Relative location conditioned staged download service for internet-of-things (iots)

An apparatus of a download node, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory, the processing device and the memory to:
• receive, from a device in motion (DIM) paired with the download node, a notice of accepting a download task;
• retrieve, from a data repository, a dataset specified by the download task;
• stage, by a processing device of the download node, the dataset in a staged download service (SDS) in preparation to transfer the dataset to the DIM;
• and
• initiate, by the processing device of the download node, a transfer of at least a portion of the dataset to the DIM responsive to one or more data transfer properties satisfying a predefined set of conditions, wherein the data transfer properties are determined in view of a location and a movement of the DIM.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a download node for providing staged download service (SDS), cause the download node to:

• receive, from a device in motion (DIM) paired with the download node, a notice of accepting a download task;
• retrieve, from a data repository, a dataset specified by the download task;
• stage, by a processing device of the download node, the dataset in a staged download service (SDS) in preparation to transfer the dataset to the DIM;
• and
• initiate, by the processing device of the download node, a transfer of at least a portion of the dataset to the DIM responsive to one or more data transfer properties satisfying a predefined set of conditions, wherein the data transfer properties are determined in view of a location and a movement of the DIM.
