Claim Text:
1. A method for combining two or more schedules in a machine to machine (M2M) communication system by an M2M server, comprising: receiving at least one schedule request from at least one M2M application, wherein the schedule request is configured to request measurement or report of a specific resource for a specific M2M device; if an M2M device identifier (ID) and resource ID contained in the schedule request are identical to those of a prestored M2M schedule, determining whether a first allowable interval for measurement or report contained in the schedule request overlaps with a second allowable interval for measurement or report of the prestored M2M schedule; and if it is determined that the first allowable interval overlaps with the second allowable interval, generating mapping information indicating the relationship between the schedule request and the prestored M2M schedule.
