A non-access stratum (NAS) control protocol includes procedures for control plane cellular internet of things (CP-CIOT) service requests and attach requests. A user equipment (UE) in idle mode may transmit an NAS service request message including user data to a mobility management entity (MME) over the control plane. The MME extracts the user data from the NAS service request message and determines a type of the user data. The MME may forward non-IP data to a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) and forward IP data to a packet gateway.
