Abstract
A method for offloading a data segment includes receiving a probe request from a user device to offload the data segment, where the probe request includes a segment identification. The method further includes sending a probe response to the user device, where the probe response includes an approval or decline of an action to be executed by the user device, the action being one of an upload or a request to retry offloading the data segment at a later time. The method further includes sending a challenge to the user device.
