1. A method comprising:
- buffering non-real time data for transmission over a radio network;
scheduling transmission of the non-real time data by a wireless device;
determining a communication type, comprising a keep-alive message and a payload message, for carrying the non-real time data; and
initiating transmission of the non-real time data based on the scheduling and the determined communication type; and
when the communication type is a keep-alive message, designating a common keep-alive message to represent a plurality of keep-alive messages corresponding respectively to a plurality of applications.

Abstract
An approach is provided for optimizing energy consumption for wireless always-on connections. A radio management module buffers non-real time data and schedules the transmission of the non-real time data by a wireless device. The module also determines a communication type for carrying the non-real time data and initiates transmission of the non-real time data based on the schedule and the determined communication type.
