Abstract:
A machine type communication (MTC) gateway device is operable to provide usage type information to a 3GPP network entity and an application out of the 3GPP network. The disclosed MTC gateway device and base station provide an enhanced monitoring response with an enhanced positioning granularity to a position monitoring request. Exposure of usage type and subscription information associated with a user equipment (UE) device is a first step to virtual network function and network slice related provisioning and dedicated core network related provisioning for the UE device. Providing UE usage type through a network exposure function to a third party application enables the third party application to adapt for the usage type.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising:\n a communication unit operable to transmit an announcement of an active operating state of the communication unit among a plurality of operating states through a wireless communication channel, wherein the plurality of operating states comprise a relay user equipment usage type and a regular user equipment usage type; and a processor operable as a reporter operable to report the relay user equipment usage type as the active operating state associated with the communication unit in a condition that the communication unit operates as relay user equipment in the relay user equipment usage type; wherein the processor is operable to report a current serving cell ID associated with the communication unit in response to a serving cell ID announcement request in a condition that the communication unit operates as the relay user equipment in the relay user equipment usage type, and report an updated serving cell ID associated with the communication unit upon a mobility event of the communication unit in response to the serving cell ID announcement request in a condition that the communication unit operates as the relay user equipment in the relay user equipment usage type.
