1. A method comprising:
determining, by a network device, a reporting configuration for respective Internet of Things (IoT) devices, wherein the reporting configuration configures an initiation of reporting instances for reporting data via a radio access network, and wherein each of the IoT devices acquires the data according to an associated data acquisition frequency;
determining, by the network device and based on the reporting configurations, that the initiation of at least one of the reporting instances for at least one IoT device coincides with the initiation of the reporting instances for at least a threshold number of the IoT devices, wherein the threshold number is determined based on a load capacity of the radio access network; and
modifying, by the network device, the reporting configuration of each IoT device to include alternating representative reporting, which reduces a current frequency of the initiation of the reporting instances for each IoT device, and wherein each IoT device maintains the associated data acquisition frequency.
