The method includes providing wireless device software on the wireless electronic device, the wireless device software being embedded in an application or memory of the wireless electronic device; having the wireless device software initiate a test that examines network traffic to measure a performance metric associated with an application, a network and/or the wireless electronic device and/or user experience, wherein the wireless device software is tailored to a specific application or media type according to the test being performed; the wireless device software interacting with at least one test server to perform the test, wherein data corresponding to the media type is sent to, or received from, the at least one test server; and the wireless device software receiving or determining test data associated with the test, the test data being indicative of at least one quality, experience, or performance metric associated with the specific application, media type or network used during the test.

System and method for evaluating wireless device and/or wireless network performance

There is provided a method of evaluating user churn in wireless networks. The method includes receiving data from a plurality of wireless electronic devices connected to and operating in a plurality wireless networks and/or network types, wherein the data has been collected for each wireless electronic device by wireless device software embedded in an application or memory of the respective wireless electronic device and configured to collect the data when the wireless electronic device accesses one or more of the plurality of wireless networks and/or network types, and wherein the data comprises one or more identifiers associated with the wireless electronic device or a user of the wireless electronic device. The method also includes aggregating the data received from the plurality of wireless electronic devices; analyzing the aggregated data to determine how at least one of the identifiers flows through the plurality of networks, devices, and/or network types; and outputting a prediction or indication of user network churn or user device churn based on which networks, devices, and/or network types the user or wireless electronic device accesses.

There is provided a method of evaluating wireless device performance, and/or wireless network performance, and/or wireless network usage trends, on a wireless electronic device, the method comprising: providing wireless device software on the wireless electronic device, the wireless device software being embedded in an application or memory of the wireless electronic device, and being operable to perform at least one test associated with characteristics and/or location of the device, and/or performance of the device and/or the network, and/or usage of the device by a user; communicating with at least one of: i) an operating system of the wireless electronic device and ii) an external testing server to perform the at least one test, wherein the at least one test is performed according to at least one testing parameter provided in a configuration and/or the wireless device software, the at least one testing parameter comprising at least one behavioural criterion that controls the impact of the testing on the operation of the wireless electronic device; collecting test data resulting from the performance of the at least one test; and providing the test data to a collection server.

There is provided a method of controlling behaviour of a system that evaluates wireless device performance, and/or wireless network performance, and/or wireless network usage trends. The method comprises providing wireless device software to each of a plurality of wireless electronic devices connected to one or more of a plurality of networks by having the wireless device software embedded in at least one application or memory of the corresponding electronic device, wherein the wireless device software is embedded in or operable with a plurality of types of applications and performs at least one test associated with characteristics and/or location of the device, and/or performance of the device and/or the network, and/or usage of the device by a user; receiving via one or more collection servers, test data obtained by the wireless device software of each of the plurality of wireless electronic devices; providing a data set to a third party, the data set comprising at least some of the test data; and enabling a configuration server in communication with the wireless device software to be controlled to modify the testing behaviour of the wireless device software based at least in part on the data set provided to the third party.

System and method for interacting with and controlling testing of wireless device and/or wireless network performance on wireless electronic devices

There is provided a method of evaluating wireless device and/or wireless network performance and/or wireless network usage trends. The method comprises providing wireless device software to each of a plurality of wireless electronic devices connected to one or more of a plurality of networks by having the wireless device software embedded in the corresponding electronic device, wherein the wireless device software is embedded in or operable with a plurality of types of applications and performs at least one test associated with characteristics and/or location of the device, and/or performance of the device and/or the network, and/or usage of the device by a user; receiving via one or more collection servers, test data obtained by the wireless device software of each of the plurality of wireless electronic devices; aggregating the received data; and storing and outputting the aggregated data.

System and method for evaluating wireless device and wireless network performance

Telecommunication networks are under stress due to rapid traffic increase cause mostly by large file transfers. Disclosed herein is a cross-layer transport protocol specifically designed to efficiently handle large transactions. Traffic generated from large transactions is shaped into a periodic succession of fixed-size data frames. Each transaction can then be scheduled for transmission using a two-way reservation protocol. Exemplary results show that the proposed approach is capable of significantly improving goodput and end-to-end delay relative to TCP, improving efficiency of bandwidth utilization by over 40%.

System and method for efficient transport of large data files

A system for managing the device operation rules that govern a device's operation, includes a profiling server configured to receive data from one or more data sources and a processor to aggregate and analyze the received data to dynamically generate profiles for distribution to a plurality of devices. The devices, which are in communication with the profiling server, being responsive to profiles generated by the profiling server to create, update, or modify the said operation rules and communicate with the profiling server the performance of the said profiles, the said rules, and/or the said device. The system allows the device operation rules to be dynamically updated in accordance with changing network conditions, and also can provide analytics information to third parties.

System for regulating wireless device operations in wireless networks

A method for a first network to receive a packet from a second network is provided, including a router at the first network receiving the packet from the second network, the packet addressed to a client reachable through the first network; the router inspecting the packet for a nonrepudiable marking provided by the second network; if the nonrepudiable marking is present and matches the packet, adding an indicator pointing to the second network in the packet; adding a second nonrepudiable marking to the packet, and transmitting the packet to a destination; and otherwise, dropping the packet.

Method and system of controlling spam

A secure protocol for transactions, such as electronic commerce transactions, is described that provides improved security through exploiting an independent (where this independence is logical and/or physical) communication path (e.g., between a customer and a back-end financial institution), ensuring that key financial information remains within the back-end financial institutions themselves. Hence, this protocol directly reduces cyber-crime risks through improvements to transaction security. In addition, various implementations of the secure protocol provide non-repudiation for one or more of the entities involved in the transaction.
