A method of reducing network traffic includes blocking, at a mobile device, a first channel to reduce network signaling in a network and to reduce battery consumption. The first channel includes a non-common channel. The method includes offloading application traffic of an application onto a second channel. The second channel may include a common channel. The method may include monitoring the application traffic of the application over the second channel, unblocking the first channel based on the monitored application traffic so that the application can perform an action, and re-blocking the first channel after the action has been completed. The method may include unblocking the first channel when user activity is detected, wherein the user activity includes whether the mobile device is being interacted with.

Offloading application traffic to a shared communication channel for signal optimization in a wireless network for traffic utilizing proprietary and non-proprietary protocols

Offloading application traffic to a shared communication channel for signal optimization in a wireless network for traffic uttilizing proprietary and non-proprietary protocols

A mobile device is configured for communicating over a shared channel and an application specific channel. The application specific channel is a channel for an application on the mobile device to communicate with an application server. The mobile device is further configured for blocking the application specific channel to offload traffic therefrom to the shared channel. The blocking occurs in response to a screen of the mobile device being off and the blocking includes blocking the application from accessing the application server over the application specific channel.

Blocking application traffic for resource conservation in a mobile device

Methods for reducing traffic for a mobile device communicating over multiple channels

Systems and methods for enhancing mobile traffic management at a proxy server or component associated with or residing on a mobile carrier or mobile operator side for aligning traffic in the mobile network are disclosed. The proxy server, in some embodiments, can align requests initiated by one or more third-party servers or application servers with a radio state of a mobile device to reduce a number of network connection. The proxy server can align the requests by delaying the requests such that the requests that were delayed can be transferred to the mobile device over a single connection between the mobile device and a mobile network.

A method for conserving network and battery usage is provided. The method includes determining that a device is communicating over at least two overlapping push channels and blocking one of the push channels to eliminate or reduce overlap between the at least two overlapping push channels. Related systems are also provided.

The disclosed technology includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for optimizing network traffic management in a mobile network. One method includes determining, by a network optimization client of a mobile device, a packet call quality (PCQ) associated with transmission of packets between the mobile device and a mobile communications network. The PCQ includes a numerical indication of call quality. A congestion recognition (CR) module of the mobile device determines a measure of user congestion based on the PCQ that indicates a total delay experienced by a user of the mobile device during the transmission of packets.

Systems and methods for recognizing congestion in a mobile network to make intelligent decisions regarding connecting to an operator network is disclosed. A mobile device having a local proxy equipped with congestion recognition capabilities can use time elapsed to establish connection with a mobile base station in the mobile network to recognize congestion at the mobile base station. Further, in response to recognizing congestion at the mobile base station, the local proxy can selectively block traffic from the mobile device from traversing the mobile network to reduce signaling overload on the mobile network.

Systems and methods for extending delay tolerance of mobile applications to optimize mobile traffic management are disclosed. In a mobile device, network stack timers or protocol stack timers are modified to extend delay tolerance of applications for radio alignment. In an embodiment, tolerance of mobile applications on a mobile device to delay in establishing a connection to a wireless network is extended by an application or a local proxy on a mobile device. Based on the tolerance that is extended, requests intercepted from the mobile applications are aggregated, over a period of time, such that transfer of the requests intercepted during the period of time is delayed. This minimizes the number of times the mobile device connects to the network, reducing the power consumption on the mobile device and unnecessary signaling in the network.

Extending delay tolerance of mobile applications for optimizing mobile traffic management

Systems and methods for mobile network congestion recognition for optimization of mobile traffic are disclosed. A mobile device having a local proxy equipped with congestion recognition capabilities can sample time consumed to establish data connection between the mobile device and the mobile network, collect data including at least one of signal strength data, cell identifier, and location area code associated with the data connection between the mobile device and the mobile network, and anticipate network congestion, based at least on the time consumed and the collected data. On detecting mobile network congestion, the local proxy can apply a blocking policy to block all or low priority traffic from signaling the congested mobile network to ease the congestion.
