Abstract:
1. A method for machine-type communication between a mobile communication network and a machine-type communication device, the method comprising: determining, by the machine-type communication device, a waiting time interval based on identity information and time interval information stored in the machine-type communication device, wherein determining the waiting time interval is further based on application of a hash function operation applied to the identity information; and requesting, by the machine-type communication device, access to a random access resource of the mobile communication network after the determined waiting time interval has elapsed; wherein the hash function corresponds to a modulo operation on the numerical value of a number derived from the identity information or to a modulo operation on the digit sum of a number derived from the identity information; wherein a predetermined divisor value is used in the modulo operation; and wherein the divisor value used in the modulo operation corresponds to a number of groups to which machine type communication devices are assigned.
