Efficient interactions to support internet-of-things (iot) device power saving mode

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, at a translation application associated with a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) or a Network Exposure Function (NEF) of a core network in a wireless carrier network, a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) notification message that includes an indication of a loss of connectivity or a communication failure for an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device at a translation application in the core network of a wireless carrier network;
• translating, via the translation application, the 3GPP notification message into a logically equivalent non-3GPP reachability status communication at the translation application, the non-3GPP status communication indicating that the IoT device is unreachable;
• and
• sending, via the translation application, the non-3GPP reachability status communication to a server of the wireless carrier network to trigger the server to queue one or more communication messages that are destined for the IoT device in a server queue,
• wherein the server is a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) server or a Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) server, and the server queue is an LwM2M server queue or a CoAP server queue.

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory including a plurality of computer-executable components that are executable by the one or more processors to perform a plurality of actions, the plurality of actions comprising:
• receiving a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) notification message that includes an indication of a loss of connectivity or a communication failure for an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device at a translation application in a core network of a wireless carrier network;
• translating the 3GPP notification message into a logically equivalent non-3GPP reachability status communication at the translation application, the non-3GPP status communication indicating that the IoT device is unreachable;
• and
• sending the non-3GPP reachability status communication to a server of the wireless carrier network to trigger the server to queue one or more communication messages that are destined for the IoT device in a server queue,
• wherein the server is a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) server or a Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) server, and the server queue is an LwM2M server queue or a CoAP server queue.
