    Abstract: A method and a network node for supporting a connection between a User Equipment (UE) and a Machine Type Communication-interworking function (MTC-IWF) are discussed. The method according to an embodiment includes receiving, by the network node from the MTC-IWF, a mobile terminated (MT) message including a triggering payload by using a specific reference point; forwarding, by the network node to the UE, the trigger payload, if the trigger payload contains an application identifier which allows the network node and which distinguishes the MT message carrying device triggering information from any other type of MT message; and receiving a response message, which corresponds to the trigger payload, for initiating communication with the server, if the application identifier which allows the UE distinguishes the MT message carrying device triggering information from any other type of MT message.

    Abstract: Provided in one disclosure of the present specification is a method for relaying a proximity service-based group communication by user equipment (UE) which can operate as a repeater. The method comprises the steps of: confirming whether downlink media of a plurality of group communications is transmitted from a network node according to a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) technique; determining whether all of the downlink media of the plurality of group communications can be received according to the MBMS technique; determining a specific group communication of which the downlink media is to be received according to the MBMS technique, based on priority among the group communications and the number of relayed UEs, when all of the downlink media of the plurality of group communications cannot be received according to the MBMS technique; and receiving, according to the MBMS technique, the downlink media of the specific group communication which has been determined and relaying same.
