Abstract
An inventive system and method for group communication among devices in M2M networks comprises associating one or more of the devices with a gateway having a unique identifier, initiating registration of the devices at an M2M network using the unique identifier of the gateway, providing from the network a temporary identifier to the gateway and associating, in the network, the temporary identifier with the gateway, attaching the devices to the network using the temporary identifier, and communicating information between the network and the device through the gateway. In one aspect, the devices can be classified into sub-groups and each sub-group has a sub-group head that can be attached to the gateway so that the devices can communicate with the network through the sub-group head instead of the gateway. Each sub-group can be associated with a unique temporary identifier, in addition to the temporary identifier associated with the gateway.
