Abstract:
A dormant/idle mode operation of a plurality of cellular device(s) is offloaded using proximity radio interface to a second device having cellular capability so that a plurality of cellular devices can turn off the radio and baseband circuitry associated with the cellular capability, and save battery power. The second device to which the dormant/idle mode operation is offloaded acts like a proxy device for a plurality of cellular devices to perform at least one of the following functions on behalf of plurality of cellular devices: monitor network page, perform cell re-selection, perform tracking area update, or perform D2D transmission and reception, wherein the second device and the plurality of cellular devices are connected each other through a proximity radio interface.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a technology for a sensor network, a machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and the Internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure can be utilized for the intelligent service (a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or a connected car, healthcare, digital education, a retail business, a security and safety-related service or the like) on the basis of the technology. Embodiments of the present invention provide a device and a method for minimizing an overhead of a mobile communication network in a machine type communication (MTC) system and minimizing power consumption in devices for MTC. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a base station device of a mobile communication network for M2M communication comprises: a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a signal to/from a leader device among a plurality of devices for M2M communication; and a control unit for transmitting, to the reader device, a downlink control signal through the transceiver in at least one predetermined interval within a scheduling interval and receiving, from the reader device, an uplink signal through the transceiver at a specific time point determined from the predetermined interval within the scheduling interval.
