3GPP Location reporting method for IoT Application

摘要

The present invention relates to a machine type communication technology. Position information of a terminal performing a machine type communication function is very important information which can be utilized in various application services. When position information is collected for the application of machine type communication, the terminal performing the machine type communication function can provide the position information in a communicable state. In other words, the current real-time position information can be collected, which is provided at the point that the position information is requested. On the other hand, the terminal performing the machine type communication function, considering the feature thereof, can maintain a sleeping state in which the same is unable to perform communication in order to reduce electricity consumption. In the sleeping state, the position information cannot be provided even when a machine type communication server and the like make a request for collecting the position information of the terminal. In such a case, the position information which is most recently collected can be used, instead of the real-time position information, corresponding to the application using the position information. When the position information required for an application service is not classified between the two types of position information of the terminal performing the machine type communication function, an error or an unnecessary and additional traffic of a network can be generated. To solve these problems, the present invention relates to a method for collecting position information of a machine type communication device and a device thereof.
