Abstract

A method in a node of a communication system for selecting a message box for a machine device. The communication system comprises one or more capillary networks and a wireless network, the one or more capillary networks comprising one or more machine devices and at least two capillary network gateways. The at least two capillary network gateways are capable of data exchange between the machine device and the wireless network. The method comprises establishing, for the machine device, a first probability reflecting the probability that the machine device changes capillary network gateway between two consecutive data transmission events performed by the machine device, and selecting, based on the first probability, a message box for use by the machine device. Further described are a corresponding node, computer programs and computer program products.
