Abstract
An apparatus and method for supporting a location update registration process used for an idle mode operation of a Mobile Station (MS) in a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication are provided. The method includes determining whether a system global location update registration timer is applied to the MS, when it is determined that the global location update registration timer is not applied, determining a timer for updating a location when the MS operates in an idle mode, and transmitting a message including the timer to the MS.
Claims34
A method for an operation of a system controller in a system supporting Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, the method comprising:
- determining whether a system global location update registration timer is applied to a Mobile Station (MS);
- when it is determined that the global location update registration timer is not applied, determining a device-specific timer for updating a location when the MS operates in an idle mode;
- and
- transmitting a message comprising the device-specific timer to the MS.
A method for an operation of a Mobile Station (MS) in a system supporting Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, the method comprising:
- receiving a message comprising a device-specific timer for location update in an idle mode operation of the MS;
- and
- performing a location update registration process according to the device-specific timer.
An apparatus of a system controller in a system supporting Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller for determining whether a system global location update registration timer is applied to a Mobile Station (MS) and, for determining a device-specific timer for location update in an idle mode of the MS when it is determined that the global location update registration timer is not applied;
- and
- a transceiver for transmitting a message comprising the device-specific timer to the MS.
An apparatus of a Mobile Station (MS) in a system supporting Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving a message comprising a device-specific timer for location update in an idle mode operation of the MS;
- and
- a controller for performing a location update registration process according to the device-specific timer.
