20090279489 | Methods And Apparatus For Prioritizing Assignment Of A Packet Data Session For A Plurality Of Applications Of A Mobile Communication Device - Methods and apparatus for prioritizing assignment of a packet data session for a plurality of applications of a mobile communication device, especially when operating in wireless networks that limit the number of simultaneous packet data sessions available to the mobile device. The plurality of applications include at least a first (priority) application operative in connection with a first (priority) communication service and a second application operative in connection with a second communication service. The first (priority) service may be or include a “push” type data or message synchronization service. The mobile device causes a packet data session associated with the first (priority) application to be activated for accessing the first (priority) service. In response to identifying an indication of a request for information via the second application, the mobile device causes the packet data session associated with the first (priority) application to be deactivated, and causes a packet data session associated with the second application to be activated for accessing the second service. Subsequently, in response to identifying communication inactivity associated with the second application over a predetermined time period, the mobile device causes the packet data session associated with the second application to be deactivated, and causes a packet data session associated with the first (priority) application to be activated again with the wireless network for again accessing the first (priority) service. | 11-12-2009 |
20110202797 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESETTING A SUBSYSTEM OF A COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Described herein are a method, system, and computer readable medium for resetting a subsystem of a communication device. The method involves utilizing a subsystem error handler to generate a reset request signal indicating the subsystem has experienced an exception; distributing to a software component, residing externally to the subsystem, a status message indicative of a current state of the subsystem; performing a reset of the subsystem in response to the reset request signal; and rebooting the subsystem. When the subsystem can be reset without performing a system wide reset of the communication device, communication device downtime is reduced, which facilitates a positive user experience. | 08-18-2011 |
20130163547 | Methods And Apparatus For Prioritizing Assignment Of A Packet Data Session For A Plurality Of Applications Of A Mobile Communication Device - A mobile device establishes with a wireless network a packet data session associated with a first application for accessing a first communication service, as well as a packet data session associated with a second application for accessing a second communication service. In response to identifying an indication of a request for information via a third application, the mobile device causes the packet data session associated with the second application to be terminated, and establishes with the wireless network a packet data session associated with the third application for accessing a third communication service. | 06-27-2013 |

20110292888 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CUSTOMIZING A FOCUS INACTIVITY TIMER BASED ON NETWORK WATERMARK CONDITIONS - A method and apparatus for customizing foreground application inactivity timer values based on network maximum tunnel count conditions, the method determining a maximum tunnel count value at a mobile device; and configuring at least one tunnel inactivity timer value based on the maximum tunnel count value. | 12-01-2011 |
20110292889 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAXIMUM TUNNEL RESET - A method and apparatus for resetting a maximum tunnel watermark, the method starting a reset timer for a maximum tunnel count at a mobile device; on expiration of the reset timer, checking whether a current value for the maximum tunnel count is less than a maximum value for the maximum tunnel count, and if yes, setting the current value of the maximum tunnel count to the maximum value of the maximum tunnel count. | 12-01-2011 |
20110296017 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREVENTION OF APPLICATIONS FROM INITIATING DATA CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT - A method and apparatus for prevention of user-level applications from initiating data connection establishment using signaling from radio code, the method including receiving a request from an application on a mobile device at a tunnel management module on the mobile device, the request being to establish a data connection with a network; checking a state of a tunnel for the data connection at the tunnel management module; blocking the connection request if the tunnel for the data connection is in a stalled state; and allowing the connection request to proceed to a networking access interface module if the tunnel for the data connection is not in a stalled state. | 12-01-2011 |
20110296039 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BACK-OFF ALGORITHM HAVING DIFFERENT RETRY TIME CLASSES - A method and apparatus for a back-off timer having different retry time classes, the method checking whether a connection establishment attempt for a first service on a connection slot is in a back-off time that equals or exceeds a predetermined threshold; and if yes, allowing a second service access to the connection slot. | 12-01-2011 |
20120236733 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING USE OF A MOBILE HOTSPOT FUNCTION IN A WIRELESS DEVICE - A method for monitoring use of a mobile hotspot function in a wireless device, comprising: storing a last access time for a client within a memory of the wireless device, the last access time being a time when the hotspot function last performed a network address translation for the client; determining whether a difference between a current time and the last access time exceeds a threshold; and, if the difference exceeds the threshold, generating an indication that the mobile hotspot function is not in use by the client. | 09-20-2012 |
20140086050 | DATA SERVICE LEVEL UPLINK DATA FLOW CONTROL - A method and a mobile device for limiting uplink transmission for user data at the data service level are provided. At least one least one characteristic related to uplink transmission is monitored and uplink transmission for user data is limited at the data service level based at least in part on the at least one characteristic. Battery power can potentially be saved by limiting uplink transmission for user data at the data service level when uplink transmission is unlikely to be successful. | 03-27-2014 |
20140112223 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION BASED ON DATA ACTIVITY SENSITIVE TIMERS - Where a source of data has a time at which it is to transmit data, if it has data to transmit, for example as determined by a timer, this time is advanced when there is an active data connection. In this manner, rather than the data connection being torn down, and then immediately set up again, the data can be transmitted before the connection is torn down. In some embodiments, a history is maintained in terms of how long data connections are maintained. Then, once data transmission on an active connection ceases, the times are advanced, or not, depending on a likelihood that the connection will stay up for some further period of time. | 04-24-2014 |
20140341152 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CUSTOMIZING A FOCUS INACTIVITY TIMER BASED ON NETWORK WATERMARK CONDITIONS - A method and apparatus for customizing foreground application inactivity timer values based on network maximum tunnel count conditions, the method determining a maximum tunnel count value at a mobile device; and configuring at least one tunnel inactivity timer value based on the maximum tunnel count value. | 11-20-2014 |
