Abstract
A method and apparatus for optimizing the use of CPNS entities are discussed. According to an embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a CPNS server, a low battery level indication for an operation from a certain one of CPNS entities; requesting, by the CPNS server, battery level information from at least some of the CPNS entities in response to the low battery level indication; determining, by the CPNS server, life expectancy information for each of the at least some of the CPNS entities based on the battery level information; and transmitting, by the CPNS server, a message to at least one CPNS gateway to use one of the at least some of the CPNS entities instead of the certain one of the CPNS entities to perform the operation, based on the life expectancy information.
