (WMMT).M2M equipment 920 and M2M application 928 can transmit M2M trigger process by WMMT telecommunications service.According to the size that triggers message, when MSC/MSCe 924 is used WMMT as the telecommunications service of appointment during from MC/SMS-SC 920 receipt message, MSC/MSCe 924 can be used control/paging channel or Traffic Channel.

Figure 17 is used device trigger telecommunications service on common signal channel, to use the call flow diagram of the exemplary call flow that the point-to-point machine of Short Message Service (SMS) message triggers machinery equipment.As shown in the figure, the initial M2M facility registration in calling out 1702,1704,1706 and 1708 can occur as described above with reference to Figure 11.Calling out 1710 places, M2M server 916 can send message to trigger M2M equipment 902 to M2M-IWF 918.Calling out 1712 and 1714 places, M2M-IWF 918 can send message to obtain international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) from HLR 922.In certain aspects, can use another identifier.Calling out 1716 places, M2M-IWF 918 can be after HLR 922 obtains IMSI, in the SMDPP message of indication WMMT telecommunications service to MC/SMS-SC 920 transmitting apparatus trigger request.Now, M2M-IWF 918 can start short message timer (SMT).Calling out 1718 and 1720 places, MC/SMS-SC 920 obtains the network address of M2M equipment 902 from HLR.In one aspect, can use SMS request message.Calling out 1722 places, MC/SMS-SC 920 can be used and comprise that SMS_ carrying data (SMS_BearData) parameter that triggers message and the indication of WMMT telecommunications service builds mapping SMDPP and calls (MAP SMDPP INVOKE) message, and sends these message to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, MC/SMS-SC 920 can start SMT.

Receiving after SMDPP calls (SMDPP INVOKE) message, MSC/MSCe 924 determines that by checking user profiles the whether authorized use SMS of user serves, and uses this SMS to carry out M2M device trigger.If the size of SMS message is also little, so not necessarily to use Traffic Channel.Calling out 1724 places, MSC/MSCe 924 can build IOS ADDS paging (IOS ADDS Page) and send and will be transmitted to via RAN/PCF 910 message of M2M equipment 920.IOS ADDS paging (IOS ADDS Page) can comprise triggering message, WMMT telecommunications service and service type.MSC/MSCe 924 can start timer T3113 based on paging request.Calling out 1726 places, then RAN/PCF 910 transmitting apparatus on common signal channel triggers message.In certain aspects, on common signal channel, send the SMS message with trigger request and can allow performance to improve, because for example do not need reservation of resource for setting up Traffic Channel.Yet, in one aspect in, can the data volume in the SMS message of transmitting on common signal channel be limited to some extent.

Then, as call out in 1728 indicatedly, M2M equipment 902 can be confirmed to receive by send layer 2 Ack to RAN/PCF 910.After this, calling out 1730 places, RAN/PCF 910 builds and sends IOS ADDs paging Ack to MSC/MSCe 924.Now, can stop T3113 timer.MSC/MSCe 924 confirms that to MC/SMS-SC 920 mapping SMDPP (MAP SMDPP) calls by building empty mapping smdpp (MAP smdpp).Now, SMT can be stopped by MC/SMS-SC 920.Receiving empty SMDPP mapping (SMDPP MAP) afterwards, calling out 1734 places, MC/SMS-SC 920 can send mapping smdpp (ACK) to M2M-IWF 918.Then, M2M-IWF 918 can stop SMT.
