Methods and devices for adjusting resource management procedures based on machine device capability information

A node operable in a communication network to transmit messages to and receive messages from a machine device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor;
• a network interface coupled to the processor;
• a transceiver coupled to the network interface;
• and
• an antenna coupled to the transceiver configured to transmit and receive messages;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a first message from the machine device, the first message including machine device capability information;
• process the received machine device capability information to determine an adjustment to a resource management procedure;
• and
• transmit a second message to the machine device, the second message including the determined resource management procedure adjustment.

A method for adjusting resource management procedures in a machine device communicating with a node in a communication network, the method comprising:

• identifying machine device capability information for transmission to the node;
• transmitting a first message to the node, the first message including the machine device capability information;
• receiving a second message from the node, the second message including a determined adjustment to a resource management procedure;
• and
• adjusting the resource management procedure based on the received determined adjustment.
