AI Technical Summary
Existing methods and apparatus for selecting mobile network routes for data communications with IoT devices are inadequate, particularly in managing congestion and load balancing across different types of data delivery, such as IP, non-IP, and SMS data delivery.
A route selection function dynamically selects mobile network routes based on loading or congestion indication values and subscription tiers, using evaluation functions to assess network nodes and determine optimal routes for data delivery, including buffering and attaching IoT devices as needed.
This approach enhances data delivery efficiency by optimizing routes based on real-time network conditions and subscriber priorities, improving load balancing and ensuring reliable communication for IoT devices.
