Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for routing messages in a network. Gateways may be selectively chosen to forward messages from a user device to a network server. Gateways may forward messages based on forwarding priorities for the user device. The forwarding priorities may, for example, indicate a repeat count threshold for a quantity of times the gateway may receive a message from a particular user device before the gateway forwards the message.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device and from a plurality of gateways, a plurality of first messages, wherein each message of the plurality of first messages is intended for a second computing device;
- determining, by the first computing device, that each message of the plurality of first messages is duplicative;
- selecting, by the first computing device and based on determining that each message of the plurality of first messages is duplicative, one message of the plurality of first messages;
- and
- sending, by the first computing device and to the second computing device, a second message containing a portion of the one message.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a gateway and from a same user device, a plurality of first messages;
- determining, by the gateway, that each message of the plurality of first messages is duplicative;
- and
- based on determining that a quantity of the plurality of first messages has satisfied a minimum threshold and based on determining that each message of the plurality of first messages is duplicative, sending, by the gateway and to a network server, a second message comprising a portion of one message of the plurality of first messages.
