Enabling a communication feasibility determination time to complete communication exchanges between an M2M server and one or more M2M devices

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for machine-to-machine communication are provided. A device receives a request from a requestor. The request requests the device to transmit information to the requestor according to a primary time duration. The device determines at least one secondary time duration within the primary time duration for transmitting the information to the requestor and schedules a transmission time within the at least one secondary time duration to transmit the information to the requestor in response to the request. The scheduling is based on additional information known to the device. A requestor determines a time duration for communicating with at least one device, transmits a request to the at least one device to transmit information to the requestor according to the time duration, and receives in response to the request the information from the at least one device within the time duration.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication at a device, comprising:
receiving a request from a requestor, the request requesting the device to transmit information to the requestor according to a primary time duration; determining at least one secondary time duration within the primary time duration for transmitting the information to the requestor; scheduling, during a communication feasibility determination interval of the at least one secondary time duration, a transmission time within the at least one secondary time duration to transmit the information to the requestor in response to the request, the scheduling based on additional information known to the device, wherein scheduling the transmission time includes:
determining, during the communication feasibility determination interval, a network behavior including at least one of a network load or a communication link condition; adapting the scheduling of the transmission time to transmit the information to the requestor based on the determined network behavior; and transmitting the scheduled transmission time to the requestor.
