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 |
