Optimizing data transmission in location-aware systems

Abstract

In various examples, a technique for managing data uploads from location-aware systems includes determining a set of attributes associated with a set of data uploaded using a set of location-aware systems in a geographic region. The technique also includes computing a set of upload control parameters for the geographic region based at least on the set of attributes. The technique further includes receiving, from a location-aware system, a request indicating the geographic region. The technique additionally includes sending, to the location-aware system in response to the request, the set of upload control parameters within one or more control layers included in map data for the geographic region, wherein the location-aware system controls upload of additional data associated with the geographic region based at least on the one or more control layers.
