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.

Abstract: An approach is provided for detect duplicate messages with multiple probabilistic data structures. A de-duplication platform causes, at least in part, a representing of one or more messages in two or more probabilistic data structures. The de-duplication platform further causes, at least in part, an alternating clearing of the two or more probabilistic data structures as respective probabilistic data structures are filled with the one or more messages to respective thresholds, with the two or more probabilistic data structures facilitating determination of one or more duplicates among the one or more messages.

Abstract: An approach is provided for subscribing to notifications based on operations associated with content items. The notification enabler determines at least one operation by at least one device associated with one or more content items. Next, the notification enabler processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more content items to determine at least one identification code. Then, the notification enabler causes, at least in part, a subscription to at least one notification channel associated with the one or more content items, one or more entities associated with the one or more content items, or combination thereof based, at least in part, on the at least one identification code.

Abstract: An approach is provided for optimizing message routing without repeatedly resolving a home location. A login request from a user equipment associated with a resource identifier is received. The user equipment is configured to operate within a network including a plurality of clusters. The resource identifier of the user equipment is modified to include home cluster information indicating a corresponding one of the clusters serving the user equipment.

Abstract: An approach is provided for message routing among clusters via a proxy channel. A subscription request is received from a node within a local cluster. The subscription request is for a service. It is determined that the service is provided by a remote cluster. A transmission of the subscription request to a service platform of the remote cluster is initiated. The service is provided to the node via a proxy channel.
