Abstract
An approach is provided for establishing one or more communication sessions in a cloud computing environment and maintaining the establishment of the one or more communication sessions while managing system resource and power resource consumption. The approach involves causing, at least in part, an establishment of one or more communication sessions between at least one device and one or more other devices, wherein the communication sessions convey, at least in part, one or more notification messages. The approach also involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of device resource information, device capability information, network resource information, or a combination thereof to determine one or more parameters for generating one or more heartbeat signals to maintain the one or more communication sessions.
