First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
determining a deadline for completion of a delayed transfer of a data content item to a mobile device;
forecasting a plurality of locations of the mobile device during a time period between a first time and the deadline;
identifying a plurality of candidate cellular base stations to wirelessly transfer a portion of the data content item to the mobile device during a time period based on the plurality of locations and the deadline;
determining a delayed transfer time within the time period; and
providing the delayed transfer time to the mobile device, wherein a transfer of a first portion of the data content item occurs through a first cellular base station of the plurality of candidate cellular base stations.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a deadline for completion of the transfer of the data content item to the mobile device. A set of locations of the mobile device is determined between the first time and the deadline, a candidate plurality of wireless base stations is identified, based on the forecasted plurality of locations, to wirelessly transfer a portion of the data content item to the mobile device during the time period. A utilization of a wireless base station of the candidate set of wireless base stations is forecasted during the time period, a transfer time is determined within the time period based on the forecasted utilization and the deadline, and the transfer time is provided to the mobile device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
