Claim 11:
12. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, first real-time information regarding a state of a communication network and capabilities of the communication network, wherein the processing system is coupled to the communication network;
obtaining, by the processing system, a message for delivery to a user equipment (UE) coupled to the communication network;
selecting, by the processing system, a routing for delivering the message in accordance with the first real-time information,
configuring, by the processing system, a messaging path in accordance with the routing, resulting in a configured path, wherein the message is delivered to the UE via the configured path in accordance with the UE being in an active state;
providing, by the processing system, a notification on a user plane data path of the communication network in accordance with the UE being in a non-active state, the notification indicating that the message is available via the user plane data path; and
providing, by the processing system, the message on a control plane signaling path of the communication network for transmission to the UE in accordance with the UE on returning to the active state signaling an inability to receive the message via the user plane data path, wherein the providing the message on the control plane signaling path further comprises removing the message from the user plane data path.
