1. A network device included in an evolved packet core (EPC) for providing small data and device triggering enhancement (SDDTE), comprising:

  • memory for storing an SDDTE optimization container therein; and

    a processor, coupled to the memory, the processor arranged to analyze the SDDTE optimization container including parameters provided therein and to perform SDDTE optimization based on the parameters, wherein the parameters include an SDDTE optimization timer to set a time frame for small data to be held in the memory prior to transmission to a user equipment (UE), the processor to hold, in the memory, small data messages received during the time frame set by the SDDTE optimization timer upon receipt of a first small data message.
