Abstract: A method of reducing network traffic includes blocking, at a mobile device, a first channel to reduce network signaling in a network and to reduce battery consumption. The first channel includes a non-common channel. The method includes offloading application traffic of an application onto a second channel. The second channel may include a common channel. The method may include monitoring the application traffic of the application over the second channel, unblocking the first channel based on the monitored application traffic so that the application can perform an action, and re-blocking the first channel after the action has been completed. The method may include unblocking the first channel when user activity is detected, wherein the user activity includes whether the mobile device is being interacted with.

Abstract: A mobile device is configured for communicating over a shared channel and an application specific channel. The application specific channel is a channel for an application on the mobile device to communicate with an application server. The mobile device is further configured for blocking the application specific channel to offload traffic therefrom to the shared channel. The blocking occurs in response to a screen of the mobile device being off and the blocking includes blocking the application from accessing the application server over the application specific channel.

Abstract: A network is provided that includes a mobile device and a configurable stub having a stub configuration embedded in the mobile device non-transitory memory. An operating server has an operating server processor and the operating server is configured to send Short Messaging Service (SMS) messages. A processor controlled global service discovery server is configured to receive the stub configuration and to inform the mobile device about the operating server.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for policy management for signaling optimization in a wireless network. According to one system, a policy control function (PCF) is configured to provide policy management in a communications network. The PCF includes a client services node (CSN) that provides front-end interfaces to a client device. An update target calculation engine (UTCE) is configured to asynchronously calculate updates to the client device without waiting for the client device to request the configuration updates. A generic update delivery system (GUDS) receives the updates from the UTCE and delivers the updates to client devices.

Abstract: A system, a network, and a mobile device are disclosed in which the mobile device includes an embedded stub that interacts with a global service discovery server to obtain information about an operating server that handles communications from the mobile device. The stub causes the mobile device to communicate with the global service discovery server when the mobile device initially boots up, when the mobile device resets; or when a SIM card is changed. The global service discovery server identifies information for the mobile device such as the network operator, the country of use, the IMEI number, a device manufacturer, a carrier, a country of use, a mobile country code (MCC) and/or a mobile network code (MNC). Once the operating server is identified the mobile device and request and receive application software from the operating server.
