1. A method comprising:

  • obtaining, by a device, traffic loading and resource utilization information associated with a network for a network time domain;

    obtaining, by the device, machine-to-machine resource requirements for machine-to-machine tasks using the network;

    receiving, by the device, a target resource utilization value indicative of a network resource limit for the network time domain;

    calculating, by the device, a probability for assigning each machine-to-machine task to the network time domain, wherein the probability is based on a difference between the target resource utilization value and the traffic loading and resource utilization associated with the network;

    calculating, by the device, a uniformly-distributed probability density function based on an independent and identically distributed random variable;

    generating, by the device, a schedule of execution of the machine-to-machine tasks with respect to the network time domain based on the probabilities associated with the machine-to-machine tasks and the uniformly-distributed probability density function; and

    providing, by the device to other devices, the schedule of execution of the machine-to-machine tasks.
