Abstract: An IoT service of a provider network may be used to optimize downlink scheduling for edge devices that use a radio communication protocol (e.g., LoRaWAN). A processing instance receives DL packets from a client application that are to be sent to an edge device. The processing instance adds metadata entries (device ID, message ID) to a metadata queue and stores the DL packets into a data store. A scheduling instance obtains a metadata entry and the associated DL packet, formats the DL packet based on edge device information, and publishes the packet to a gateway topic. A separate connection instance receives the formatted DL packet and sends it to a gateway of the client network.
