Load balancing of data transmissions

摘要

In an embodiment, a method is provided for transmitting data. In this method, a number from a sequence of numbers is identified, and each number from the sequence is associated with a time interval. A random number is generated and it is compared with the identified number. In reference to the time interval associated with the identified number, transmission of the data to the electronic device is initiated based on the comparison.

1. A method comprising:
identifying a number from a sequence of numbers, each number from the sequence being associated with a time interval, the time interval associated with at least one number in the sequence being different from the time interval associated with another number in the sequence, the identifying including:
calculating a ratio of a remaining time period and the time interval, andcalculating the number based on an inverse of the ratio; generating a random number; comparing the identified number with the random number; and in reference to the time interval associated with the identified number, transmitting the data to an electronic device based on the comparison.
