Communication Configurations For A Machine Device

A machine device for communicating in a communication network, the machine device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the machine device is operative to:
• send, to a configuration determining device associated with the communication network, a report setting out the type of services it supports;
• and
• communicate in the communication network using communication configurations determined by the configuration determining device, which communication configurations have been determined based on the reported supported type of services.

A configuration determining device for providing configuration suggestions for communication of a machine device in a communication network, the configuration determining device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the configuration determining device is operative to:
• receive a report submitted by the machine device setting out the type of services supported by the machine device;
• determine communication configuration suggestions for the communication of the machine device in the communication network based on the supported type of services indicated in the report;
• and
• provide the communication configuration suggestions for allowing at least some of them to be implemented for use in communication performed by the machine device.
