First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for establishing a communication channel with a wireless communication device that is a machine type communication (MTC) device, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a base station, a first channel request from the wireless communication device;
transmitting, in response to the first channel request, an assignment reject message to the wireless communication device that comprises a wait state time period and is configured to place the wireless communication device into a wait state for the wait state time period;
generating a message that comprises a wait state override indicator in response to receiving an indication that the wait state of the wireless communication device needs overriding to allow communication with the wireless communication device, wherein the message is generated in response to reception of an urgent information message that comprises the wait state override indicator, the urgent information message initiated at a server outside a radio access network (RAN);
transmitting the message to the wireless communication device; and
establishing a communication channel with the wireless communication device based on the wait state override indicator.
