Abstract
It is disclosed a method for supporting a machine-to-machine communication over a mobile communication network. The communication involves machine-to-machine devices that connect to the mobile communication network through a gateway including a transceiver module to connect to the mobile communication network over a radio link. The method includes determining whether a radio carrier is present over the radio link, and in the absence of the radio carrier, switching off the transceiver module for a first time period. After the first time period elapsed, the transceiver module is switched on for a second time period. The method further includes, after the second time period elapsed, repeating steps above. The first time period and the second time period are determined on the basis of a number of parameters whose value depend on at least one set of values provided to the gateway by the mobile communication network.
