Abstract: A system and method for test a mobile device software application is provided. In one example, a mobile application can interface with an emulation environment or mobile device that has been loaded with a kernel module that is configured to intercept certain system calls made by the mobile application, log the system calls, and generate a report based on the logged system calls. A user of the test environment can interface with the environment via a web browser that can also be used to load one or more tests that can be applied to the mobile device software application.

Abstract: A method limits power usage by a battery-powered communication device having high and low power states of operation. The device's WiFi driver running on a kernel level of the operating system includes a counter-based routine for placing the device in one of its low power state and high power state. A high or low priority level is established for applications maintained on the device. An identifier for each application and its priority level is stored within a module maintained at the operating system's kernel level. Network traffic passing through the kernel level is monitored to determine whether the network traffic is associated with one of the identified applications and whether the priority level associated therewith is high priority. The counter-based routine of the WiFi driver is accessed when the network traffic is associated with one of the applications and its priority level is high priority.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for conserving network resources such as battery power of a battery-powered communication device used to support a conversation over a wireless network transport media. Periods of silence are detected during conversation taking place on a network having controllable resources such as battery power. Using the periods of silence so-detected, future silence periods occurring on the network are then predicted. Allocation of at least a portion of the controllable resources is controlled based on the future silence periods so-predicted.
