1. A network accessing method, comprising:
- selecting a group representative dynamically from each machine to machine (M2M) terminal group, wherein terminals in the M2M terminal group not selected as the group representative serve as group members; and
requesting, by the group representative, network access from a base station, and serving as a group member automatically after entering an idle state or entering another cell.

Abstract
A network accessing method includes selecting a group representative dynamically from each machine to machine (M2M) terminal group, wherein terminals in the M2M terminal group not selected as the group representative serve as group members. The method also includes requesting, by the group representative, network access from a base station, and serving, as a group member automatically after entering an idle state or entering another cell. This enables multiple M2M terminals to access a network at the same time while avoiding network access congestion.

14. A machine to machine (M2M) terminal group configured to perform a network accessing method, the M2M terminal group comprising:
a plurality of terminals, each terminal configured to; select a group representative for the M2M terminal group, wherein terminals in the M2M terminal group not selected as the group representative serve as group members; and request, when serving as the group representative, network access from a base station, and serve as a group member automatically after entering an idle state or entering another cell. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
