A system and method are provided for enabling access to presence status for mobile devices. The method comprises receiving, via an application programming interface, an application inquiry, the application inquiry requesting a presence data for at least one mobile device; responsive to receiving said inquiry, obtaining network data from one or more network infrastructure nodes associated with providing service to the at least one mobile device; determining a response to the application inquiry based upon the network data; and providing the response via the application programming interface.

System and method for providing access to presence status for mobile devices

A system and method are provided for enabling access to presence status for mobile devices. The method comprises receiving, via an application programming interface, a subscription request, the subscription request requesting a presence data for at least one mobile device; registering a subscription for a subscriber device according to the subscription request; obtaining network data from one or more network infrastructure nodes associated with providing service to the at least one mobile device; determining that at least a portion of the network data is associated with the subscription; and providing the at least a portion of the network data to the subscriber device via the application programming interface.

A method and apparatus for managing load in a communication network are provided. At a processor of a relay device, a number of messages is determined that are one or more of currently queued for relay via a communication interface of the relay device and previously relayed within a given time period, the communication interface and the processor of the relay device for relaying the messages, via the communication interface, between a plurality of devices and a network infrastructure. At the processor, a rate at which the plurality of devices establishes communications with the network infrastructure is controlled, wherein there is an inverse relationship between the rate and the number of messages.

Method and apparatus for managing load in a communication network

A method, system and apparatus for managing load on service devices in a communication network are provided. At a processor of a relay device, it is determined that the service devices are available after being unavailable, the relay device comprising a communication interface and a processor for relaying messages, via the communication interface, between a communication device and the service devices. In response, the processor blocks incoming messages associated with a subset of the service devices, the incoming messages from the at least one communication device.
