    摘要: This document discusses, among other things, a Cellular Internet-of-Things (CIoT) network architecture to enable communication between an apparatus of a CIoT User Equipment (UE) and a network through a CIoT enhanced Node B (eNB) according to a lightweight Non-Access Stratum (NAS) protocol. An apparatus of a CIoT eNB can process data for communication between the CIoT UE and the network. The lightweight NAS protocol supports a reduced set of NAS messages for communication between, for example, the CIoT UE and the CIoT eNB, such as using a modified NAS message, or one or more new messages.

    摘要: A cellular IoT (CIoT) device can comprise a coverage and/or processing constrained device e.g., devices operating primarily MTC or M2M (e.g., sensor devices, controller devices, etc.). These devices can have limited or no user interface, and can be used for machines or devices with little mobility. CIoT devices can be deployed in usage scenarios such as home automation (e.g., security, appliances, energy packages, etc.), industry automation, and smart cities with low-power devices (e.g., devices having a battery life of several years), and can be easily installed and operated in challenging coverage conditions, such as lower or basement levels of buildings. CIoT devices can be provisioned to connect to a cellular carrier network and an associated CSP. The CSP can execute end2end solutions (e.g., service portal, service sign-up, etc.) while the cellular carrier can provide the bulk data pipe to the CSP.

    摘要: Technology for a mobility management entity (MME) operable to facilitate paging message transmissions using a user equipment (UE) location is disclosed. The MME can process data received for a user equipment (UE) from a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF). The downlink data can include a public land mobile network (PLMN) UE location associated with the UE location. The MME can compare at least one of a time stamp and a granularity level of the PLMN UE location to existing location area information for the UE. The MME can determine to overwrite the existing location area information for the UE with the PLMN UE location. The UE can generate a paging message for transmission only to an eNodeB associated with the PLMN UE location, and the eNodeB can be configured to forward the paging message to the UE
