  • Method and apparatus for small footprint clients for operator-specific service interfaces
    Patent number: 8555349
    Abstract: Techniques for small footprint operator-specific network services include determining to obtain and/or process operator data that indicates an operator of a service associated with user equipment. The techniques also include determining to obtain and/or process user data that identifies a user of the user equipment for a gateway provider different from the operator and different from the user. The techniques further include determining to send, to the gateway provider through the communications network, a first message that indicates the operator data and the user data for obtaining a service with an operator-specific interface. In some embodiments, the first message is sent after a random delay to decentralize traffic at the gateway. In some embodiments, the first message is sent when a predetermined fraction of battery life at the user equipment is sufficient to send the first message.
