Abstract
The solution introduces a flexible mechanism to avoid paging a delay-tolerant UE prematurely by buffering its high frequency, low priority data for a time duration set according to the UE's current and historic activity data, thereby increasing radio resource and network efficiency, and reducing UE batter drainage. A method of managing frequent low priority downlink data transmissions comprises receiving a downlink data packet intended for a UE, buffering the received downlink data packet in response to a determination that the received downlink data packet is low priority, and the UE is delay-tolerant, starting a timer, the timer being set in response in response to the UE currently being in an idle state, the timer being set according to a next anticipated activity time for the UE, and transmitting the downlink data packet to the UE upon the expiration of the timer.
