Abstract
The present specification provides a method for monitoring machine type communication (MTC). The method for monitoring MTC can comprise the steps of: receiving, by a new serving network node for monitoring, a context from a previous serving network node according to the movement of an MTC device; checking whether an indicator for the MTC monitoring is included in the context; and requesting for data related to an MTC monitoring event from another network entity on the basis of the indicator for the MTC monitoring which is included in the context and acquiring the same.
Claims15
A method of performing MTC (Machine Type Communication) monitoring, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a new serving network node to take charge of the MTC monitoring, a partial context instead of a full context from a previous serving network node according to the movement of an MTC device,
- wherein the partial context excludes information other than a part of information required for the MTC monitoring;
- checking whether an indicator related to another network entity for the MTC monitoring is included in the part of information of the partial context;
- and
- if the MTC device moves at a speed lower than a predetermined speed, requesting for data necessary to perform the MTC monitoring from the another network entity other than the previous serving network node on the basis of the indicator for the MTC monitoring.
An MTC (Machine Type Communication) monitoring network node comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a partial context instead of a full context from a previous serving network node for monitoring related to an MTC device,
- wherein the partial context excludes information other than a part of information required for the MTC monitoring;
- and
- a processor configured to check whether an indicator related to another network entity for the MTC monitoring is included in the part of information of the partial context,
- wherein if the MTC device moves at a speed lower than a predetermined speed, the processor requests for data necessary to perform the MTC monitoring from the another network entity other than the previous serving network node on the basis of the indicator for the MTC monitoring.
