Dynamic policy based control for autonomous transmission of data by iot or non-iot device

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a device, at least one current network condition factor (NCF), a respective one of the at least one current NCF indicating a level of congestion of a corresponding network;
• determining, at the device, that there is an autonomous report to be transmitted;
• in response to determining that there is an autonomous report to transmit at the device, determining, at the device, a policy entry of a policy used for autonomous reporting based on matching values of one or more input parameters related to the autonomous report to values of one or more input parameters of the policy entry;
• determining, at the device, a reference NCF for a first network, the reference NCF for the first network corresponding to the policy entry;
• and
• requesting, at the device, to transmit the autonomous report on the first network based on a comparison of the reference NCF for the first network and the current NCF of the first network.
