Abstract:
1. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement instructions to reduce power consumption and signaling overhead for internet applications, comprising: triggering, at one of an evolved Node B (eNodeB) and a User Equipment (UE), an identification module upon the UE entering a low power mode; identifying, by the identification module, an Internet Protocol (IP) header field of a background message by packet analysis of a set of packets to be transmitted to one of the eNodeB and the UE; performing a handling action on the background message comprising one of buffering the background message and dropping the background message based on the IP header field of the background message to reduce one of sending and receiving background messages, and providing advance notice from the UE to the eNodeB indicating that the UE supports performing the handling action on the background message so that the triggering of the identification module occurs as a corollary to the UE entering the low power mode.
