MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATION PREREGISTRATION
First Claim
1. A method for use in a wireless communication network for performing machine to machine (M2M) communications, the method comprising:
- receiving a trigger to initiate a machine type communication (MTC) preregistration for one or more wireless/transmit receive units (WTRUs) in a group of WTRUs;
transmitting a service request to a network to perform the MTC preregistration for the one or more WTRUs in the group of WTRUs; and
receiving an acknowledgment from the network indicating the completion of MTC preregistration for the one or more WTRUs in the group of WTRUs.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for machine type communication (MTC) preregistration are provided. The methods provide single or periodic preregistrations and may be machine to machine (M2M) application function (AF) or device (MTC user equipment based). The devices in the system may be divided into groups and accessed by on a group Internet Protocol (IP) address. Two wake up cycles may be provided, one for control and one for uploading information (a reporting cycle). During the control cycle, the devices may wake up and listen to the control channel for any paging messages. Depending on the paging information, individual devices or the entire group may access the system. In the reporting cycle, all the devices may wake up and access the system to connect to the M2M system to upload data.
