Method for establishing bearer for machine to machine service and network transmission device

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for establishing a bearer for a machine to machine service and a network transmission device. The method includes receiving a user plane resource establishment request message sent by an MTC device, where the user plane resource establishment request message includes at least one of MTC features, QoS requirements, a service indication request and a group identity; determining negotiated QoS parameters according to the user plane resource establishment request message; and establishing a transmission bearer with the MTC device according to the negotiated QoS parameters. The present invention provides a method for establishing a transmission bearer between a network and an MTC device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for establishing a machine to machine (M2M) service, comprising:
 receiving, by a machine type communication (MTC) terminal, a paging message sent by a network transmission device, the paging message being initiated by the network transmission device according to a group identity, the paging message carrying an indication information which indicates that a service is a network-assisted mobile originated (MO) service, and the indication information and the group identity being comprised in a protocol data unit (PDU) data packet received by the network transmission device from a MTC server;   obtaining, by the MTC terminal, an auxiliary information from the MTC server through establishing a dedicated bearer when the MTC terminal belongs to a group indicated by the group identity; and   performing, by the MTC terminal, a M2M service initiation requesting when service trigger conditions comprised in the auxiliary information are satisfied.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the service trigger conditions comprise a time window allowing service initiation and a location area allowing service initiation. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the dedicated bearer is a signal bearer or a data bearer. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the method further comprising:
 sending, by the MTC device, a packet data protocol (PDP) activation request message to the network transmission device, wherein the PDP activation request message has content including the group identity, and MTC terminals belonging to the group share common service features identified by the group identity; and   receiving, by the MTC terminal, negotiated quality of service (QoS) parameters determined by the network transmission device according to the group identity, and an internet protocol (IP) address allocated to the MTC terminal by the network transmission device according to the PDP activation request message.   
     
     
         5 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a transceiver; and   a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor configured to:
 receive a paging message sent by a network transmission device through the transceiver, the paging message being initiated by the network transmission device according to a group identity, the paging message carrying an indication information which indicates that a service is a network-assisted mobile originated (MO) service, and the indication information and the group identity being comprised in a protocol data unit (PDU) data packet received by the network transmission device are from a MTC server; 
 obtain an auxiliary information from the MTC server through establishing a dedicated bearer when the MTC terminal belongs to a group indicated by the group identity; and 
 perform a M2M service initiation requesting when service trigger conditions comprised in the auxiliary information are satisfied. 
   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the service trigger conditions comprise a time window allowing service initiation and a location area allowing service initiation. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the dedicated bearer is a signal bearer or a data bearer. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the processor configured to:
 send a packet data protocol (PDP) activation request message through the transceiver to the network transmission device, wherein the PDP activation request message has content including the group identity, and MTC terminals belonging to the group share common service features identified by the group identity; and   receive negotiated quality of service (QoS) parameters determined by the network transmission device according to the group identity, and an internet protocol (IP) address allocated to the MTC terminal by the network transmission device according to the PDP activation request message through the transceiver.
