Abstract

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes creating an initial sample set comprising a plurality of notification messages, where each of the notification messages is associated with one of a plurality of bearers each of which has a first parameter associated therewith. The method further comprises prioritizing the notification messages of the initial sample set according to a value of the first parameter of the associated bearer to create a prioritized sample set and optimizing the prioritized sample set to create an optimized sample set. The method further comprises applying a throttle factor to the optimized sample to remove a number of low priority notification messages from the prioritized sample set to create a final set of notification messages to be transmitted to a network element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
creating an initial sample set comprising a plurality of notification messages comprising downlink data notification (“DDN”) messages initiated by a first network element, wherein each of the notification messages is associated with one of a plurality of bearers each of which has a first parameter associated therewith;
prioritizing the notification messages of the initial sample set according to a value of the first parameter of the a…
