1. A trigger request delivery server comprising at least one hardware processor that executes:
- an interface module of a server side configured to receive a trigger request for triggering a terminal from a machine type communication (MTC) external server, wherein the trigger request includes (i) an identifier of the terminal to be triggered and (ii) a validity time to store the trigger request in a network when the trigger request is not delivered to the terminal;
a terminal identifier mapping module configured to;
determine whether the identifier of the terminal included in the trigger request is a mobile subscriber ISDN number (MSISDN) or a non-MSISDN identifier, wherein the non-MSISDN identifier includes at least one of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), a network access identifier (NAI), a session initiation protocol uniform resource identifier (SIP URI), and an Internet protocol (IP) address; and
map the identifier of the terminal to an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), capable of identifying in a mobile network, of the terminal when the identifier of the terminal is the non-MSISDN identifier; and
an interface module of a short message server side configured to;
generate a first short message using the trigger request and the IMSI of the terminal according to a short message service (SMS) protocol when the identifier of the terminal is the non-MSISDN identifier, wherein the first short message is generated to include the IMSI of the terminal such that the IMSI is used as information identifying the terminal in the mobile network,generate a second short message using the trigger request and the MSISDN of the terminal according to the SMS protocol when the identifier of the terminal is the MSISDN, wherein the second short message is generated to include the MSISDN of the terminal such that the MSISDN is used as information identifying the terminal in the mobile network, andtransmit the generated first short message or the generated second short message to a short message server such that the first short message or the second short message is delivered by the short message server to the terminal through the mobile network.

Abstract
The present application relates to a control function related to a trigger in a communication network for machine-type communication. A method for triggering a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving a trigger request message from a trigger request transmission server which transmits trigger requests from external servers; and transmitting the trigger request message to a terminal using a received short message, wherein transmission parameters of the short message indicates that the received short message is a short message for triggering a machine-type communication (MTC) apparatus.
