Abstract
Techniques described herein may be used to enable a wireless telecommunication network to provide notification to external devices (such as application servers) regarding Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices attached to the network. A customer may create a notification subscription regarding a group of IoT devices attached to the network. The subscription may identify the IoT devices, the events for which the customer would like to be notified, and an application server that is to receive the notifications (e.g., the IoT devices becoming available to send and receive information), and the application server that is to receive the notifications. The network may monitor the group of IoT devices for the events included in the subscription and may notify the application server if/when the events occur. In response, the application server may communicate with the IoT devices via the network.
