Method and apparatus for data delivery to wireless communication devices

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations at a server operating as a service capability exposure function, comprising:

• receiving, from an application server, a data transfer request associated with delivery of data from the application server to a wireless communication device that is connected to a mobile communication network;
• storing the data transfer request associated with the wireless communication device with a plurality of data transfer requests associated with delivery of data to a plurality of wireless communication devices that are connected to the mobile communication network to thereby update a set of requests;
• obtaining a subscription profile associated with the wireless communication device;
• determining a priority score for the data transfer request associated with the wireless communication device according to status information in the subscription profile associated with the wireless communication device;
• comparing the priority score for the data transfer request associated with the wireless communication device to a plurality of priority scores associated with the plurality of wireless communication devices to generate a transfer order mapping of the set of requests;
• obtaining latency metrics associated with a data path for the data transfer associated with the wireless communication device according to a mobile management entity associated with the wireless communication device;
• adjusting the transfer order mapping of the set of requests according to the latency metrics associated with the data path for the data transfer request associated with the wireless communication device to generate an adjusted transfer order mapping;
• and
• transferring the data from the application server to the wireless communication device according to the adjusted transfer order mapping of the set of requests, wherein the transferring of the data is facilitated by the mobile management entity associated with the wireless communication device, wherein the mobile management entity is dynamically paired to the server from a pool of a plurality of mobile management entities.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a processing system including a processor, from an application server, a data transfer request associated with delivery of data from the application server to a wireless communication device that is connected to a mobile communication network;
• determining, by the processing system, a priority score for the data transfer request associated with the wireless communication device according to status information in a subscription profile associated with the wireless communication device;
• comparing, by the processing system, the priority score for the data transfer request associated with the wireless communication device to a plurality of priority scores associated with a plurality of data transfer requests associated with deliver of data to a plurality of wireless communication devices that are connected to the mobile communication network to generate a transfer order mapping of a set of requests comprising the data transfer request and the plurality of data transfer requests;
• obtaining latency metrics associated with a data path for the data transfer associated with the wireless communication device according to a mobile management entity associated with the wireless communication device;
• adjusting the transfer order mapping of the set of requests according to the latency metrics associated with the data path for the data transfer request associated with the wireless communication device to generate an adjusted transfer order mapping;
• and
• transferring, by the processing system, the data from the application server to the wireless communication device according to the adjusted transfer order mapping of the set of requests, wherein the transferring of the data is facilitated by the mobile management entity associated with the wireless communication device, wherein the mobile management entity is dynamically paired to the server from a pool of a plurality of mobile management entities.
