Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a data request to transfer data for a mobile device across a mobile network. The data request occurs within a time interval of a number of time intervals, each having a duration greater than a data transfer time across the mobile network. A volume is determined of the data requested, and compared to a data transfer capacity of the wireless access terminal. A transfer of the data is scheduled within the time interval, responsive to the volume of data requested being less than the data transfer capacity. The transfer of the data is deferred to another time interval, responsive to the volume of data requested being greater than the data transfer capacity, and the deferring of the data to another time includes resubmitting the data request in another time interval of the plurality of time intervals. Other embodiments are disclosed.
