Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for transmitting service related messages, e.g., via a reverse push connection. In some embodiments, a UE may be configured to receive a random value from a server, the random value based at least in part on a capacity of the server and/or network. The UE may be configured to compare the random value to a generated value, and determine, based at least in part on the comparison, to transmit a service related message over a reverse push connection rather than via a hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) request. In some embodiments, the service related message may be any message that relates to a service available between devices, such as an identity (ID) query request, a service (de-) registration request, and/or a device listing request, among other types of messages.
