Method for paging-based delgate indication for M2M group

A method, comprising:

• sending from a base station in a wireless network to at least one machine-to-machine-type (M2M-type) device information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be a delegate for group network reentry for a group of M2M-type devices with which the at least one M2M-type device is associated;
• and
• receiving M2M-type group-based network reentry communication from the at least one M2M-type device;
• wherein the information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be the delegate comprises a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and wherein the information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be the delegate is contained in a Device Deregistration type field of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.

A method, comprising:

• receiving from a base station in a wireless network at least one machine-to-machine-type (M2M-type) device information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be a delegate for group network reentry for a group of M2M-type devices with which the at least one M2M-type device is associated;
• generating a M2M-type group-based reentry communication in response to the received information designating the M2M-type device to be the delegate;
• and
• sending the M2M-type group-based reentry communication to the base station;
• wherein the information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be the delegate comprises a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and wherein the information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be the delegate is contained in a Device Deregistration type field of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.

An article comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, if executed, result in at least the following:
• sending from a base station in a wireless network to at least one machine-to-machine-type (M2M-type) device information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be a delegate for group network reentry for a group of M2M-type devices with which the at least one M2M-type device is associated;
• and
• receiving an acknowledgement message from the at least one M2M-type device;
• wherein the information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be the delegate comprises a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and wherein the information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be the delegate is contained in a Device Deregistration type field of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.
