Title: Mobile traffic categorization and policy for network use optimization while preserving user experience
Inventor: LUNA MICHAEL
IPC: H04W28/14
Filed: 2011-11-01
Abstract: Systems and methods of mobile traffic categorization and policy implementation for network use optimization are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of detecting an activity state of an application on a mobile device to which traffic is originated from or directed to, detecting a time criticality of data contained in the traffic to be sent between the mobile device and the host server, determining a timing with which to allow the traffic to pass through, based on the activity state or the time criticality and/or controlling radio use on the mobile device based on the timing with which the traffic is allowed to pass through. The method may further include selecting a network configuration in the wireless network for use in passing traffic to and from the mobile device. The activity state may be determined by the foreground or background position of an application on the mobile device or by whether the user is expecting data. When the data is determined not to be time critical, the timing with which to allow the data to pass is set based upon when additional data needs to be sent.
