Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose methods for identifying machine to machine (M2M) devices and services. Each device may indicate its M2M functionality either for each of the services performed by the device or for all of its services to a core network. The core network may report the M2M functionality of the device to other nodes in the network that may be involved with the M2M functionality of the device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: receiving, at a network apparatus of a network, a first signaling message from a first device, wherein the first signaling message includes a machine-to-machine (M2M) indicator having a boolean flag value that is changeable between multiple values, the multiple values including a first value and a second value, the first value indicating an M2M functionality for a service of the first device, the second…
