Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+); Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS); LTE; Service requirements for Machine-Type Communications (MTC); Stage 1 (V10.4.0; 3GPP TS 22.368 version 10.4.0 Release 10)
The present document specifies the service requirements for Network Improvements for Machine Type Communications. In particular it will: - identify and specify general requirements for machine type communications; - identify service aspects where network improvements (compared to the current human-to-human oriented services) are needed to cater for the specific nature of machine-type communications; - specify machine type communication requirements for these service aspects where network improvements are needed for machine type communication.
