Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting and receiving parameter update information in a wireless communication system, and a device using the same. A machine to Machine (M2M) device for receiving parameter update information in a wireless communication system according to the present invention includes a receiver for receiving a first message, which includes information regarding the parameter update, from a base station. The information regarding the parameter update may include information indicating that a position update of M2M devices in a specific M2M group to which the M2M device belongs is required. The receiver may be further configured to transmit a second message including a position update request to the base station and receive a third message including position updated information on the M2M devices in the specific M2M group from the base station in response to the second message. The m2M device may further include a processor for performing a position update on the basis of the updated position information in the third message.

Claims

1. A method of transmitting parameter update information at a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a paging message including information related to a parameter update of at least one machine-to-machine (M2M) device to the at least one M2M device,

wherein the information related to the parameter update includes information indicating that a group parameter of a specific M2M group to be paged is updated.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

the group parameter indicated to be updated includes an M2M group identifier (ID) of the specific M2M group, and

the paging message further includes an updated M2M group ID.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the paging message is an M2M group paging message or an M2M individual paging message.

4. A method of receiving parameter update information at a machine-to-machine (M2M) device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a paging message including information related to a parameter update and an M2M group identifier from a base station,

wherein the information related to the parameter update includes information indicating that a group parameter of a specific M2M group to be paged is updated.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein:

the group parameter indicated to be updated includes an M2M group identifier (ID) of the specific M2M group, and

the paging message further includes an updated M2M group ID.

6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

updating the M2M group ID of the M2M device to the updated M2M group ID if the M2M group ID included in the paging message corresponds to the M2M device.

7. The method according to claim 4, wherein the paging message is an M2M group paging message or an M2M individual paging message.

8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the M2M group identifier includes an M2M group paging identifier.

9. A base station (BS) for transmitting parameter update information in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting a paging message including information related to a parameter update of at least one machine-to-machine (M2M) device to the at least one M2M device,

wherein the information related to the parameter update includes information indicating that a group parameter of a specific M2M group to be paged is updated.

10. A machine-to-machine (M2M) device for receiving parameter update information in a wireless communication system, the M2M device comprising:

a receiver for receiving a paging message including information related to a parameter update and an M2M group identifier from a base station,

wherein the information related to the parameter update information includes information indicating that a group parameter of a specific M2M group to be paged is updated.

11. The M2M device according to claim 10, wherein:

the group parameter indicated to be updated includes an M2M group identifier (ID) of the specific M2M group, and

the paging message further includes an updated M2M group ID.

12. The M2M device according to claim 11, further comprising:

a processor for updating the M2M group ID of the M2M device to the updated M2M group ID if the M2M group ID included in the paging message corresponds to the M2M device.

13. A method of transmitting parameter update information at a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a first message including information related to an idle-mode parameter update of at least one machine-to-machine (M2M) device to the at least one M2M device,

wherein the information related to the idle-mode parameter update includes information indicating that location update of M2M devices of a specific M2M group is performed.

14. The method according to claim 13, further comprising:

receiving a second message including a location update request from the at least one M2M device; and

transmitting a third message including location update information of M2M devices of the specific M2M group to the at least one M2M device in response to the second message.

15. A method of receiving parameter update information at a machine-to-machine (M2M) device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a first message including information related to a parameter update from a base station,

wherein the information related to the parameter update includes information indicating that location update of M2M devices of a specific M2M group to which the M2M device belongs is performed.

16. The method according to claim 15, further comprising:

transmitting a second message including a location update request to the base station; and

receiving a third message including location update information of M2M devices of the specific M2M group from the base station in response to the second message.

17. The method according to claim 16, further comprising:

performing location update based on the location update information included in the third message.

18. The method according to claim 16, wherein the first message is a paging message, the second message is a ranging request message and a third message is a ranging response message.

19. A base station (BS) for transmitting parameter update information in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting a first message including information related to an idle-mode parameter update of at least one machine-to-machine (M2M) device to the at least one M2M device,

wherein the information related to the idle-mode parameter update includes information indicating that location update of M2M devices of a specific M2M group is performed.

20. A machine-to-machine (M2M) device for receiving parameter update information in a wireless communication system, the M2M device comprising:

a receiver for receiving a first message including information related to a parameter update from a base station,

wherein the information related to the parameter update includes information indicating that location update of M2M devices of a specific M2M group to which the M2M device belongs is performed.
