Abstract
The present disclosure proposes a UE, a base station, and a MTC-IWF for implementing MTC group trigger messages through a Cell Broadcasting Service (CBS). The method includes a MTC (Machine Type Communication) server transmitting to a MTC Inter-working Function (MTC-IWF) a trigger payload. The trigger payload would be delivered by the MTC-IWF to a group of MTC devices through Cell Broadcasting Center (CBC) and network nodes. The trigger payload may include a group trigger message indicator which distinguishes the group trigger message from a normal warning message. In response to receiving the content of the trigger payload, the network would page a group of MTC devices. From the group trigger message indicator embedded in the paging message, each MTC device would be able to receive a group trigger message through new system information block of the broadcast information.
