Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for management of mobile device radio state. In some embodiments, a method, which can be implemented on a system, allows a network component (e.g., the policy and charging rules function in a UMTS network) to determine whether a mobile device is idle or active. Based on this determination, the network component may modify the behavior of a network element (e.g., a base station, eNode B or Node B) in relation to promotion or demotion of the mobile device's radio state. In some embodiments, the disclosed system can include a client side component on the mobile device which can determine criteria to be used by the network component to govern and optimize changes in mobile device radio state in a manner that conserves device and network resources.

Abstract: Currently, the radio on the device is the only one aware of network congestion while applications are not. At the same time, only the application is aware of the criticality of information it needs to send across the network. In order to address mobile network congestion more effectively, device radio needs to become application aware or application becomes radio aware. This way, the device radio knows the priority of the application traffic and does not blindly block critical information while allowing non critical information to be transferred or the application knows that the network is congested and uses it efficiently. The current congestion management mechanisms have their triggers and corrective actions limited to the device radio level without any regard to application. To address this problem, the disclosed technology includes a solution for congestion management where the trigger is on radio level while corrective measures are at IP/application layer.

Abstract: Systems and methods of dynamic categorization of applications for network use and access in a mobile network are disclosed. Using application profile information, applications can be categorized into one of multiple categories that define restrictions on the application's access to the wireless network or cellular network. One example of such categories is the concept of black, white and grey listings. The “white” listed applications may be always allowed access, “black” listed application may never or almost never be granted network access (e.g., application may be malware like or otherwise consumes large amounts of network/device resources), and grey listed applications may be granted access based on one or more criteria.
