Abstract
A wireless communication method for machine type communication (MTC) where a base station defines a cell for wireless communication of the base station with devices within the cell via a downlink from the base station and via an uplink to the base station using one or more radio bearers; and a plurality of MTC devices are in wireless communication with the base station. The plurality of MTC devices share a radio bearer on at least one of the downlink by taking turns to receive data from the base station according to a predetermined schedule; or the uplink by taking turns to transmit data to the base station according to a predetermined schedule and the base station records each MTC device as a member of a group and assigns to each MTC device a first respective timing based on information which distinguishes the MTC device within the group.
