Abstract:
An example method for targeted service request for small data communication in a network environment is provided and includes receiving an extended service request indicating an evolved packet system (EPS) bearer identity for small data communication over a packet data network connection including one or more EPS bearers, where the one or more EPS bearers includes at least one small data bearer configured for small data communication, selectively activating the small data bearer, and facilitating the small data communication. In specific embodiments, the one or more EPS bearers includes a default EPS bearer and one or more dedicated EPS bearers, where the small data bearer is the default EPS bearer. In other embodiments, the one or more EPS bearers includes a default EPS bearer and one or more dedicated EPS bearers, where the small data bearer is one of the dedicated EPS bearers.
Abstract:
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes creating an initial sample set comprising a plurality of notification messages, where each of the notification messages is associated with one of a plurality of bearers each of which has a first parameter associated therewith. The method further comprises prioritizing the notification messages of the initial sample set according to a value of the first parameter of the associated bearer to create a prioritized sample set and optimizing the prioritized sample set to create an optimized sample set. The method further comprises applying a throttle factor to the optimized sample to remove a number of low priority notification messages from the prioritized sample set to create a final set of notification messages to be transmitted to a network element.
