MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATION MONITORING FRAMEWORK FOR 3GPP SYSTEMS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for a network element, the method comprising:
- receiving a monitoring request message to configure a monitoring event on the network element comprising a mobility management entity (MME) or a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN) for monitoring events associated with a user equipment (UE) configured to provide machine type communications (MTC) in a cellular network, the monitoring request message indicating a monitoring type and originates from a services capability server (SCS) or an application server (AS) configured to receive the MTC;
in response to the monitoring request message, enabling the monitoring event based on the monitoring type; and
providing a monitoring response message to acknowledge the monitoring request message.

Abstract
A 3GPP monitoring architecture framework provides monitoring event configuration, detection, and reporting for machine-type and other mobile data applications by configuring monitoring on a mobility management entity (MME), a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN), or a home subscriber service (HSS) node through existing interfaces, such as Tsp, T4, and T5 interfaces.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving from a node in a cellular network a monitoring request for monitoring event configuration of a monitoring event associated with a user equipment (UE) configured to provide machine type communications (MTC) in the cellular network; determining whether the monitoring request may be used for configuring the monitoring event on one or more of a mobility management entity (MME), a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN), or a home subscriber service (HSS) node; and sending to the node a monitoring response message to acknowledge acceptance or failure of the monitoring request. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
