Abstract
In an embodiment, a client proxy provides an operating-system-functions (OS-functions) interface to client applications. The client proxy and each of the client applications resides on a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The client proxy receives, via the OS-functions interface, respective registrations from each of a plurality of the client applications. Each respective registration indicates a respective keep-alive-message signaling rate for the corresponding registered client application. The client proxy determines an optimal signaling rate based on the respective keep-alive message signaling rates indicated by the respective registrations. The client proxy generates proxy keep-alive signaling messages that collectively convey keep-alive-message information on behalf of the registered client applications. The client proxy transmits the generated proxy keep-alive signaling messages to a network node at the determined optimal signaling rate.
