The method further includes establishing a main communication session between the mobile router and the mobile communication network via the northbound interface, including authenticating the mobile router to the mobile communication network, and operating as a proxy for the plurality of MTC devices. Such operation includes relaying signaling between individual ones of the plurality of MTC devices and the mobile communication network via respective sub-sessions of the main communication session.
