The disclosure relates to a method for selecting a capillary network gateway for a machine device of a capillary network. The capillary network gateway is capable of data exchange between the machine device and a wireless network. The method comprises: acquiring information about a respective message box capability for two or more capillary network gateways of the capillary network; and selecting, for the machine device, the capillary network gateway based on the information about the message box capability. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding node, computer program and computer program product.

There is provided mechanisms for handling acknowledgements from nodes in a wireless radio ad-hoc network. A method is performed by a gateway of the wireless radio ad-hoc network. The method comprises transmitting radio signalling to nodes in the wireless radio ad-hoc network. The transmitted radio signalling is addressed to, and requiring acknowledgement from, at least one node in the wireless radio ad-hoc network. The method comprises receiving radio signalling from a node in the wireless radio ad-hoc network. The received radio signalling comprises one in-packet Bloom Filter comprising acknowledgement of the transmitted radio signalling from at least one of the nodes.
摘要:
A method in a network node of a communication network configured to manage command messages from at least one Machine Type Communication, MTC, device manager intended for an MTC device, comprises receiving command messages from the at least one MTC device manager, step (201). One or more command messages are merged into an MTC device message that comprises at least one command message, step (203). Originator information is associated with each command message in the MTC device message, step (205). The MTC device message is sent to an MTC device. The network node may further perform the steps of receiving an MTC device message from an MTC device, the MTC device message comprising at least one response message, step (301). The network node determines from receiver information contained in the MTC device message which one or more MTC device managers are to receive each of the at least one response message, step (303), and sends the at least one response message to each of the determined MTC device managers, step (305).
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to balancing load amongst different capillary-cellular gateways (24) to indirectly account for load attributable to self-managed devices (27) that are not directly managed by a management node (28). Embodiments include a method implemented by a management node (28) that directly manages managed device(s) (26) in capillary network(s) (16). The method comprises determining, for each of the managed device(s) (26), a weight metric that describes a collective load attributable to not only the managed device (26) but also to any self-managed devices (27) that connect to the cellular network (15) via the managed device (26). The method also comprises balancing load amongst the capillary-cellular gateways (24) based on the weight metrics, by requesting that at least one managed device (26) move its entire collective load to a different capillary-cellular gateway (24) or reduce its weight metric by shedding load.

The disclosure relates to a method for selecting a capillary network gateway for a machine device of a capillary network. The method comprises: acquiring a respective bearer service parameter for two or more capillary network gateways of the capillary network, each capillary network gateway being capable of data exchange between the machine device and a wireless network, and wherein the bearer service provides a backhaul connection in the wireless network; and selecting, for the machine device, a capillary network gateway based on the bearer service parameters. The disclosure relates to a corresponding node, computer program and computer program product.
