METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING A PAGING MESSAGE IN M2M COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a paging message in machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a M2M device, a paging configuration to initiate an idle mode from a base station, the paging configuration includes information indicating a paging cycle, a first paging offset and a second paging offset;
monitoring, by the M2M device in the idle mode, a transmission of a paging message at the first paging offset of the paging cycle; and
if the paging message is not received at the first paging offset, monitoring, by the M2M device in the idle mode, the transmission of the paging message at the second paging offset of the paging cycle.

Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for monitoring a paging message in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. An M2M device receives a paging setup for initiating an idle mode from a base station. The paging setup includes information indicating a paging cycle, a first paging offset, and a second paging offset. In the idle mode, the M2M device monitors the transmission of a paging message at the first paging offset of the paging cycle. If the paging message is not received at the first paging offset, the M2M device monitors the transmission of the paging message at the second paging offset of the paging cycle.

8. A device for monitoring a paging message in machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, comprising:
-
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to receive and transmit radio signals; and a processor operably coupled to the RF unit and configured to; receive a paging configuration to initiate an idle mode from a base station, the paging configuration includes information indicating a paging cycle, a first paging offset and a second paging offset; monitor a transmission of a paging message at the first paging offset of the paging cycle; and if the paging message is not received at the first paging offset, monitor the transmission of the paging message at the second paging offset of the paging cycle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A device for transmitting a paging message in machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, comprising:
-
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to receive and transmit radio signals; and a processor operably coupled to the RF unit and configured to; transmit a paging configuration to allow a M2M device to initiate an idle mode, the paging configuration includes information indicating a paging cycle, a first paging offset and a second paging offset; transmit a paging message to the M2M device at the first paging offset of the paging cycle; and if a response to the paging message is not received from the M2M device, transmit the paging message to the M2M device at the second paging offset of the paging cycle. - View Dependent Claims (15)
