Desynchronized network access in M2M networks

A user equipment (UE) configured to desynchronize an uplink transmission, the UE comprising:

• a processor configured to determine a mechanism for the UE to use to send an uplink transmission to a network when entering an active mode from an inactive mode, wherein the mechanism comprises the UE determining a transmission window based on a reporting periodicity and a delay tolerance;
• and
• a transmitter configured to send the uplink transmission to the network at a transmission time indicated by the mechanism,
• wherein the transmission time is desynchronized from other UEs, and
• wherein the transmission time is within the transmission window.

A method to desynchronize an uplink transmission, the method comprising:

• determining, by a user equipment (UE) in an inactive mode, a mechanism for the UE to use to send an uplink transmission to a network when entering an active mode, wherein the mechanism comprises the UE determining a transmission window;
• sending, by the UE, the uplink transmission to the network at a transmission time indicated by the mechanism,
• wherein the transmission time is desynchronized from other UEs, and
• wherein the transmission time comprises a random time within the transmission window, the random time chosen by the UE.

New A method to desynchronize an uplink transmission, the method comprising:

• determining, by a user equipment (UE) in an inactive mode, a mechanism for the UE to use to send an uplink transmission to a network when entering an active mode, wherein the mechanism comprises setting a transmission time to a time indicated in a multicast message received from a base station;
• and
• sending, by the UE, the uplink transmission to the network at the transmission time,
• wherein the time is provided in a mapping that maps the UE to the time,
• wherein the transmission time is desynchronized from other UEs, and
• wherein the mapping provides the UE with contention free access to the network.
