MTC终端 62 , 用于接收基站 61通过广播发送的触发信息, 且在确定触发信息中包含 对自身的触发指示信息时, 发起连接建立过程, 与基站 61进行通信。
通过以上技术方案可知, 本发明实施例中, 处于 detach状态的 MTC终端接收基站通 过广播发送的触发信息, 如果 MTC终端确定触发信息中包含对自身的触发指示信息, 则 发起连接建立过程, 与基站进行通信, 否则保持原状态。 因此, 本发明实施例可以使处于 detach状态的 MTC终端获得网络侧的触发信息,从而使 MTC终端在不进行通信时进入有 效节省电量的 detach状态,且在需要进行通信时能够从 detach状态被触发进入正常的连接 状态, 从而与网络侧进行通信。 本领域内的技术人员应明白, 本发明的实施例可提供为方法、 ***、 或计算机程序产 品。 因此, 本发明可釆用完全硬件实施例、 完全软件实施例、 或结合软件和硬件方面的实 施例的形式。 而且, 本发明可釆用在一个或多个其中包含有计算机可用程序代码的计算机 可用存储介盾 (包括但不限于磁盘存储器、 CD-ROM、 光学存储器等)上实施的计算机程 序产品的形式。
本发明是参照根据本发明实施例的方法、 设备(***)、 和计算机程序产品的流程图 和 /或方框图来描述的。 应理解可由计算机程序指令实现流程图和 /或方框图中的每一流 程和 /或方框、 以及流程图和 /或方框图中的流程和 /或方框的结合。 可提供这些计算机 程序指令到通用计算机、 专用计算机、 嵌入式处理机或其他可编程数据处理设备的处理器 以产生一个机器, 使得通过计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备的处理器执行的指令产生用 于实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和 /或方框图一个方框或多个方框中指定的功能的 装置。
这些计算机程序指令也可存储在能引导计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备以特定方 式工作的计算机可读存储器中, 使得存储在该计算机可读存储器中的指令产生包括指令装 置的制造品, 该指令装置实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和 /或方框图一个方框或多个 方框中指定的功能。
这些计算机程序指令也可装载到计算机或其他可编程数据处理设备上, 使得在计算机 或其他可编程设备上执行一系列操作步骤以产生计算机实现的处理, 从而在计算机或其他 可编程设备上执行的指令提供用于实现在流程图一个流程或多个流程和 /或方框图一个 方框或多个方框中指定的功能的步骤。
尽管已描述了本发明的优选实施例, 但本领域内的技术人员一旦得知了基本创造性概 念, 则可对这些实施例作出另外的变更和修改。 所以, 所附权利要求意欲解释为包括优选 实施例以及落入本发明范围的所有变更和修改。
显然, 本领域的技术人员可以对本发明进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本发明的精神和 范围。 这样, 倘若对本发明的这些修改和变型属于本发明权利要求及其等同技术的范围之 内, 则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
