Abstract:
1. A method to generate keep-alive messages for a plurality of persistent connections, comprising: identifying the plurality of persistent connections associated with at least one application on a first wireless device in a network hosting the plurality of persistent connections; establishing a first test persistent connection between the first wireless device and a second wireless device in the network, wherein the plurality of persistent connections does not include the first test persistent connection; transmitting a query to determine whether the first test persistent connection is available; identifying a timing schedule specific to the network to transmit keep-alive messages to refresh each persistent connection of the plurality of persistent connections in the network, the timing schedule based at least in part on the determination as to whether the first test persistent connection is available; and synchronizing a generation of the keep-alive messages for each persistent connection of the plurality of persistent connections, the synchronized generation of the keep-alive messages occurring according to the identified timing schedule of the network.
