Base station, machine-to-machine (m2m) terminal, method, and computer readable medium

A method for an eNodeB, the method comprising:

• performing communication with a User Equipment (UE) performing coverage enhancement;
• receiving, from a Mobility Management Entity (MME), an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message that includes at least one of:
• first information indicating whether the UE is stationary or mobile;
• second information regarding a power of the UE;
• and
• third information indicating a type of communication with the UE;
• and
• using the at least one of the first information, the second information and the third information to operate the communication with the UE.

An eNodeB comprising:

• a transceiver configured to perform communication with a User Equipment (UE) performing coverage enhancement;
• an S1 interface connected with a Mobility Management Entity (MME);
• and
• a processor configured to:
• receive, from MME via the S1 interface, an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message that includes at least one of:
• first information indicating whether the UE is stationary or mobile;
• second information regarding a power of the UE;
• and
• third information indicating a type of communication with the UE;
• and
• use the at least one of the first information, the second information and the third information to operate the communication with the UE.

A method for a Mobility Management Entity (MME), the method comprising:

• managing a mobility of a User Equipment (UE) performing coverage enhancement;
• and
• transmitting, to an eNodeB, an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message that includes at least one of:
• first information indicating whether the UE is stationary or mobile;
• second information regarding a power of the UE;
• and
• third information indicating a type of communication with the UE,
• wherein the at least one of the first information, the second information and the third information is used by the eNodeB to operate the communication with the UE.
