Method and apparatus for machine-to-machine communication registration
First Claim
1. A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) which is configured for machine type communication (MTC), comprising:
- determining that the WTRU has a unique designation with respect to other members of the an MTC group, wherein only one WTRU from an MTC group has the unique designation, wherein the WTRU with the unique designation is allowed to act on behalf of other members of the group, wherein the determination that the WTRU has a unique designation is based on an event;
receiving a paging message;
determining that the paging message is a group paging message;
performing registration with a MTC server for all members of the MTC group in response to the paging message being a group paging message;
receiving connectivity information;
performing MTC service registration;
transmitting data to the MTC server;
receiving a control information update;
waiting for a last WTRU of the MTC group to transmit information;
entering a sleep cycle after the last MTC device transmits information; and
entering a wake up cycle and listening for system updates.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for Machine to Machine (M2M) communication registration. The methods provide single and periodic registration and may be device or network based. The devices in the system may be divided into groups. A single device member may perform the basic access steps for the group. Other devices may receive related access information on a control channel and use the information to access the system. The devices may send data, get updates, and then go to sleep. Internet addresses may be released or maintained. During a control cycle, the devices may wake up and listen to the control channel for any paging messages. Individual devices or the entire group may access the system. During a reporting cycle, all the devices may wake up and access the system to connect to the M2M system to upload data.

9. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for machine type communication (MTC), comprising:
-
a transmitter; a receiver; a processor in communication with the receiver and transmitter; the processor configured to determine that the WTRU has a unique designation with respect to other members of an MTC group, wherein only one WTRU from the MTC group has the unique designation, wherein the WTRU with the unique designation is allowed to act on behalf of other members of the group, wherein the determination that the WTRU has a unique designation is based on an event; the receiver configured to receive a paging message; the processor configured to determine that the paging message is a group paging message; the processor configured to perform registration with a MTC server for all members of the MTC group in response to the paging message being a group paging message; the receiver configured to receive connectivity information; the processor configured to perform MTC service registration; the transmitter configured to transmit data to the MTC server; the receiver configured to receive a control information update; the processor configured to wait for a last WTRU of the MTC group to transmit information; the processor configured to enter a sleep cycle after the last WTRU of the MTC group transmits information; and the processor configured to enter a wake up cycle and listen for system updates. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
