Lightweight s-1 lite protocol design for cellular internet of things

A Cellular Internet of Things evolved Node B (CIoT eNB) comprising baseband processing circuitry including one or more processors to:

• process a Cellular Internet of Things Application Protocol (CIAP) setup request message received from a CIoT gateway (CIoT GW), wherein the CIAP setup request message is to configure a reduced signaling overhead between the CIoT eNB and the CIoT GW, or between the CIoT eNB and a CIoT user equipment (UE), or a combination thereof;
• and
• generate a CIAP setup response message to be transmitted to the CIoT GW in response to the CIAP setup request message.

A Cellular Internet of Things gateway (CIoT GW) comprising processing circuitry and memory to:

• generate a Cellular Internet of Things Application Protocol (CIAP) setup request message to be transmitted to a CIoT evolved Node B (CIoT eNB), wherein the CIAP setup request message is to configure a reduced signaling overhead between the CIoT eNB and the CIoT GW, or between the CIoT eNB and a CIoT user equipment (UE), or a combination thereof;
• and
• process a CIAP setup response message received from the CIoT eNB in response to the CIAP setup request message

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a Cellular Internet of Things evolved Node B (CIoT eNB), result in:

• processing a Cellular Internet of Things Application Protocol (CIAP) setup request message received from a CIoT gateway (CIoT GW), wherein the CIAP setup request message is to configure a reduced signaling overhead between the CIoT eNB and the CIoT GW, or between the CIoT eNB and a CIoT user equipment (UE), or a combination thereof;
• and
• generating a CIAP setup response message to be transmitted to the CIoT GW in response to the CIAP setup request message.
