Abstract
Techniques to manage group control signaling for machine-to-machine (M2M) devices are described. An apparatus may comprise a processor circuit, and a M2M control component arranged for execution by the processor circuit to manage M2M group control signaling in a wireless network for multiple M2M devices in a M2M group, the M2M control component to generate a resource allocation for multiple M2M devices of a M2M group, generate a M2M group control message with the resource allocation, and send the M2M group control message to the M2M devices in the M2M group. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- assigning multiple machine-to-machine (M2M) devices to a M2M group represented by a M2M group identifier (MGID) in order to perform M2M group control signaling for a wireless network;
- generating a resource allocation for the M2M devices of the M2M group;
- generating a M2M group control message with the resource allocation;
- and
- sending the M2M group control message to the M2M devices in the M2M group with the MGID.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor circuit;
- and
- a machine-to-machine (M2M) control component arranged for execution by the processor circuit to manage M2M group control signaling in a wireless network for multiple M2M devices in a M2M group, the M2M control component to generate a resource allocation for multiple M2M devices of a M2M group, generate a M2M group control message with the resource allocation, and send the M2M group control message to the M2M devices in the M2M group.
At least one computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:
- generate a resource allocation for M2M devices of a M2M group;
- generate a M2M group control message with the resource allocation;
- and
- send the M2M group control message to the M2M devices in the M2M group.
