A resource service system is one of a plurality of resource service systems each capable of communicating with a reception service system that receives data from a plurality of clients. The resource service system acquires data from a first queue that receives and stores data transmitted from the reception service system, and processes the acquired data. In a case where it is determined a number of pieces of data of a predetermined client transmitted from the reception service system per unit time exceeds a first predetermined number, the resource service system sets a first setting for preventing the reception service system from transmitting the data of the predetermined client to the first queue.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for operating an electronic device within a cellular environment. The technique includes determining a coverage enhancement (CE) parameter and one or more radio frequency (RF) link parameters associated with a link between the electronic device and a cellular base station at a first point in time. The technique also includes computing a first estimate for a signal condition associated with the link based on the CE parameter and the one or more RF link parameters. The technique further includes determining that the signal condition is not adequate based on the first estimate and delaying transmission of one or more messages from the electronic device over the link until a second point in time that is later than the first point in time.

An Internet of Things device is herein disclosed. The Internet of Things device comprises a communication module operable to connect to a network, a memory storing a device fingerprint having a plurality of predetermined system parameters, a processor coupled to the memory and operable to execute instructions stored in the memory, and an activity module, including at least one of a sensor and a control device, the activity module under control of the processor, to perform a predetermined operation with at least one of the sensor and the control device.
