    Abstract: Systems described herein use a group packet data network (PDN) to support communications from machine-type communications (MTC) devices on wireless networks. The systems assign a MTC device to a group with a group identifier, the group associating the MTC device, and other MTC devices, with a customer network; receive an attach request from the MTC device; retrieve the group identifier for the MTC device; configure a bearer path between the MTC device and the customer network based on the group identifier, the bearer path including a group PDN that transports data packets from the MTC device, and the other MTC devices, between a serving gateway (SGW) and a PDN gateway (PGW); and send data packets from the MTC device over the group PDN.

    Abstract: A device may detect an event associated with a user device. The event may include at least one of a data reachability event, a loss of connectivity event, or a loss of reachability event. The device may determine, based on detecting the event, event information associated with the event. The event information may include information that identifies a type of a packet data network (PDN) connection when the event includes a data reachability event. The event information may include information that identifies a reason for detachment from a network when the event includes a loss of connectivity event. The event information may include information indicating that one or more PDN connections have been closed when the event includes a loss of reachability event. The device may provide the event information for reporting to one or more devices that are to receive event reports associated with the user device.

    Abstract: A base station may include logic configured to determine system throughput values for a plurality of modulation and coding schemes based on data throughput values and based on a number of user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station; determine a modulation and coding scheme, of the plurality of coding schemes, that is associated with a highest system throughput; and determine radio frequency (RF) conditions associated with the base station. The logic may further be configured to define a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) area based on the determined RF conditions and the selected modulation and coding scheme and provide an update to the UE devices serviced by the base station, wherein UE devices located within the defined MBMS area are sent the update using MBMS and UE devices located outside the defined MBMS area are sent the update using unicast.
