Method and apparatus for MTC in a wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method of initiating a communication with a network by a terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the terminal from the network, a mobile terminated (MT) message for initiating communication with the network;
routing, by the terminal, at least a portion of the MT message to an appropriate application within the terminal based on specific information included in the received MT message; and
initiating, by the terminal, a communication with the network based on the specific information included in the received MT message,wherein the specific information is used to distinguish the MT message from any other types of MT messages.

Abstract
A method and a network node for supporting a connection between a User Equipment (UE) and a Machine Type Communication-interworking function (MTC-IWF) are discussed. The method according to an embodiment includes receiving, by the network node from the MTC-IWF, a mobile terminated (MT) message including a triggering payload by using a specific reference point; forwarding, by the network node to the UE, the trigger payload, if the trigger payload contains an application identifier which allows the network node and which distinguishes the MT message carrying device triggering information from any other type of MT message; and receiving a response message, which corresponds to the trigger payload, for initiating communication with the server, if the application identifier which allows the UE distinguishes the MT message carrying device triggering information from any other type of MT message.
