Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes determining a power consumption profile for each of multiple devices, where the power consumption profile includes information regarding a typical rate of power consumption by the corresponding device, and receiving status information for a first device of the multiple devices, where the status information includes power status and network connectivity status. The method also includes determining a schedule for sending push events to the first device using a resource-control algorithm, where the determining is based at least in part on a comparison of the power consumption profile for the first device with the power consumption profiles for one or more second devices and the status information for the first device. The method further includes sending the scheduled push events to the first device, where the push events provision content to the first device.
