A method may include obtaining traffic loading and resource utilization information associated with a network for the network time domain; obtaining machine-to-machine resource requirements for machine-to-machine tasks using the network; receiving a target resource utilization value indicative of a network resource limit for the network time domain; calculating a probability for assigning each machine-to-machine task to the network time domain, wherein the probability is based on a difference between the target resource utilization value and the traffic loading and resource utilization associated with the network; calculating a probability density function based on an independent and identically distributed random variable; generating a schedule of execution of the machine-to-machine tasks within the network time domain based on the probabilities associated with the machine-to-machine tasks and the probability density function; and providing the schedule of execution of the machine-to-machine tasks.
