Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes determining a power consumption profile for a device. Status information for the device may be received, wherein the status information comprises power status and network connectivity status. Using a resource-control algorithm and based on the status information and the power consumption profile, a schedule for sending push events to the device may be determined. Content to be provisioned to the device may be identified, and the scheduled push events may be sent to the device, in order to provision the identified content to the device. The resource-control algorithm may be further based on one or more device-based consumption factors, such as a periodic data usage transfer limit with respect to a specified network and a data usage status with respect to the specified network, or system-wide consumption factors, such as a power threshold that applies across all devices.
