Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, at a processing device of a computing device, a request for a timeout value from a mobile device, the request including a current network provider identifier indicating a current network provider of the mobile device and a first current connection type identifier indicating a first type of connection used by the mobile device to access a communication network, the timeout value being indicative of an amount of time that the mobile device waits for a response to a network operation before timing out the network operation when using the first type of connection to access the communication network; accessing, at the computing device, an analytics database, the analytics database storing a plurality of realized latency values, each realized latency value corresponding to a different previously performed network operation performed by one of a plurality of reporting mobile devices and defining a realized latency value of the previously performed network operation, each realized latency value having associated therewith a network provider identifier indicating a network provider of the reporting mobile device used to perform the previously performed network operation and a connection type identifier indicating a type of connection used by the reporting mobile device to perform the previously performed network operation; retrieving, at the computing device, one or more of the plurality of realized latency values from the analytics database based on the current network provider identifier and the first connection type identifier, each of the one or more retrieved realized latency values having the current network provider identifier and the first current connection type identifier associated therewith; determining, at the computing device, the timeout value based on the one or more retrieved realized latency values; and providing, at the computing device, the timeout value to the mobile device.
