Patent ID: 10051561

Abstract:
A machine device (100), a Machine-to-Machine, M2M, server (102) and methods therein are provided, where the machine device (100) connects to a wireless access gateway (GW1) in order to perform an M2M communication. The machine device (100) detects (1:1) a set of reachable wireless access gateways (GW1-GW4) with which the machine device (100) is able to reach for communication using short range wireless technology, and sends (1:2) identifiers of the reachable wireless access gateways to the M2M server (102). The M2M server (102) then sends (1:4) an indication of at least one prioritized wireless access gateway (GW1, GW2) selected (1:3) from the reachable wireless access gateways. Thereby, the machine device (100) is able to connect (1:5) to one of the prioritized wireless access gateway(s) (GW1) for performing the M2M communication provided that this wireless access gateway is available.
