Abstract

Coordinating delivery of data to a first computing device from a plurality of second computing devices based on known power times for a resource associated with the first computing device. One of the second computing devices requests a time interval for data delivery. The first computing device compares the requested time interval to the known power times to determine a delivery time. For example, the requested time interval is compared against activation times for recurrent schedules that use the resource, and against previously determined delivery times. The second computing device delivers data at the determined delivery time to preserve the resource. In some embodiments, the delivery time is adjusted for processing delays and network latency.
