TECHNIQUES FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INTERWORKING FUNCTION AND SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE NODES FOR DEVICE TRIGGER REPLACEMENT/RECALL
First Claim
1. A machine-type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) node, comprising:
- logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive a Device-Action-Request Diameter command comprising a device trigger replacement request, the Device-Action-Request Diameter command to contain a reference number for a device trigger to be replaced, the logic to transfer the device trigger replacement request by sending a Device-Trigger-Request Diameter command over a T4 interface, the Device-Trigger-Request Diameter command to comprise an Old-Reference-Number attribute-value pair (AVP) containing the reference number for the device trigger.

Abstract
Techniques to support device trigger replacement and/or recall are described. In one embodiment, for example, a machine-type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) node may comprise logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive a trigger adjustment request comprising a stored trigger identifier (ID), the trigger adjustment request constituting a request to adjust a stored device trigger associated with the stored trigger ID, select a trigger adjustment procedure for the stored device trigger based on the trigger adjustment request, and send a first T4 interface command over a T4 interface connection to initiate the selected trigger adjustment procedure. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

9. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause a machine-type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) node to:
-
transfer a received device trigger recall request by sending a Device-Trigger-Request command over a T4 interface connection, the Device-Trigger-Request command to comprise a Reference-Number attribute-value pair (AVP) containing a reference number for a device trigger to be recalled; receive a Device-Trigger-Answer command over the T4 interface connection in response to the Device-Trigger-Request command; and determine whether the device trigger has been successfully recalled based on the Device-Trigger-Answer command. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A short message service (SMS) service center (SMS-SC) node, comprising:
logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive a Device-Trigger-Request command over a T4 interface connection, the Device-Trigger-Request to comprise a request to replace a first device trigger with a second device trigger and to contain a reference number of the first device trigger and a reference number of the second device trigger, the logic to determine whether the first device trigger is pending and, in response to a determination that the first device trigger is pending, delete the first device trigger and store the second device trigger. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
