    Abstract: According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for service-specific group message delivery to narrowband Internet of things (IoT) devices. The method includes operations performed by a network node including at least one processor. The operations include receiving, on a first interface, a request for service-specific group message delivery to narrowband IoT devices supporting a specified service. The operations further include generating, by the network node, a message for service-specific group message delivery for transmission on a second interface, the message including a NB-IoT service information parameter for identifying a narrowband IoT service provided by the narrowband IoT devices supporting the specified service. The operations further include transmitting, from the network node and on the second interface the message for service-specific group message delivery to narrowband IoT devices.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for machine type communications/Internet of things (MTC/IoT) device updating are described. One method for machine type communications (MTC) device software updating includes receiving, by a control plane network node including at least one processor and via non-Internet protocol data delivery (NIDD) or non-access stratum (NAS) messaging, hardware and software version information regarding an MTC device. The method includes identifying, by the control plane network node, that a software update is available for the MTC device. The method further includes, in response determining that a software update is available for the MTC device, transmitting, by the control plane network node and via NIDD or NAS messaging, the software update to the MTC device. The method further includes receiving, at the control plane network node and via NIDD or NAS messaging, status information regarding delivery of the software update to the MTC device or installation of the software update by the MTC device.
