A communication method for a Machine-Type Communication, MTC, User Equipment, UE,, the method comprising: an MTC-IWF receiving a group trigger information sent by an MTC server; the MTC-IWF sending, through a Broadcast Multicast Service Centre,BMSC,, the group trigger information to a service node in form of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service,MBMS,; the service node sending the group trigger information to an access network equipment (S406 S408a); the access network equipment which receives the group trigger information broadcasting the group trigger information to an area where the MTC UE group is; the MTC UE in the MTC UE group receiving broadcast information carrying the group trigger information from the MTC server based on group paging information which has been previously received (S408b), wherein the group trigger information is used for triggering the MTC UE in the MTC UE group; and the MTC UE communicating with the MTC server based on the group trigger information; wherein the MTC UE in the MTC UE group receiving the broadcast information carrying the group trigger information from the MTC server based on group paging information which has been previously received comprises: the MTC UE determining that the group paging information is received by itself, wherein the group paging information is used for indicating a change of the broadcast information; the MTC UE detecting, based on the group paging information, whether the group trigger information carried in the broadcast information is the one needed by itself; if so, the MTC UE acquiring the group trigger information from the broadcast information; if not, the MTC UE discarding the group trigger information; wherein the MTC UE detecting, based on the group paging information, whether the group trigger information carried in the broadcast information is the one needed by itself comprises that: the MTC UE detecting, based on a group identity, ID, carried in the group paging information, whether the group paging information corresponds to the MTC UE group; if so, the MTC UE detecting, based on the group identity, ID, carried in the group trigger information, whether the group trigger information is the one needed by itself. an MTC-IWF receiving a group trigger information sent by an MTC server;
