Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for small packet transmission in response to machine type communication (MTC) device trigger indication are provided. For uplink (UL) transmission of small packet from MTC device in idle state, a tracking area update (TAU) complete non-access stratum (NAS) message is used to protect integrity and confidentiality of UL small packet transmission without attach/service request procedure during idle state. For downlink (DL) transmission of small packet from MTC device in idle state, a TAU accept NAS message is used to protect integrity & confidentiality of DL small packet reception without attach/service request procedure during idle state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of transmitting data in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a machine type communication (MTC) device and comprising: transmitting a first tracking area update (TAU) request message via radio resource control (RRC) signaling; receiving, in response to the first TAU request message, a first TAU accept message via RRC signaling, wherein the first TAU accept message includes an MTC device triggering indication which is generated…
