  • receiving, by a network device including a processor, a notification message from a mobility management entity, wherein the notification message indicates that a first connection request from an application server to an end user device failed based on the end user device being in an inactive mode, wherein the notification message includes first identification information for the end user device, second identification information for the application server, and timing information associated with an active time period for the end user device when the end user device will not be in the inactive mode; and

    providing, by the network device to the application server, a target time for transmitting a subsequent connection request to the end user device, wherein the target time is within the active time period, and wherein the providing of the target time to the application server causes the application server to cease re-transmitting connection requests to the end user device until the target time,wherein the first connection request is for communications of the end user device via a serving gateway, wherein the network device, the application server and the serving gateway are remote from each other.
