Systems and methods for optimizing keepalives or other non-interactive or background traffic from applications on a mobile device are disclosed. A keepalive optimizer can detect keepalive and other background traffic and optimize such traffic by blocking keepalives, advancing or delaying execution of keepalives, delaying repeatable background requests based on radio state, device state or characteristics, policy, transaction characteristics, application characteristics, and/or the like. The disclosed keepalive optimization methods facilitate management of traffic and/or conservation of resources on the mobile device and the network. The keepalive optimization can be performed by an application sending the keepalives or by a local proxy on the mobile device.

Optimizing keepalive and other background traffic in a wireless network

Systems and methods of optimizing background traffic originating at a mobile device are provided. The systems and methods include identifying a background request to be delayed for transmission to a wireless network, delaying the background request for a period of time when a state of the mobile device meets a delay criteria, and responsive to detecting a change in the state of the mobile device or expiration of the period of time, transmitting the background request to the wireless network.
