OFFLOADING APPLICATION TRAFFIC TO A SHARED COMMUNICATION CHANNEL FOR SIGNAL OPTIMIZATION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK FOR TRAFFIC UTILIZING PROPRIETARY AND NON-PROPRIETARY PROTOCOLS

摘要

A method for conserving network and battery usage is provided. The method includes determining that a device is communicating over at least two overlapping push channels and blocking one of the push channels to eliminate or reduce overlap between the at least two overlapping push channels. Related systems are also provided.

1. A method of reducing network traffic comprising:
recognizing multiple overlapping push channels at an application; determining that a first push channel of said multiple overlapping push channels can be blocked with minimal user experience impact; blocking the first push channel to reduce network signaling and battery consumption; monitoring application traffic over a second push channel of said multiple overlapping push channels; unblocking the first push channel based on monitored application traffic to service application traffic; and re-blocking the first push channel after the application has serviced application traffic.
