Abstract

Systems and methods of mobile traffic categorization and policy implementation for network use optimization are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of detecting an activity state of an application on a mobile device to which traffic is originated from or directed to, detecting a time criticality of data contained in the traffic to be sent between the mobile device and the host server, determining a timing with which to allow the traffic to pass through, based on the activity state or the time criticality and/or controlling radio use on the mobile device based on the timing with which the traffic is allowed to pass through. The method may further include selecting a network configuration in the wireless network for use in passing traffic to and from the mobile device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for using traffic categorization to select use of different network configurations in a wireless network, the method, comprising:
detecting an activity state of an application on a mobile device which traffic is originated from or directed to;
detecting a time criticality of data contained in the traffic to be sent between the mobile device and the host server;
determining a timing with which to allow the traffic to pass through based on the act…
