System and method for adaptive backoff

A system, comprising:

• one or more transmitters configured to transmit a first data request to a media module at a scheduled time, poll the media module to determine accessibility of the media module, and transmit a second data request to the media module at a rescheduled time determined by the one or more processors;
• one or more processors configured to determine that the media module is inaccessible and set the rescheduled time for the media box to transmit a second data request to the media module in the event the media module is accessible, wherein the rescheduled time is based at least in part on optimizing system capacity of the media module
• one or more receivers configured to receive one or more responses to the polling of the media module, wherein the one or more responses indicate accessibility of the media module, to receive data from the media module based on the second data request;
• and
• an output configured to output the data to one or more output devices.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a media module, one or more queries from one or more media boxes to determine accessibility of the media module;
• transmitting, from the media module, one or more responses to the one or more media boxes indicating accessibility of the media module;
• receiving, at the media module, one or more rescheduled data requests from the one or more media boxes each at a rescheduled time, wherein the rescheduled time is based at least in part on optimizing system capacity of the media module;
• and
• transmitting, from the media module, data based on the rescheduled data request to the one or more media boxes.

A system, comprising:

• one or more receivers configured to receive one or more attempts from one or more media boxes to determine accessibility of the media module and receive one or more second data requests from the one or more media boxes each at a rescheduled time, wherein the rescheduled time is based at least in part on optimizing system capacity of the media module;
• one or more processors configured to process the one or more attempts from the one or more media boxes and to determine accessibility of the media module;
• and
• one or more transmitters configured to transmit one or more responses to the one or more media boxes indicating accessibility of the media module and transmit data based on the second data request to the one or more media boxes.
