Trigger control method, device and system of machine type communication terminal

Abstract

Provided are a machine type communications (MTC) terminal trigger control method, device, and system. The method comprises: when an MTC terminal in a connected state does not perform communication within a set period of time, sending power-saving instruction information to a network node, the power-saving instruction information being used to instruct the network node to configure paging period control information for the MTC terminal (101); the MTC terminal obtaining the paging period control information configured by the network node, and entering a power-saving state (102); the MTC terminal in a power-saving state periodically monitoring a paging channel according to the obtained paging period control information, and entering a connected state upon monitoring a paging message (103). The present invention can enable the MTC terminal to effectively save power when performing no communication, and enter a normal working state when required to perform communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a trigger control method, device and system for a machine-type communication terminal. Background technique [0002] Machine to Machine (M2M) communication is a trend of intelligent development in the future, and it is necessary to support Machine Type Communications (Machine Type Communications, MTC) function in the third generation mobile communication system and the long term evolution system. As a new type of communication concept, MTC aims to organically combine various types of communication technologies, such as: machine-to-machine communication, machine control communication, human-computer interaction communication, and mobile Internet communication, so as to promote social production and lifestyle. development of. MTC is also known as M2M communication or Internet of Things. The terminal with MTC function is called MTC terminal. The currently recognized MTC terminal has the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Applying MTC terminals to existing mobile communication networks, because MTC terminals have the characteristics of low mobility and low power consumption, and may not need to communicate for a long time, if the MTC terminals are kept in the attach state for a long time, periodic measurement, Operations such as monitoring paging and reporting cell updates will cause serious power consumption problems; if the MTC terminal is in a detach state, it will not be able to obtain trigger information from the network side, so that it will not be able to enter the connected state for communication
