Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing notifications in a communication system. In connection therewith, a first communication is transmitted, by a processor, in accordance with a first communication scheme that defines a first communication service by which the first communication is to be transmitted and a first user device to which the first communication is to be transmitted. The processor estimates whether the first communication was received by the first user device. Responsive to estimating that the first communication was not received by the first user device, the processor operates to determine a further communication scheme, different to the first communication scheme, that defines a further communication service by which a further communication is to be transmitted and a further user device to which the further communication is to be transmitted, and operates to transmit the further communication in accordance with the further communication scheme.
