Abstract

A method and device for operating in an idle mode for Machine To Machine (M2M) communication are provided. A M2M device receives a paging message indicating a resource allocation for a ranging request. The M2M device monitors assignment information including the resource allocation for the ranging request. Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits of the assignment information are masked with a part of a M2M identifier. The assignment information includes an identifier type indicating that the M2M identifier is a fixed M2M deregistration identifier (FMDID) or a deregistration identifier (DID).

Claims

1. A method for operating in an idle mode for Machine To Machine (M2M) communication, comprising:

entering, by a M2M device, into an idle mode;

receiving, by the M2M device in the idle mode, a paging message from a base station, the paging message including a network access type and a resource offset, the network access type indicating a resource allocation for a ranging request, the resource offset indicating an offset that the M2M device starts to monitor assignment information; and

monitoring, by the M2M device, the assignment information beginning from the offset,

wherein cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits of the assignment information are masked with a first part of a M2M identifier,

wherein the assignment information includes an identifier type and a second part of the M2M identifier, and

wherein the identifier type indicates that the M2M identifier is a fixed M2M deregistration identifier (FMDID) or a deregistration identifier (DID), the FMDID being a 16-bit identifier that uniquely identifies the M2M device in domain of the base station, the DID being a 18-bit identifier that uniquely identifies the M2M device in domain of a paging group.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein when the identifier type indicates that the M2M identifier is the FMDID, the first part of the M2M identifier includes least significant bit (LSB) 12 bits of the FMDID and the second part of the M2M identifier includes most significant bit (MSB) 4 bits of the FMDID.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the FMDID is assigned to the M2M device by the base station during an idle mode entry and is released during a network reentry.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein when the identifier type indicates that the M2M identifier is the DID, the first part of the M2M identifier includes LSB 12 bits of the DID and the second part of the M2M identifier includes MSB 6 bits of the DID.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier type has a size of 1 bit.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the M2M device, the assignment information when the assignment information is successfully decoded; and

transmitting, by the M2M device, the ranging request to the base station by using a resource allocation in the assignment information.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the paging message further includes a M2M group identifier that identifies a M2M group to which the M2M device belongs.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the paging message further includes a monitoring duration indicating a time duration that the M2M device monitors the assignment information.

9. A wireless device configured for operating in an idle mode for Machine To Machine (M2M) communication, comprising:

a radio frequency unit for receiving and transmitting a radio signal; and

a processor operatively coupled with the radio frequency unit and configured to;

enter into an idle mode;

receive, at the idle mode, a paging message from a base station, the paging message including a network access type and a resource offset, the network access type indicating a resource allocation for a ranging request, the resource offset indicating an offset that the M2M device starts to monitor assignment information; and

monitor the assignment information beginning from the offset,

wherein cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits of the assignment information are masked with a first part of a M2M identifier,

wherein the assignment information includes an identifier type and a second part of the M2M identifier, and

wherein the identifier type indicates that the M2M identifier is a fixed M2M deregistration identifier (FMDID) or a deregistration identifier (DID), the FMDID being a 16-bit identifier that uniquely identifies the wireless device in domain of the base station, the DID being a 18-bit identifier that uniquely identifies the wireless device in domain of a paging group.

10. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein when the identifier type indicates that the M2M identifier is the FMDID, the first part of the M2M identifier includes least significant bit (LSB) 12 bits of the FMDID and the second part of the M2M identifier includes most significant bit (MSB) 4 bits of the FMDID.

11. The wireless device of claim 10, wherein the FMDID is assigned to the wireless device by the base station during an idle mode entry and is released during a network reentry.

12. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein when the identifier type indicates that the M2M identifier is the DID, the first part of the M2M identifier includes LSB 12 bits of the DID and the second part of the M2M identifier includes MSB 6 bits of the DID.

13. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the identifier type has a size of 1 bit.

14. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive the assignment information when the assignment information is successfully decoded; and

transmit the ranging request to the base station by using a resource allocation in the assignment information.

15. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the paging message further includes a M2M group identifier that identifies a M2M group to which the M2M device belongs.
