Abstract
A machine-type communications (MTC) device may attempt a network attach operation corresponding to a wireless network, and receive quality of service information, from the wireless network, in response to the network attach operation failing. The MTC device may determine a back-off time based on the quality of service information received from the wireless network. The back-off time may include a duration of time before re-attempting the network attach operation. The MTC device may re-attempt the network attach operation in response to detecting an expiration of the back-off time.
