Abstract: Systems and methods of request and response characteristics based adaptation of distributed caching in a mobile network are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of collecting information about a request or information about the response received for the request, the request being initiated at the mobile device, using the information about the request or the response, determining cacheability of the response, caching the response by storing the response a cache entry in a cache on the mobile device in response to determining the cacheability of the response, and/or serving the response from the cache to satisfy a subsequent request. The response in the cache entry can be verified by an entity physically separate from the mobile device to determine whether the response stored in the local cache still matches a current response at a source which sent the response.

Abstract: Systems and methods for caching adapted for mobile application behavior and network conditions are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of determining cacheability of content received for a client on a mobile device by tracking requests generated by the client at the mobile device to detect periodicity of the requests generated by the client, tracking responses received for requests generated by the client to detect repeatability in content of the responses, and/or determining whether the content received for the client is cacheable on the mobile device based on one or more of the periodicity in the requests and the repeatability in the content of the responses.

Abstract: Systems and methods for application and network-based long poll request detection and cacheability assessment therefore are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a distributed proxy and cache system, including, determining relative timings between a first request initiated by the application, a response received responsive to the first request, and a second request initiated subsequent to the first request also by the application. The relative timings can be compared to request-response timing characteristics for other applications to determine whether the requests of the application are long poll requests.

Abstract: Mobile devices, systems and methods for caching in a wireless network of content delivered for a mobile application requested over a long-poll request are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a distributed proxy and cache system, including, in response to determining that a cached response is available on a cache of the mobile device for a request from the mobile device, the request includes one to request the persistent connection with the content source, responding to the request using the cached response on the cache of the mobile device timed to correspond to a manner in which the content server would respond to the outgoing request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distributed caching in a wireless network of content delivered for a mobile application over a long-held request are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a distributed proxy and cache system, including, in response to determining that a cached response is available on a cache of the mobile device for an outgoing request from the mobile device, the outgoing request being one to request the persistent connection with the content server, responding to the outgoing request using the cached response on the cache of the mobile device timed to correspond to a manner in which the content server would respond to the outgoing request.

The relative timings can be used to determine whether the second request is immediately or near-immediately re-requested after the response to the first request is received. The relative timings can also be compared to request-response timing characteristics for other applications to determine whether the requests of the application are long poll requests.
