Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided that may enable the facilitation of using a mobile terminal as a mobile gateway to integrate with a machine-to-machine (M2M) network. Communication with a user terminal that is stationary may therefore be optimized or simplified by providing mechanisms by which the user terminal may communicate its stationary status to the network. The network may then adjust communication configurations involving the user terminal based on the knowledge of the user terminal's status.
