Abstract
Disclosed in the present invention are a Machine Type Communication event reporting method, device and system. The method includes: a mobility management network element acquires identifier information of an MTC server corresponding to an MTC device from a user subscription server; the mobility management network element sends the identifier information to an MTC event reporting entity; and the MTC event reporting entity reports an MTC event of the MTC device to the MTC server corresponding to the identifier information. By way of the present invention, the MTC event report can be sent to a correct MTC server, so that the MTC server can effectively monitor the MTC device.
Claims16
A Machine Type Communication (MTC) event reporting method, comprising:
- a mobility management network element acquiring identifier information of an MTC server corresponding to an MTC device from a user subscription server;
- the mobility management network element sending the identifier information to an MTC event reporting entity;
- and
- the MTC event reporting entity reporting an MTC event report of the MTC device to the MTC server corresponding to the identifier information;
- wherein the MTC event reporting entity is a policy and charging rules function entity (PCRF), and the mobility management network element sending the identifier information to the MTC event reporting entity comprises:
- when establishing a bearer for the MTC device, the mobility management network element carries the identifier information in a bearer establishment request to send to a core network gateway, and the core network gateway sending the identifier information to the PCRF by requesting policy and charging control from the PCRF;
- or
- the mobility management network element sending the identifier information to the core network gateway when sending the MTC event report to the core network gateway, and the core network gateway sending the identifier information to the PCRF when sending the MTC event report to the PCRF.
A Machine Type Communication (MTC) system, comprising:
- a user subscription server, configured to send to a mobility management network element identifier information of an MTC server corresponding to an MTC device;
- the mobility management network element, comprising a first hardware processor, configured to send the identifier information to an MTC event reporting entity;
- and
- the MTC event reporting entity, comprising a second hardware processor, configured to report an MTC event report of the MTC device to the MTC server corresponding to the identifier information;
- wherein the MTC event reporting entity is a policy and charging rules function entity (PCRF), and the first hardware processor sending the identifier information to the MTC event reporting entity comprises:
- when establishing a bearer for the MTC device, the mobility management network element carries the identifier information in a bearer establishment request to send to a core network gateway, and the core network gateway sending the identifier information to the PCRF by requesting policy and charging control from the PCRF;
- or
- the first hardware processor sending the identifier information to the core network gateway when sending the MTC event report to the core network gateway, and the core network gateway sending the identifier information to the PCRF when sending the MTC event report to the PCRF.
