Abstract

A machine-to-machine-type (M2M-type) device and technique comprising a transceiver at an M2M-type device that receives from a base station a paging message designating the M2M-type device to be a delegate for a group of M2M-type devices. In response, a processor of the M2M-type device generates an acknowledgement and/or an M2M-type group-based reentry communication for the transceiver to send to the base station. The base station is part of wireless network that can comprise one of a Bluetooth-based standard wireless network, an IEEE 802.11-based standard wireless network, an IEEE 802.16-based standard wireless network, an IEEE 802.18-based wireless network standard, a 3GPP LTE-based wireless network standard, a 3GPP-based protocol wireless network, a 3GPP2 Air Interface Evolution (3GPP2 AIE) based wireless network standard, a UMTS-based protocol wireless network, a CDMA2000-based protocol wireless network, a GSM-based protocol wireless network, a cellular-digital-packet-data-based (CDPD-based) protocol wireless network, or a Mobitex-based protocol wireless network.

Claims (41)

1. A machine-to-machine-type (M2M-type) device, comprising:

a transceiver to receive, from a base station that is part of a wireless network, information designating the M2M-type device to be a delegate for group network reentry for a group of M2M-type devices with which the M2M-type device is associated, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive the information designation the M2M device to be a delegate for group reentry while the group of M2M-type devices are in an idle mode; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver to transmit to the base station a M2M-type group-based reentry communication in response to the received information designating the M2M-type device to be the delegate;

wherein the information designating the M2M-type device to be the delegate comprises information contained in a paging message received from the base station, wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and wherein the information designating the M2M-type device to be the delegate is contained in a Device Deregistration type field of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.

2. The M2M-type device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further capable of generating an acknowledgement message for the transceiver to send to the base station.

3. The M2M-type device according to claim 1 , wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and

wherein the group of the M2M-type devices is identified in a Machine Group ID (MGID) of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.

4. A method, comprising:

sending from a base station in a wireless network to at least one machine-to-machine-type (M2M-type) device information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be a delegate for group network reentry for a group of M2M-type devices with which the at least one M2M-type device is associated; and

receiving M2M-type group-based network reentry communication from the at least one M2M-type device;

wherein the information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be the delegate comprises a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and wherein the information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be the delegate is contained in a Device Deregistration type field of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising receiving an acknowledgement message from the at least one M2M-type device.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and

wherein the group of the M2M-type devices is identified in a Machine Group ID (MGID) of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.

7. A method, comprising:

receiving from a base station in a wireless network at least one machine-to-machine-type (M2M-type) device information designating the at least one M2M-type device to be a delegate for group network reentry for a group of M2M-type devices with which the at least one M2M-type device is associated;

generating a M2M-type group-based reentry communication in response to the received information designating the M2M-type device to be the delegate; and

sending the M2M-type group-based reentry communication to the base station;

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising sending an acknowledgement message from the at least one M2M-type device.

9. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising sending M2M-type group-based network reentry communications from the at least one M2M-type device to the base station.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and

wherein the group of the M2M-type devices is identified in a Machine Group ID (MGID) of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.

11. An article comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, if executed, result in at least the following:

receiving an acknowledgement message from the at least one M2M-type device;

12. The article according to claim 11 , further comprising receiving M2M-type group-based network reentry communication from the at least one M2M-type device.

13. The article according to claim 11 , wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and

wherein the group of the M2M-type devices is identified in a Machine Group ID (MGID) of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.

14. An article comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, if executed, result in at least the following:

generating a M2M-type group-based reentry communication in response to the received information designating the M2M-type device to be the delegate; and

sending the M2M-type group-based reentry communication to the base station;

15. The article according to claim 14 , further comprising sending an acknowledgement message from the at least one M2M-type device.

16. The article according to claim 14 , further comprising sending M2M-type group-based network reentry communications from the at least one M2M-type device to the base station.

17. The article according to claim 14 , wherein the paging message comprises an Advanced Air Interface-Paging Advertisement (AAI-PAG-ADV) message, and

wherein the group of the M2M-type devices is identified in a Machine Group ID (MGID) of the AAI-PAG-ADV message.
