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.

Abstract: System and method of using user as an end point for profiling and optimizing delivery of content and/or data in a wireless network are disclosed. One embodiment includes a method of content consumption based resource allocation to a user in a wireless network. The method, which may be implemented on a system includes, tracking content consumption in sessions of mobile usage for a user, aggregating or computing statistical data related to the content consumption in the sessions of the mobile usage, and/or facilitating control of the resource allocated to the user in the wireless network based on the statistical data of the content consumption of the user's mobile usage. The sessions of mobile usage for the user can be tracked across multiple mobile devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic electronic-mail filtering for mobile devices are provided. Incoming e-mail messages are received and provided to an e-mail inbox associated with the intended recipient. Those e-mail messages are evaluated to determine whether they may be desirable to the recipient. Desirability of an e-mail may be determined by such factors as the e-mail address of origin or key words in subject line. E-mail messages determined to be desirable are provided to a mobile device associated with the recipient. The recipient may then be notified concerning the desirable messages.

Abstract: System and method of radio-awareness of mobile device for sending server-side control signals using a wireless network optimized transport protocol are disclosed. One embodiment includes a method of sending a message over an alternate channel to a mobile device in the presence of an open TCP connection with a mobile device, including sending the message over the alternate channel to the mobile device, without utilizing the open TCP connection, responsive to determining that a timing criteria has been met. The alternate channel utilized need not cause a radio of the mobile device to switch on.

Abstract: Systems and methods for deploying and employing policies for wireless traffic optimization in a wireless network based on hierarchies are disclosed. One embodiment includes deploying a global policy set of the policies for wireless traffic optimization among mobile devices in the wireless network and deploying a first policy set of the policies among a first subset of mobile devices among the mobile devices. In one embodiment, the first subset of mobile devices meet a device-based criteria including one or more of, device type, device platform, or device model and any policy of the first policy set overwrites any policy of the global policy set in case of conflict when deployed on any of the first subset of mobile devices.

Abstract: System and method for generating a report to a network operator by distributed aggregation of data are disclosed. One embodiment includes determining, by a server-side proxy, optimization efficiency for wireless network traffic; tracking, by the server-side proxy, user-related information in the wireless network; based on the optimization efficiency and/or the user-related information, generating the report to be delivered to the network operator or queried by the network operator. In one embodiment, the server-side proxy performs functions related to traffic optimization and management in the wireless network effectuating in traffic alleviation in the wireless network measured by the optimization efficiency.

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.
