Abstract

Procedures, mechanisms, methods, and techniques are provided that trigger power saving mode (PSM) functionality in the at least one wireless transmit receive units, group of WTRUs or subset of the group of WTRUs. The trigger may be in response to an application layer request to set one or more predetermined PSM settings, wherein the trigger originates from one or more application servers (APs) directed to a core network by way of an interface such as an SCEF that may be included on a device (e.g., a gateway, computing device, and/or the like) and may be configured for enabling the application server to request enabling and disabling PSM functionality.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A device configured to perform a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF), the device comprising:

a processor configured to:
receive a request to set one or more parameters for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the one or more parameters relating to a plurality of time values associated with a reachability of the WTRU, the request originating from an application server and being directed towards a core network associated with the device;
determine whether the request is acceptable based at least on whether the application server is authorized to make the request;
and
process the request based on whether the request is acceptable, wherein, based on a determination that the request is acceptable, the one or more parameters is indicated to the core network in accordance with the request, and wherein, based on a determination that the request is unacceptable, a response is sent to the application server, the response including a cause indicating why the request is unacceptable.
