Problems solved by technology

[0011] One problem, as recognized by the inventors, is that there will likely be a large number of M2M terminals, which typically send only a very limited amount of data per day but are distributed over time (e.g. hundreds of bytes per 1 / 4 hour, or even less, hourly)
The number of M2M devices managed via the mobile network is not very large at present, but it is foreseen that some applications (such as smart metering) may have to manage millions of new M2M devices in the near future

Embodiment Construction

[0023] From a high-level perspective, an M2M system can be generally expressed as figure 1 shown.

[0024] The background system contains the applications that manage the M2M devices and the data processed by them.

[0025] The M2M information system is responsible for managing the communication with the M2M devices via a specific communication network.

[0026] The communication network supports the transfer of data from / to the M2M device or the M2M gateway to / from the application. The network may comprise a public network (such as 3GPP, TISPAN or CDMA, etc.) or any other type of network (Ethernet or PLC (Power Line Communication), etc.).

[0027] An M2M gateway is a special M2M network element, which is responsible for managing some M2M devices via an M2M capillary network. There are many types of capillary networks (wired or wireless), depending on the kind of data processed, topology type, topography or extent, etc. For example, one of the main purposes of an M2M gatew...

Abstract

One object of the present invention is a method for handling Machine to Machine M2M services in a communication system, said method comprising a step of, for charging for IP Connectivity Access Network IP-CAN bearer services in said communication system, providing global charging information for a plurality of terminals using a same M2M service.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to communication networks and systems, such as wireless or mobile communication networks and systems. Background technique [0002] Descriptions of such networks and systems can be found in the literature, such as, inter alia, technical specifications published by standardization organizations. Examples of standardization organizations include 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and the like. [0003] In such systems, a terminal (such as a mobile station MS or user equipment UE) accesses communication services via an access network to support various user services and applications. [0004] One example of an access network is the IP Connectivity Access Network (IP-CAN), which provides IP connectivity to support various IP-based user services and applications. Examples of IP-CAN include GPRS (specifically specified in 3GPP TS 23.060) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC) (specifically specified in 3GPP TS 23.401)....
