Machine type communication monitoring framework for 3GPP systems
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A 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 network element comprising:
- a memory device;
a processor operatively coupled to the memory device and configured to;
receive a monitoring request message to configure a monitoring event on the network element, the monitoring request message indicates a monitoring type and originates from a services capability server (SCS) or an application server (AS) configured to receive the MTC;
examine the monitoring request message to enable the monitoring event based on the monitoring type; and
provide 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 non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receive 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; determine whether the monitoring request may be used for configuring the monitoring event on a network element comprising a mobility management entity (MME), a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN), or a home subscriber service (HSS) node; and send 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)
