Enhanced data download mechanism for power constrained internet of things devices

An Internet of Things (IoT) file share server comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
• receiving an update file from an IoT application server, wherein the update file comprises an update for an IoT device,
• calculating a file chunk size based, at least in part, upon a device type of the IoT device and a file size of the update file such that each file chunk of a plurality of file chunks is downloadable to the IoT device in a single awake period of the IoT device, and
• partitioning the update file into the plurality of file chunks, wherein each file chunk of the plurality of file chunks comprises a portion of the update file, and wherein the portion is of the file chunk size.

A computer storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an update file from an Internet of Things (IoT) application server, wherein the update file comprises an update for an IoT device;
• calculating a file chunk size based upon a device type of the IoT device and a file size of the update file such that each file chunk of a plurality of file chunks is downloadable to the IoT device in a single awake period of the IoT device;
• and
• partitioning the update file into the plurality of file chunks, wherein each file chunk of the plurality of file chunks comprises a portion of the update file, and wherein the portion is of the file chunk size.
