In plain words
TS 23.682 specifies architecture enhancements for communications with packet data networks and applications, including Machine Type Communication (MTC) applications on the (external) network/MTC servers. For end-to-end communications between the MTC Application in the UE and the MTC Application in the external network, it says "uses services provided by the 3GPP system, and optionally services provided by a Services Capability Server (SCS).". TS 23.682 also specifies transmission of non-IP data via SCEF for the CIoT EPS Optimization.

How this page was made
The facts box and the tables come straight from the 3GPP specification archive and CR database as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
