Patent ID: 8923873

Claim:
A telecommunication device comprising: a radio transceiver; one or more processors; a memory coupled to the one or more processors; a plurality of applications stored by the memory; and a network interface that is stored by the memory and is configured to be executed by the one or more processors to: detect an action at a network-driven application of the plurality of applications; determine whether the action initiates a data transfer request that corresponds to an application-specific rule that is related to a data-type sensitivity level of the network-driven application; identify a designated connected mode communication channel for a data transfer of the network-driven application to a network device in response to determining that the data transfer request corresponds to the application-specific rule; and add supplemental data to a corresponding data transfer request after identifying the designated connected mode communication channel, wherein the supplemental data includes dummy data or buffered data, and wherein the supplemental data is added to the corresponding data transfer request to affect a channel state transition from a current communication channel to the designated connected mode communication channel.
