Abstract

A method in a network device coupled with a packet data network (PDN) gateway of a mobile operator is described. The method includes transmitting configuration information to a low powered device gateway coupled with a plurality of low powered devices based on a received configuration request, wherein the low powered device gateway does not include a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). The method further includes communicating with an AAA server to authenticate a selection of the plurality of low powered devices and establishing a GPRS Tunnel Protocol (GTP) tunnel with the PDN gateway. The method further includes receiving from the low powered device gateway collected data from the selection of the plurality of low powered devices and sending to the PDN gateway the collected data.
