Abstract

Provided is a method of transmitting data in at least one machine type communication (MTC) device belonging to an MTC group identified by a unique identity according to application features. The method includes setting, by at least one MTC device belonging to the MTC group, unique transmission latency; waiting, by the MTC device, for the set transmission latency and then receiving information on uplink resources allocated to each MTC group identity from a base station; and transmitting, by the MTC device, uplink data using the allocated uplink resources.

Claims

1. A method of transmitting data in at least one machine type communication (MTC) device belonging to an MTC group, the MTC group being identified by a unique identity according to application features, the method comprising:

setting, by each MTC device, unique transmission latency;

waiting for the set transmission latency and receiving information on uplink resources allocated to each MTC group identity from a base station; and

transmitting uplink data using the allocated uplink resources.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmission latency uniquely set for each MTC device is selected and set with a random variable for each MTC device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmission latency uniquely set for each MTC device is selected and set with an offset differently set for each MTC device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the MTC group includes at least one MTC device having the same application execution period and start and end points of time.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the MTC group identity is an MTC group cell radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) differently set for each MTC group.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the information on uplink resources allocated to each MTC group identity is transmitted to the MTC device via a downlink control channel by the base station.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the uplink data transmitted by the MTC device includes C-RNTI information of the MTC device.

8. A mobile communication system for providing machine type communication (MTC) service, the mobile communication system comprising:

a base station configured to assign a unique identity to each of MTC groups classified according to application features, allocate uplink resources to each MTC group identity, and transmits information on the uplink resources allocated to each MTC group identity; and

at least one MTC device belonging to one MTC group, the MTC device being configured to set a unique transmission latency, wait for the set latency, receive information on the uplink resources allocated to each MTC group identity from the base station, and transmit data to the base station using the allocated uplink resources.

9. The mobile communication system of claim 8, wherein the transmission latency uniquely set for each MTC device is selected and set with a random variable for each MTC device.

10. The mobile communication system of claim 8, wherein the transmission latency uniquely set for each MTC device is selected and set with an offset differently set for each MTC device.

11. The mobile communication system of claim 8, wherein the MTC group includes at least one MTC device having the same application execution period and start and end points of time.

12. A base station communicating with at least one machine type communication (MTC) device, wherein the base station assigns a unique identity to each of MTC groups classified according to application features, allocates uplink resources to each MTC group identity, and transmits information on the uplink resources allocated to each MTC group identity via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

13. The base station apparatus of claim 12, wherein the MTC group identity is an MTC group C-RNTI differently set for each MTC group.

14. The base station apparatus of claim 12, wherein the MTC group includes at least one MTC device having same application execution period and start and end points of time.

15. A machine type communication (MTC) device communicating with a base station in a mobile communication network providing an MTC service, wherein:

the MTC device sets a transmission latency, waits for the set latency, receives information on uplink resources allocated to each MTC group identity from a base station, and transmits uplink data using the allocated uplink resources, and

the transmission latency uniquely set for at least one MTC device belonging to the same MTC group is selected with a random variable for each MTC device or with an offset differently set from at least another MTC device belonging to the same MTC group.

16. The MTC device of claim 15, wherein the uplink data transmitted by the MTC device includes C-RNTI information of the MTC device.
