Abstract

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 updated idle mode parameter information for machine-to-machine (M2M) devices in an M2M group by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a paging message including an identifier related to a M2M group and an indicator instructing each M2M device of the M2M group to perform a ranging for a location update or a network re-entry, the paging message further including an uplink forbidden time and a start offset of the uplink forbidden time from an end of paging listening interval;

wherein the uplink forbidden time represents a time duration to prohibit an M2M device from transmitting a ranging request message for the location update or the network re-entry within a paging unavailable interval,

receiving the ranging request message including a ranging purpose from each M2M device of the M2M group based upon the paging message, the ranging purpose indicating an idle mode location update; and

transmitting a ranging response message in response to the ranging request message, the ranging response message including an indicator indicating a success of the idle mode location update and updated idle mode parameter information.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

the paging message comprises AAI-PAG-ADV message,

the ranging request message comprises AAI-RNG-REQ message, and

the ranging response message comprises AAI-RNG-RSP message.

2. A method of receiving updated idle mode parameter information for machine-to-machine (M2M) devices in an M2M group by an M2M device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a paging message including an identifier related to an M2M group and indicator instructing M2M devices in the M2M group to perform ranging for a location update or a network re-entry, the paging message further including an uplink forbidden time and a start offset of the uplink forbidden time from an end of paging listening interval;

wherein the uplink forbidden time represents a time duration to prohibit an M2M device from transmitting a ranging request message for the location update or the network re-entry within a paging unavailable interval,

transmitting the ranging request message including a ranging purpose when the M2M device belongs to the M2M group based upon the paging message, the ranging purpose indicating an idle mode location update; and

receiving a ranging response message in response to the ranging request message, the ranging response message including an indicator indicating a success of the idle mode location update and updated idle mode parameter information.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

updating an idle mode parameter based on the updated idle mode parameter information included in the ranging response message.

7. The method according to claim 2, wherein:

the paging message comprises AAI-PAG-ADV message,

the ranging request message comprises AAI-RNG-REQ message, and

the ranging response message comprises AAI-RNG-RSP message.

4. A base station for transmitting updated idle mode parameter information for machine-to-machine (M2M) devices in an M2M group in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a paging message including an identifier related to a M2M group and indicator instructing each M2M device of the M2M group to perform a ranging for a location update or a network re-entry, the paging message further including an uplink forbidden time and a start offset of the uplink forbidden time from an end of paging listening interval;

wherein the uplink forbidden time represents a time duration to prohibit an M2M device from transmitting a ranging request message for the location update or the network re-entry within a paging unavailable interval,

a receiver configured to receive the ranging request message including a ranging purpose from each M2M device of the M2M group based upon the ranging request message, the ranging purpose indicating an idle mode location update; and

wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit a ranging response message in response to the ranging request message, the ranging response message including an indicator indicating a success of the idle mode location update and updated idle mode parameter information.

5. A machine-to-machine (M2M) device for receiving updated idle mode parameter information for M2M devices in an M2M group in a wireless communication system, the M2M device comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a paging message including an identifier related to a M2M group and indicator instructing M2M devices of the M2M group to perform a ranging for a location update or a network re-entry, the paging message further including an uplink forbidden time and a start offset of the uplink forbidden time from an end of paging listening interval;

wherein the uplink forbidden time represents a time duration to prohibit an M2M device from transmitting a ranging request message for the location update or the network re-entry within a paging unavailable interval,

a transmitter configured to transmit the ranging request message including a ranging purpose based upon the paging message when the M2M device belongs to the M2M group, the ranging purpose indicating an idle mode location update; and

wherein the receiver is further configured to receive a ranging response message in response to the ranging request message, the ranging response message including an indicator indicating a success of the idle mode location update and updated idle mode parameter information.
