Abstract:
1. An identifier-sharing method for wireless communication devices, comprising: assigning, at a base station, an identical device identifier simultaneously to a plurality of wireless communication devices, wherein each of the wireless communication devices comprises one or more machine to machine (M2M) devices; assigning, at the base station, an identical valid periodicity parameter to all of the M2M devices sharing the identical device identifier; and assigning, at the base station, different valid offset parameters respectively to the all of the M2M devices sharing the identical device identifier to periodically and legally reuse the identical device identifier, wherein the valid periodicity parameter is an integer and is equal to or larger than a quantity of all of the M2M devices sharing the identical device identifier, and each of the valid offset parameters is an integer and is within the range between zero and the valid periodicity parameter subtracted by 1.
