System and method for registration, monitoring, and notifications regarding groups of internet-of-things (IoT) devices

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by one or more devices, an identification of a plurality of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that are configured to communicate via a wireless telecommunication network;
• receiving, by the one or more devices, an indication of a particular application server that is associated with a first set of IoT devices,
• the first set of IoT devices being a subset of the plurality of IoT devices,
• the first set of IoT devices including two or more IoT devices of the plurality of IoT devices,
• wherein the association indicates that the particular application server is to be notified when one or more IoT devices, in the first set of IoT devices, becomes available to communicate via the wireless telecommunications network;
• detecting, by the one or more devices, that a particular IoT device, of the first set of IoT devices, has transitioned from being unavailable to communicate via the wireless network, to being available to communicate via the wireless network;
• in response to detecting that the particular IoT device has transitioned from being unavailable to communicate to being available to communicate:
• selecting, by the one or more devices, the particular application server, from a plurality of candidate application servers, based on identifying that the particular application server is associated with the first set of IoT devices, which includes the particular IoT device;
• and
• notifying, by the one or more devices, the selected particular application server that the particular IoT device, of the first set of IoT devices, is available to receive information,
• whereby notifying the selected particular application server causes the application server to transmit information to the particular IoT device while the particular IoT device is available to communicate via the wireless telecommunication network.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium storing a plurality of processor-executable instructions, wherein executing the processor-executable instructions causes one or more processors to:

• receive an identification of a plurality of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that are configured to communicate via a wireless telecommunication network;
• receive an indication of a particular application server that is associated with a first set of IoT devices, the first set of IoT devices being a subset of the plurality of IoT devices,
• the first set of IoT devices including two or more IoT devices of the plurality of IoT devices,
• wherein the association indicates that the particular application server is to be notified when one or more IoT devices, in the first set of IoT devices, becomes available to communicate via the wireless telecommunications network;
• detect that a particular IoT device, of the first set of IoT devices, has transitioned from being unavailable to communicate via the wireless network, to being available to communicate via the wireless network;
• in response to detecting that the particular IoT device has transitioned from being unavailable to communicate to being available to communicate:
• select the particular application server, from a plurality of candidate application servers, based on identifying that the particular application server is associated with the first set of IoT devices, which includes the particular IoT device;
• and
• notify the selected particular application server that the particular IoT device, of the first set of IoT devices, is available to receive information,
• whereby notifying the selected particular application server causes the application server to transmit information to the particular IoT device while the particular IoT device is available to communicate via the wireless telecommunication network.
