SCHEME FOR MONITORING BATTERY OF MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. An operation method of a machine type communication device using a power stored in a battery, in a network comprising at least one machine type communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network apparatus included in the network, a residual power monitoring request with respect to the battery;
monitoring a residual power of the battery in response to the residual power monitoring request;
transmitting the monitored residual power of the battery to the network apparatus in response to the residual power monitoring request; and
receiving again a residual power monitoring request from the network apparatus based on the monitored residual power.

Abstract
Provided is a machine type communication system including a machine type communication device operating with a battery. The machine type communication system may monitor a residual power of the battery supplying power to the machine type communication device, and may output the monitored residual power to a device of a manager that manages the machine type communication device. Also, a point in time when the residual power of the battery is to be monitored may be determined based on the residual power.
