Abstract
An approach is provided for optimizing energy consumption for wireless always-on connections. A radio management module buffers non-real time data and schedules the transmission of the non-real time data by a wireless device. The module also determines a communication type for carrying the non-real time data and initiates transmission of the non-real time data based on the schedule and the determined communication type.
Claims11
A method comprising:
- buffering non-real time data for transmission over a radio network;
- scheduling transmission of the non-real time data by a wireless device;
- determining a communication type, comprising a keep-alive message and a payload message, for carrying the non-real time data;
- and
- initiating transmission of the non-real time data based on the scheduling and the determined communication type;
- and
- when the communication type is a keep-alive message, designating a common keep-alive message to represent a plurality of keep-alive messages corresponding respectively to a plurality of applications.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- buffer non-real time data for transmission over a radio network,
- schedule transmission of the non-real time data by a wireless device,
- determine a communication type, comprising a keep-alive message and a payload message, for carrying the non-real time data, and
- initiate transmission of the non-real time data based on the scheduling and the determined communication type;
- and
- when the communication type is a keep-alive message, designating a common keep-alive message to represent a plurality of keep-alive messages corresponding respectively to a plurality of applications.
