    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for transmitting broadcasts by Peripherals, receiving the broadcasts by Centrals, and communicating with a Backend by Centrals. Specifically, a Peripheral may generate and transmit an encrypted broadcast packet to a Central, the Central may transmit the encrypted observation information to the Backend, which may decrypt the broadcast packet. Additionally, a Central may transmit a request for authorization to connect to a Peripheral to the Backend. If authorized by the Backend, the Central may connect to the Peripheral. Further, a Central may receive a plurality of broadcasts over a period of time. The Central may store information about the broadcasts and, at the conclusion of the period of time, transmit the information about the broadcasts and the last-received broadcast to the Backend.

    Abstract: A method performed by an asset tracking device is disclosed to track an asset. The method comprises receiving, while operating in an extended discontinuous reception mode, a carrier messaging service message from a carrier network, transmitting a connection request to a management server to establish a connection with the management server in response to receiving the carrier messaging service message, receiving, from the management server over the connection, an instruction to use a specified backend check-in schedule until a specified condition is met, and responsive to receiving the instruction, using the specified backend check-in schedule to check in with the management server until the specified condition is met. The method further comprises reverting back to using a default backend check-in schedule to check in with the management server after the specified condition has been met.
