User Equipment Proposing A Duration to Be Applied to A Time Delay to Be Set By Equipment of A Core Network

Content Provider	The Lens
Abstract	A cellular communication network comprises a core network interconnecting a set of cells, an item of equipment in the core network being responsible for managing the mobility of the user equipment between the cells. An item of user equipment transmits (401) to said equipment in the core network an attachment request message for registering itself and also transmitting a message requesting updating of localization areas at the expiry of a period with a duration set by said equipment in the core network in an attachment acceptance message and/or in a message accepting updating of localization areas. The user equipment includes, in each message requesting attachment to the core network and/or in each message requesting updating of localization areas, a proposed duration to be applied to said time delay.

Claim	Method for managing an item of equipment, called item of user equipment in a cellular communication network comprising a core network interconnecting a set of cells, an item of equipment in the core network, called item of core network equipment, being responsible for managing the mobility of the item of user equipment between the cells, the method comprising: transmitting, from the item of user equipment and to said item of core network equipment, an attachment request message to register the item of user equipment with the core network; transmitting, from the item of user equipment and to said item of core network equipment, a message requesting updating of localization areas at the expiry of a periodic time delay with a duration set by said item of core network equipment in an attachment acceptance message and/or in a message accepting updating of localization areas, wherein said item of user equipment includes, in each attachment request message requesting attachment to the core network and/or in each message requesting updating of localization areas, a proposed duration to be applied to said delay, wherein the item of user equipment includes, in the attachment request message requesting attachment to the core network or in the message requesting updating of localization areas, information representing deactivation of said periodic time delay causing an activation, in said item of core network equipment, of another time delay of a predetermined duration enabling said item of core network equipment to transmit at least one message seeking said item of user equipment, when the item of user equipment has not established a connection via the cellular communication network before the expiry of said other time delay, wherein said item of core network equipment reinitializes said other time delay when said item of core network equipment receives, from said item of user equipment, a message requesting updating of localization areas, and wherein said item of core network equipment limits, in the attachment acceptance message and/or in the message accepting updating of localization areas, a list of localization areas to be monitored by said item of user equipment to a single localization area. Management method according to claim 1 , wherein, the item of user equipment being intended to be immobile, the item of user equipment defines said proposed duration as representing a deactivation of said periodic time delay. Management method according to claim 1 , wherein said item of core network equipment identifies said single localization area by extracting, from the message requesting attachment to the core network and/or from the message requesting updating of localization areas, information representing a localization area where said item of user equipment is located. Management method according to claim 1 , wherein said item of user equipment is a residential gateway or a smart meter. Non transitory information storage medium, storing a computer program comprising program code instructions which can be loaded in a processor to cause said processor to implement the method according to claim 1 , when said program code instructions are executed by the processor. Item of user equipment intended to be used in a cellular communication network comprising a core network interconnecting a set of cells, an item of equipment in the core network, called item of core network equipment, being responsible for managing the mobility of the item of user equipment between the cells, the item of user equipment being suitable for transmitting, from the item of user equipment and to said item of core network equipment, an attachment request message for registering the item of user equipment with the core network and the item of user equipment also being suitable for transmitting, from the item of user equipment and to said item of core network equipment, a message requesting updating of localization areas at the expiry of a periodic time delay of a duration set by said item of core network equipment in an attachment acceptance message and/or in a message accepting updating of localization areas, wherein said item of user equipment comprises means for including, in each message requesting attachment to the core network and/or in each message requesting updating of localization areas, a proposed duration to be applied to said periodic time delay, and wherein said item of user equipment comprises means for including, in the attachment request message requesting attachment to the core network or in the message requesting updating of localization areas, information representing deactivation of said periodic time delay causing an activation in said item of core network equipment of another time delay of a predetermined duration enabling said item of core network equipment to transmit at least one message seeking said item of user equipment, when the item of user equipment has not established a connection via the cellular communication network before expiry of said other time delay, wherein said item of core network equipment comprises electronic circuitry adapted for reinitializing said other time delay when said item of core network equipment receives, from said item of user equipment, a message requesting updating of localization areas; and, wherein said item of core network equipment comprises circuitry adapted for limiting, in the attachment acceptance message and/or in the message accepting updating of localization areas, a list of localization areas to be monitored by said item of user equipment to a single localization area. Item of user equipment according to claim 6 , wherein said user equipment is a residential gateway or a smart meter.
