Coordinating data delivery using time suggestions

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a first computing device, a requested time value from a second computing device;
• identifying a plurality of activation times associated with a plurality of schedules, wherein activation of the plurality of schedules consumes a resource on the first computing device,
• identifying one or more previously determined delivery times;
• comparing the requested time value to the defined plurality of activation times and to the previously determined delivery times;
• determining a delivery time based on said comparing;
• and
• providing the determined delivery time to the second computing device, wherein the second computing device sends data to the first computing device at the provided delivery time.

One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable components for managing data delivery to a first computing device, said components comprising:

• an interface component for receiving a requested time interval, said requested time interval associated with an expected transmission of data from a second computing device to the first computing device;
• a cache component for identifying a plurality of anticipated power times associated with a communication resource on the first computing device, a hint component for determining a delivery time based on a comparison of the time interval received by the interface component and the plurality of anticipated power times identified by the cache component;
• and
• a publication component for providing the delivery time determined by the hint component to the second computing device, wherein the second computing device sends the data to the first computing device at the provided delivery time.
