Methods for grouping MTC devices in MTC networks are proposed. One of the proposed methods includes grouping femto MTC devices into femto groups and grouping macro MTC devices into macro groups, where each of the assigned groups has its granted interval for delivering MTC messages. In the proposed method, it may detect network overload of each group or unsuccessful access request of each device, and statistically count consecutively accumulated number of occurrence of the CN overload of each group or accumulated number of occurrence of unsuccessful access request retries of each device. The group numbers, cycle time, and access probability of the macro groups or the femto groups may be adjusted according to the aforementioned accumulated numbers. In addition, the macro groups or the femto groups are merged or split according to determination based on the statistical counts.
A method for grouping machine type communication (MTC) devices in heterogeneous networks, the method comprising:
A method for grouping MTC devices in heterogeneous MTC networks, the method comprising:
A communication method, adapted to a machine type communication (MTC) device in a heterogeneous network comprising a plurality of MTC devices, wherein MTC devices served by at least one macro cell base station are grouped into macro groups, MTC devices served by at least one femto cell base station are grouped into femto groups;
A communication method, adapted to a machine type communication (MTC) device in a heterogeneous MTC network comprising a plurality of MTC devices, wherein MTC devices served by at least one macro cell base station are grouped into macro groups, MTC devices served by at least one femto cell base station are grouped into femto groups, wherein MTC devices in each macro group transmit MTC data to the MTC server in an assigned macro granted interval, and MTC devices in each of femto group transmits MTC data to the MTC server in an assigned femto granted interval, and the method comprises:
