A method and system are for generating a report for delivery to or access or query by a network operator by determining, by a server-side proxy, optimization efficiency for traffic in a wireless network, tracking, by the server-side proxy, user-related information in the wireless network, generating, based on at least one of the optimization efficiency and the user-related information, a report for delivery to or access by an operator of the wireless network, the report including an alert of viral take-up of a new application, and performing, by the server-side proxy, traffic optimization functions alleviating traffic in the wireless network.

Mobile device configured for operating in a power save mode and a traffic optimization mode and related method

Systems and methods of enhanced customer service for mobile carriers using real-time and historical mobile application and traffic or optimization data associated with mobile devices in a mobile network are disclosed. The data can be tracked by a client-side and/or a server-side reporting engine and usage analytics engine. Reports can also be generated by the system from the data and provided to the customer service/call center, such as trend charts showing optimization efficiency of traffic over a network and battery consumption vs. application load for a mobile device as a function of time.

Methods and systems for providing APIs and API extensions to third party applications for optimizing and minimizing application traffic are provided. According to one aspect, a method for optimizing and minimizing application traffic in a wireless network includes defining an application programming interface (API) for controlling application traffic between an application client residing on a mobile device that operates within a wireless network and an application server not residing on the mobile device and using the API to optimize application traffic in the wireless network.

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for data traffic signature-based detection and protection against malware. According to one method, data traffic and behavior associated with a computing device is monitored and a device activity signature is created that includes an abstraction of the data traffic. A classification of the device activity signature is determined and a policy decision for the computing device is applied based on the determined classification.

Device activity and data traffic signature-based detection of mobile device health

A method for providing fault tolerance in mobile traffic management services is provided. The method includes detecting, at a mobile device, that one component of multiple components for providing mobile traffic management services is non-operational, at capacity, or near capacity, identifying the mobile device serviced by the one component, retrieving information for the mobile device serviced by the one component, from a repository coupled to the one component and the multiple components, re-assigning the mobile device originally serviced by the one component to another one of the multiple components for servicing, and communicating with the another one of the multiple components for servicing communication requests of the mobile device.

System of redundantly clustered machines to provide failover mechanisms for mobile traffic management and network resource conservation

System and method for generating a report to a network operator by distributing aggregation of data

Intelligent customer service/call center services enhanced using real-time and historical mobile application and traffic-related statistics collected by a distributed caching system in a mobile network

Systems and methods of operation modes for mobile traffic optimization and management of concurrent optimized and non-optimized traffic are disclosed. One embodiment includes classifying and handling traffic sent to and from mobile device applications running on a mobile device, the method includes, analyzing, on the mobile device, requests from the mobile device applications for recurrent patterns; traffic having a recurrent pattern is optimizable traffic and traffic with an unidentifiable pattern is non optimizable traffic, managing the optimizable traffic to reduce an amount of wireless data and signaling traffic sent to and from the mobile device and/or routing the non optimizable traffic from the mobile device applications to a service provider. In one embodiment, upon determining a problem communicating with the server, request are routed from the one or more mobile device applications directly to a service provider, the routed traffic bypassing a client-side proxy.

Operation modes for mobile traffic optimization and concurrent management of optimized and non-optimized traffic

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.

User as an end point for profiling and optimizing the delivery of content and data in a wireless network

Systems and methods for a mobile device to use physical storage of another device for caching are disclosed. In one embodiment, a mobile device is able to receive over a cellular or IP network a response or content to be cached and wirelessly access the physical storage of the other device via a wireless network to cache the response or content for the mobile device.

System and method for a mobile device to use physical storage of another device for caching

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.
