SMALL DATA TECHNIQUES AND CONFIGURATIONS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- one or more computer-readable media having instructions; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more computer-readable media and configured to execute the instructions to implement an interworking function (IWF) to;
receive, from a Machine Type Communication (MTC) server, a trigger request to trigger sending of a data payload over a wireless communication network, the data payload being smaller than a preconfigured threshold; and
send, in response to the trigger request over a reference point to a node comprising a Mobility Management Entity (MME) or a Serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Support Node (SGSN), a trigger notification to trigger sending of the data payload over the wireless communication network.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques and configurations for triggering transmission of data payloads in a wireless communication network. An apparatus may include one or more computer-readable media having instructions and one or more processors coupled with the one or more computer-readable media and configured to execute the instructions to implement an interworking function (IWF) to receive, from a Machine Type Communication (MTC) server, a trigger request to trigger sending of a data payload over a wireless communication network, the data payload being smaller than a preconfigured threshold, and send, in response to the trigger request over a reference point to a module including a Mobility Management Entity (MME) or a Serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Support Node (SGSN), a trigger notification to trigger sending of the data payload over the wireless communication network.

11. A method to indicate a delivery status of a device trigger message and a trigger payload, comprising:
-
transmitting a message from a user equipment (UE) adapted for machine type communication (MTC) in a public land mobile network (PLMN), to indicate reception of the device trigger message and the trigger payload, to a node comprising a mobile management entity (MME) or a serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Support Node (SGSN) adapted to receive a trigger from a MTC interworking function (MTC-IWF) over a first reference point, wherein the MTC-IWF is adapted to receive a trigger request over a second reference point from an MTC server, the trigger request comprising a trigger payload from the MTC server; and initiating, by the UE, communication with the MTC server. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
receiving, over a first reference point from a Machine Type Communication (MTC) server of a wireless communication network, a trigger request to trigger sending of a first data payload from the MTC server to user equipment (UE) or sending of a second data payload from the UE to the MTC server or both the sending of the first data payload from the MTC server and the sending of the second data payload from the UE to the MTC server, the UE being configured to wirelessly communicate with the wireless communication network via a GSM Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution (EDGE) Radio Access Network (GERAN), Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) or Evolved UTRAN (E-UTRAN), the first data payload and the second data payload being smaller than a preconfigured threshold; and in response to the trigger request, sending, over a second reference point to a node including a Mobility Management Entity (MME) or a Serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Support Node (SGSN), a trigger notification to trigger sending of the first data payload and/or the second data payload over the wireless communication network. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An apparatus, comprising:
-
one or more computer-readable media having instructions; and one or more processors coupled with the one or more computer-readable media and configured to execute the instructions to implement a first node including a Mobility Management Entity (MME) or a Serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Support Node (SGSN) of a wireless communication network to receive, a trigger notification to trigger sending of a data payload from a user equipment (UE) to a Machine Type Communication (MTC) server over the wireless communication network, the data payload being smaller than a preconfigured threshold; and send, in response to receiving the trigger notification, a message to indicate the trigger notification to the UE, the UE being configured to wirelessly communicate with the wireless communication network, the wireless communication network including a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Evolved HSPA (E-HSPA), or Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
