Abstract
The period for Tracking Area Update (TAU) requests, that are made by Machine-to-machine (M2M) User Equipment (UE) in a wireless cellular network, may be dynamically modified. In one implementation, the period for the TAU request may be dynamically increased for M2M UEs that tend to be stationary. Increasing the period at which M2M UEs initiate TAU requests with the wireless network can reduce the amount of control signaling that needs to be performed over the radio links.
