Devices and methods for adjusting resource management procedures in a User Equipment (UE) machine device communicating with one or more nodes in a communication network. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, during a first time period, the number of handovers, N, for the UE from a serving node to a different node. The method further includes comparing the value, N, to a threshold, wherein if the value, N, is greater than the threshold, mobility pattern information for the UE includes an indication of high mobility, and if the value, N, is less than or equal to the threshold, the mobility pattern information includes an indication of low mobility. The method also includes transmitting machine device capability information, including the indicated mobility pattern information, to be used for determining an adjustment to a resource management procedure for the UE.
